# Plotweaver Nigerian Voice

Nigerian-English text-to-speech, fine-tuned from [F5-TTS](https://github.com/SWivid/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.
