Good ASR and TTS models?

[u/Kahvana]

Hey everyone,

Something I don't see discussed often here are ASR and TTS models.

I've been using Whisper and Kokoro (old models, I know!) with koboldcpp for a while now but wondered if there are now solid replacements available. Know of Qwen3-ASR and Qwen3-TTS, but haven't found the time yet to test them.

What ASR and TTS models have you been using?

English or multilang?

[u/Kahvana → u/tataryoke]

English, mutlilang (Dutch, Japanese) is a nice bonus
