Made by fishaudio ## About ### What it is Fish Speech is a voice synthesis toolkit that generates expressive, multilingual audio from text. It uses large language model architecture to support voice cloning, multi-speaker scenes, and natural-language control. ### Who it suits It is for developers and researchers who need voice production capabilities. ### Where to use it - Command line interface - API server - WebUI ### How to set it up 1. Prepare your environment. 2. Download the model weights. 3. Use the CLI, API, or WebUI for inference. Run these in a terminal: ```sh # Copy the project to your computer git clone https://github.com/fishaudio/fish-speech.git # Go into its folder cd fish-speech ``` ### How to use it You send text to the model to generate audio. You can also provide a reference audio clip for voice cloning or use natural-language instructions to control emotion, prosody, and audio editing. ### Example You can generate a scene with multiple characters or use tags to adjust the emotion of the speech. ### For newcomers and experts For those new to the project, you can provide a script and describe the performance you want to hear. Experts can use the transformer-based architecture to perform complex tasks like multi-turn emotional revision and local audio infilling. ### Good to know - Supports approximately one hundred languages. - Provides streaming audio output. - Released under the Fish Audio Community License. - S2-Pro weights are under the Fish Audio Research License. ## README ````markdown # Fish Speech Generates expressive, multilingual audio from text using large language model architecture.
