commit 76314624bb131d7336629d87eb8e08557d833479 Author: Vuong Hoang Date: Tue Jun 2 10:35:16 2026 -0700 chatterbox-fast v0.1.0 Sub-second streaming TTS on Chatterbox-Turbo via adaptive buffer-ratchet chunking. First audio in ~0.5s (vs ~5s one-shot) with no quality compromise — chunk joins land on natural sentence pauses and the stream converges to one large near-full-context chunk within 2-3 joins. Works because the engine runs faster than realtime; the no-starvation guarantee is proven in a GPU-free simulation (tests/test_scheduler.py). - chatterbox_fast/scheduler.py: the adaptive-chunk scheduler (pure logic, no GPU) - chatterbox_fast/app.py: FastAPI server (POST /tts streaming, /voices, /health) - bench.py: streaming client (ground-truth TTFB + starvation check) - Self-contained Dockerfile (slim base + chatterbox-tts from PyPI) - Three public-domain LibriVox starter voices baked in (see voices/ATTRIBUTION.md) MIT licensed. diff --git a/.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml b/.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..68d8a1d --- /dev/null +++ b/.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +# CI: run the GPU-free scheduler simulation on every push/PR.

The file **stem** becomes +the voice name returned by `GET /voices` and selectable via the `voice` request +field. The server clones the reference on the fly — no training, no enrollment. + +**A good reference clip is:** 5–30 seconds, a single speaker, clean (minimal +noise/music), 16 kHz or higher, mono. Match the clip's language to your text. + +Add a voice by dropping a wav in here (or mounting your own directory at +`CBF_VOICES_DIR`); `/voices` re-scans on every call, so no restart is needed. + +## Licensing note + +The voices shipped in this open-source repository are **redistributable** (public +domain / explicitly licensed for redistribution). If you add your own voices, +make sure you have the right to use — and, if you redistribute the image, to +share — those clips. Don't ship voices of real people or copyrighted characters +without permission. diff --git a/voices/catharine.wav b/voices/catharine.wav new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f82edd9 Binary files /dev/null and b/voices/catharine.wav differ diff --git a/voices/kara.wav b/voices/kara.wav new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7625888 Binary files /dev/null and b/voices/kara.wav differ diff --git a/voices/peter.wav b/voices/peter.wav new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ef6218f Binary files /dev/null and b/voices/peter.wav differ
