# dots-tts — moved to its own repository

The dots.tts serving stack now lives in the dedicated **tts-stack** repo:

> **`~/development/tts-stack`** → `stacks/dots-tts/`
> (gitea `vh/tts-stack` on gitea.phasefinal.com once pushed)

Extracted from this workspace on 2026-08-11 so a dedicated agent can drive all TTS
tuning / development. Like chatterbox-fast, dots-tts is **authored software with a
test suite**, so it follows the sister-repo pattern rather than staying a thin
compose wrapper here. The new repo owns the code, Dockerfile, tests, the voice
corpus (formerly `voices/` here), the deploy runbook, and the running TTS
knowledge base.

## Deployed service

Live on **irv-ml1:8198** (`local/dots-tts:v3`, OpenAI `/v1/audio/speech`). The
host stack dir is `/opt/docker/compose/dots-tts/`. Deploy + rollback runbook and
all engine knowledge live in tts-stack (`docs/infrastructure.md`, `KNOWLEDGE.md`).

## Voice corpus

The canonical voice corpus (was `eshpfi-management/voices/`) moved to
`tts-stack/voices/`.

## Other TTS engines

The experimental TTS compose wrappers evaluated along the way (cosyvoice, dia,
kokoro, vibevoice, zonos, …) remain under `stacks/` here as reference; their
verdicts are catalogued in `tts-stack/KNOWLEDGE.md`.
