# voices

Each `*.wav` in this directory is a predefined voice. 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.
