Plotweaver Nigerian Voice

Nigerian-English text-to-speech, fine-tuned from F5-TTS by Plotweaver AI.

Two modes:

• Nigerian Voice — type text and hear it in the fine-tuned Nigerian-English voice.
• Clone a Voice — upload a short reference clip and generate speech in that voice (transcript optional; auto-transcribed with Whisper when left blank).

Runs on free CPU hardware, so generation takes ~30–90+ seconds per request. Research / non-commercial use only (base F5-TTS is CC-BY-NC-4.0).

Configuration notes

• python_version: "3.10" is pinned so torch==2.4.0 (the tested training/inference version) resolves. On Python 3.13 that wheel doesn't exist — bump torch to 2.5.1.
• sdk_version: 6.19.0 controls Gradio; do not also pin gradio in requirements.txt.
• HF_TOKEN must be set as a Space secret with read access to the private model repo PlotweaverAI/nigerian-english-ft-tts.
• Optional F5TTS_ARCH variable (defaults to F5TTS_v1_Base) if the checkpoint was fine-tuned from a different base.
