+# Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces
+
+This guide will help you deploy your TTS model to your own Hugging Face Space.
+
+## Step 1: Create a New Space on Hugging Face
+
+1. Go to https://huggingface.co/spaces
+2. Click **"Create new Space"**
+3. Fill in the details:
+   - **Space name**: Choose your name (e.g., `NeuralVoiceTTS`, `MyTTS`)
+   - **SDK**: Select **Gradio**
+   - **Visibility**: Choose **Public** (or Private if you prefer)
+   - **Hardware**: Choose **CPU Basic** (free) or **GPU** (if you have quota)
+4. Click **"Create Space"**
+
+## Step 2: Push Code to Your Space
+
+### Option A: Using Git (Recommended)
+
+1. **Clone your new Space**:
+   ```bash
+   cd /Users/blinkdigital/Documents/Projects-Source-Files/IDE/AI\ Models/TTS/Kokoro/NuralVoiceBeta
+   git remote add hf https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME
+   ```
+
+2. **Push to Hugging Face**:
+   ```bash
+   git push hf main
+   ```
+
+   Note: You'll need to authenticate with your Hugging Face token. You can get one from: https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
+
+### Option B: Upload Files via Web Interface
+
+1. Go to your Space's **Files** tab
+2. Upload all files:
+   - `app.py`
+   - `requirements.txt`
+   - `README.md`
+   - `en.txt`
+   - `frankenstein5k.md`
+   - `gatsby5k.md`
+   - `packages.txt`
+
+## Step 3: Configure Hardware (Important!)
+
+1. Go to your Space **Settings**
+2. Under **Hardware**, select:
+   - **CPU Basic** (free, slower)
+   - **CPU Upgrade** (paid, faster)
+   - **GPU** (if available)
+
+## Step 4: Environment Variables (Optional)
+
+If you need custom settings, add them in Space **Settings** → **Repository secrets**:
+- Any custom environment variables your app needs
+
+## Step 5: Wait for Build
+
+- Hugging Face will automatically build your Space
+- First build takes longer (~5-10 minutes) as it downloads models
+- Monitor build logs in the **Logs** tab
+
+## Step 6: Access Your Space
+
+Once built, your Space will be available at:
+```
+https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+- Check the **Logs** tab for errors
+- Verify `requirements.txt` is correct
+- Ensure all file paths are correct
+
+### Model Not Loading
+- First run downloads models (~326MB)
+- Check available disk space
+- Ensure `packages.txt` includes `espeak-ng`
+
+### Slow Performance
+- Upgrade to GPU hardware (if available)
+- Model loads faster after first use (cached)
+
+## Customization
+
+### Change Space Title/Description
+Edit `README.md` frontmatter:
+```yaml
+title: Your Custom Title
+short_description: Your description
+```
+
+### Change App Theme
+Update in `README.md`:
+```yaml
+colorFrom: blue
+colorTo: purple
+emoji: 🎙️
+```
+
+## Continuous Updates
+
+To update your Space:
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Update description"
+git push hf main
+```
+
+Your Space will automatically rebuild with the changes.
