Comment ça marche

  1. Install the package

    Per the README: pip install chatterbox-tts (developed and tested on Python 3.11); or clone and pip install -e . from source.

  2. Load a model

    Pick the family member for your job — Multilingual V3 for languages and cloning, Turbo for low-latency English agents, Nano for CPU/on-device.

  3. Generate or clone

    Run the example scripts (example_tts.py, example_vc.py for voice conversion) or the bundled Gradio apps to synthesise speech from text plus a reference voice.

// fonctionnalités

Pourquoi on l'adore

Three models, three budgets

Multilingual V3 (0.5B, many languages), Turbo (350M, one-step decoder for low latency) and Nano (110M, CPU-friendly) cover server to on-device.

Voice cloning and conversion

Clone a voice from reference audio for TTS, or convert one voice to another with the included VC examples.

Paralinguistic tags in Turbo

Native [laugh], [cough], [chuckle] and similar tags add human texture to generated speech.

MIT licensed

The full MIT licence — embed it in commercial products without a separate agreement, unlike custom-licence TTS releases.

Ce que vous pouvez créer

Readers working through the Audio shelf also stop at aidictation, open-source dictation with offline recognition, everywhere. The Audio shelf also holds espeak-ng — the compact open-source speech synthesizer for 100+ languages, small enough to embed anywhere. Also on this shelf: nightingale — Machine-learning karaoke with scores — sing at home, for free.

Questions fréquentes

Who makes Chatterbox?

Resemble AI (resemble-ai/chatterbox on GitHub), the voice AI company; Chatterbox is their open-source TTS family.

Is Chatterbox free?

Yes — MIT licensed, including commercial use. Only clone voices you have the right to use.

Which model should I pick?

Multilingual V3 for language coverage and cloning quality, Turbo for low-latency English voice agents, Nano when memory and CPU are the constraint — the README lays out exactly this split.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

Against Fish Speech (also on LibreAI), Chatterbox is MIT-licensed and lighter to embed, with a purpose-built low-latency/CPU line; Fish Speech is the larger platform-grade system under a custom community licence. Against XTTS, Chatterbox is newer, actively released and commercially simpler.

How do I get started?

pip install chatterbox-tts, then run example_tts.py — or open the Gradio TTS app in the repo.
