The PDF to Podcast tool now exposes three TTS engines in the UI: Piper (fastest, ~30s synth), Kokoro-82M (balanced, MPS-accelerated), and Bark (highest quality, slower). End-to-end time for a typical PDF drops from ~20 min on Bark to ~1m 46s on Piper. Backend runs Ollama qwen2.5:14b for transcript generation with proper context-window sizing.
