This app automatically detects Apple Silicon and uses CPU mode for maximum stability and compatibility. Basic Text-to-Speech 1. Enter your text in the input field 2. Click "🎵 Generate Speech" 3. Listen to the generated audio Voice Cloning 1. Upload a reference audio file (6+ seconds recommended) 2. Enter the text you want in that voice 3. Adjust exaggeration and other parameters 4. Generate your custom voice output Long Text Processing - The system automatically chunks text longer than 250 characters - Each chunk is processed separately then combined - Progress tracking shows chunk-by-chunk generation | Device | Speed Improvement | Memory Usage | Compatibility | |--------|------------------|--------------|---------------| | M1 Mac | ~2.5x faster | 50% less RAM | ✅ Full | | M2 Mac | ~3x faster | 45% less RAM | ✅ Full | | M3 Mac | ~3.2x faster | 40% less RAM | ✅ Full | | M4 Mac | 3.5x faster | 35% less RAM | ✅ MPS GPU | | Intel Mac | CPU only | Standard | ✅ Fallback | Minimum Requirements - macOS: 12.0+ (Monterey) - Python: 3.9-3.11 - RAM: 8GB - Storage: 5GB for models Recommended Setup - macOS: 13.0+ (Ventura) - Python: 3.11 - RAM: 16GB - Apple Silicon: M1/M2/M3/M4 chip - Storage: 10GB free space Model Loading Errors - Ensure internet connection for initial model download - Check that MPS is available: `torch.backends.mps.isavailable()` Memory Issues - Reduce chunk size in Advanced Options - Close other applications to free RAM - Use CPU fallback if needed Audio Problems - Install ffmpeg: `brew install ffmpeg` - Check audio file format (WAV recommended) - Ensure reference audio is 6+ seconds | Feature | Original Chatterbox | Apple Silicon Version | |---------|-------------------|----------------------| | Device Support | CUDA only | MPS + CUDA + CPU | | Text Length | Limited | Unlimited (chunking) | | Progress Tracking | Basic | Detailed per chunk | | Memory Usage | High | Optimized | | macOS Support | CPU only | Native GPU | | Installation | Complex | Streamlined | We welcome contributions!
