Generates English or Mandarin Chinese speech from a reference recording, its exact transcript and the text to speak. Offers the WaveGen V-Spec and WaveGen-Flash models on ZeroGPU, with 24 kHz audio output. WaveGen is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by LeeSangHoon ## About ### What it is WaveGen is a text-to-speech app that produces English or Mandarin Chinese speech. You give it a reference recording, the exact transcript of that recording, and the text you want spoken. The model writes 24 kHz waveform audio directly. Two models are offered, WaveGen V-Spec and WaveGen-Flash. ### Who it suits Speech researchers and developers who want to try a text-to-speech model that works from a reference recording, and people who need short English or Mandarin clips. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Speech research | Researchers | Compare the two WaveGen models on the same input | Run V-Spec and Flash with one recording | | Software | Developers | Study how a ZeroGPU speech app is set up | Read app.py and runtime.py | | Media | Content makers | Make a short spoken line from a reference recording | Type a sentence and download the WAV file | | Education | Language teachers | Hear English or Mandarin text read aloud | Generate a short passage in each language | Anyone who needs speech in other languages, or one clip longer than 30 seconds, can skip it. ### Where to use it It runs in these places. - A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face - Windows, with Python 3.12.12 and a CUDA GPU for a local copy - macOS, with the same needs - Linux, with the same needs | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Generate speech from text | Content makers | A WAV file of the spoken text | | Compare the two models | Researchers | Output from WaveGen V-Spec and WaveGen-Flash | | Run the demo locally | Developers | A local copy that needs a CUDA device | ### How to set it up Using the Space online needs only a browser. A copy on your own computer needs the following. - Python 3.12.12 and pip - The huggingface\_hub package, which gives you the hf command - A CUDA GPU, since synthesis uses CUDA BF16 autocast - The system packages listed in packages.txt, which the hosted Space installs with apt-get - A Hugging Face token with read access named HF\_TOKEN, only while the model repository is private - Disk space for the repository, which holds 36 files 1. Install the huggingface\_hub package. 2. Download the Space's files into a local folder. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Install Gradio at the version the Space uses, then install the packages in requirements.txt. 5. Start the app. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download LeeSangHoon/WaveGen --repo-type space --local-dir WaveGen cd WaveGen pip install gradio==6.17.3 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Open the Space's page, or run the app on your computer and open the page Gradio shows. Supply a reference recording, type its exact transcript, and type the text to speak. Choose a model and generate. ```sh python app.py ``` | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | WaveGen V-Spec | The recommended model, selected by default, with 50 Euler steps | | WaveGen-Flash | A faster model that uses four Euler steps | | WAVEGEN\_MODEL\_REPO | A Space variable that sets which model repository to load | | WAVEGEN\_MODEL\_REVISION | A Space variable that pins the model revision | ### Example You upload a short English recording, type exactly what it says, then type a new sentence to speak. You press generate with V-Spec and get a WAV file of the new sentence, built from your reference recording. ### For newcomers and experts Text-to-speech turns written words into sound. Here the model also listens to a reference recording to shape the result. The first small thing to try is the included example with the default V-Spec model. The model generates waveform audio directly. Weights stay in FP32 while synthesis runs under CUDA BF16 autocast. V-Spec samples with 50 Euler steps and Flash with four. Both start from an initial Mel temperature of 0. The reference plus generated speech must fit within 30 seconds. The app does not truncate or split text for you, so split long text into shorter passages. You give a reference recording and its transcript → You type the text to speak → The chosen model generates 24 kHz audio → The app returns a WAV file ### Good to know The app handles one generation at a time. On ZeroGPU, how long you wait and how much you can run each day depends on your own Hugging Face account.
