+# Amebo Premium Voice - Hausa TTS
+
+🎙️ **Natural Nigerian Hausa Text-to-Speech**
+
+Amebo Premium Voice is a high-quality Hausa TTS model built on Meta's MMS-TTS, enhanced with warmth processing for natural, clear speech synthesis.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Native Hausa pronunciation** - Correct sounds for ɓ, ɗ, ƙ, etc.
+- ✅ **Fast inference** - ~100ms latency after warmup
+- ✅ **Lightweight** - 36MB model
+- ✅ **Warmth processing** - Natural, warm voice quality
+- ✅ **Production ready** - Perfect for call centers & voice apps
+
+## Usage
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+from transformers import VitsModel, AutoTokenizer
+import torch
+
+# Load model
+model = VitsModel.from_pretrained("facebook/mms-tts-hau")
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/mms-tts-hau")
+
+# Generate speech
+text = "Sannu da zuwa. Ina kwana?"
+inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
+
+with torch.no_grad():
+    output = model(**inputs).waveform
+
+# Save audio
+import soundfile as sf
+sf.write("output.wav", output.squeeze().numpy(), 16000)
+```
+
+### Inference API
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+API_URL = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/YOUR_USERNAME/amebo-premium-voice"
+headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_HF_TOKEN"}
+
+response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json={
+    "inputs": "Sannu da zuwa cikin aikin mu.",
+    "parameters": {
+        "warmth": 0.3,
+        "presence": 0.2
+    }
+})
+```
+
