export PATH="{baseDir}/bin:$PATH"
```
## Usage
```bash
{baseDir}/bin/sherpa-onnx-tts -o ./tts.wav "Hello from local TTS."
```
Notes:
- Pick a different model from the sherpa-onnx `tts-models` release if you want another voice.
- If the model dir has multiple `.onnx` files, set `SHERPA_ONNX_MODEL_FILE` or pass `--model-file`.
- You can also pass `--tokens-file` or `--data-dir` to override the defaults.
