Summary

  • remove the Kokoro English-specific G2P frontend
  • route English through the same shared eSpeak frontend used by the other eSpeak-backed Kokoro languages
  • stop packaging stale English Misaki resources in converted Kokoro GGUFs

Validation

  • built audiocpp_cli and audiocpp_server
  • generated Kokoro outputs for English, British English, and Spanish
  • checked generated outputs with framework Qwen3 ASR; transcripts were intelligible, with only expected proper-name uncertainty around Kokoro/eSpeak
