Quick answer
Kokoro 82M voices should be judged by four things: download size, memory use, battery use, and how quickly it starts.
Kokoro is a local neural text-to-speech model used by some apps for more natural speech.
Storage
Kokoro uses one shared model archive rather than one small file for every speaker.
Leave extra free space beyond the model itself so Android can work normally.
Memory
About 5 GiB usable RAM is a practical starting point for Kokoro 82M in Readream Pro.
If the phone keeps closing apps or speech stutters, use a lighter voice.
Battery
Long local speech sessions keep the processor active. Heavier models usually cost more power than simple system voices.
Test battery use during the kind of session you actually do, such as a 30-minute commute.
When to remove a model
Remove a downloaded model if you no longer use it or if storage is tight.
Keep at least one working system voice as a fallback.

Work through the problem in this order: first check kokoro 82m voices itself, then the app, then Android or the device. Keeping that order prevents you from changing many things when only one part is wrong.
