List available voices, or hear one.

earmark voices [--engine {kokoro,say}] [--lang CODE] [--all]
               [--try VOICE] [--text TEXT] [-q]

Lists the voices grouped by language and annotated with Kokoro’s own grades.

  af_bella        A-  female
  af_nicole       B-  female
  am_michael      C+  male

Options

Flag	Default	Means
`--engine {kokoro,say}`	`kokoro`	which backend’s voices to list
`--lang CODE`	all	only this language, by name prefix
`--all`	off	include voices Kokoro grades D or worse
`--try VOICE`	none	synthesize a sample in this voice and play it
`--text TEXT`	a built-in sample	what `--try` should say
`-q`, `--quiet`	off	just the names, one per line
`--library PATH`		the library to act on

`--lang`

A single-letter name prefix, not a language code:

Code	Language
`a`	American English
`b`	British English
`e`	Spanish
`f`	French
`h`	Hindi
`i`	Italian
`j`	Japanese
`p`	Portuguese
`z`	Mandarin

This is a different thing from the --lang en-us flag on audio and publish, which is a language code passed to the model.

`--all`

Voices graded D or worse are hidden by default. They are bad enough that listing them would only waste your time; --all shows them anyway.

`--try`

Reading a grade table tells you less than three seconds of your own text does:

earmark voices --try af_bella
earmark voices --try bf_emma --text "Whatever you like."
