Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.22

Ollama Version (if applicable)

n/a

Operating System

macOS 26

Browser (if applicable)

Safari

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Expected behaviour:

  • Open user settings
  • Click Audio
  • Select "Kokoro.js (Browser)" from the TTS Engine list.
  • Close settings
  • Click the button to speak a response
  • Hear the response

Actual Behavior

  • Click user settings
  • Click Audio, then select "Kokoro.js (Browser)" as the TTS engine.
  • A spinner will start and never complete.
  • The browser console will have the message below:

[Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: undefined is not a function (near '...x of w...')
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729544)
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729619)
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729620)
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729687)
Module Code (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:746127)

Steps to Reproduce

Using macOS 26, where Safari has WebGPU enabled, and open-webui v0.6.22.

I'm trying to use the browser-based TTS via Kokoro. Enabled this in TTS Settings by setting Text-to-Speech Engine to "Kokoro.js (Browser)".

To test:

  • Click your profile name at the bottom left of Open-WebUI
  • Click Audio, then select "Kokoro.js (Browser)" as the TTS engine.
  • A spinner will start and never complete.

The browser console will have this error:

[Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: undefined is not a function (near '...x of w...')
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729544)
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729619)
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729620)
(anonymous function) (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:729687)
Module Code (2.f9LfW7pL.js:2824:746127)

Safari in macOS 26 enables WebGPU support by default, but this can also be tested in the latest non-beta macOS by enabling WebGPU in Feature Flags.

Additional Information

Kokoro does work in Safari in other applications; here's a page that loads it and lets you run TTS in the browser where it can be tested:

(I didn't include Docker log since this is all client side; let me know if you need it).
