It names two models, a large one and a mini one, and wraps them in a small Gradio page that runs on Hugging Face hardware. You give it text and it returns audio. ### Who it suits It suits people who want spoken audio from text, and developers or researchers who want to hear how the Parler-TTS models sound before building on them. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Media | Video and podcast makers | Draft narration from a script | Listen to a short script read aloud | | Education | Teachers | Turn lesson text into audio | Hear a practice passage spoken | | Software | Developers | Read a short app built around the models | Check how the app loads the two models | | Research | Speech researchers | Judge the output of the large and mini models by ear | Compare the same text on both models | You can skip it if you need a finished product with an editor and exports, since this is a model demo. ### Where to use it - A web browser: open the Space page on Hugging Face - Windows, macOS or Linux: run a copy with Python | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Hear text read aloud | Creators | Audio of your text | | Compare model sizes | Researchers | Speech from the large and mini models | | Run your own copy | Developers | The same app on your own computer | ### How to set it up The online page needs nothing. A local copy needs Python and the packages in requirements.txt. - A web browser for the online demo - Python for a local copy - The packages listed in requirements.txt 1. To use it online, open the Space page on Hugging Face. 2. To run a copy, install the Hugging Face hub package. 3. Download the Space into a local folder. 4. Move into the folder and install Gradio 4.29.0 and the listed packages. 5. Start the app. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download parler-tts/parler_tts --repo-type space --local-dir parler_tts cd parler_tts pip install gradio==4.29.0 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Run the app from its folder, or open the Space online. Type the text you want to hear and start generation. The page then plays the audio it makes. ```sh python app.py ``` ### Example You type one short sentence and press the button to generate. The page returns audio of that sentence, which you can play back to judge the voice. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new to this, type one short sentence first. Short input shows you quickly how natural the voice sounds. If you know the field, the page loads the Parler-TTS large and mini checkpoints, version 1 of each. The repository holds only the app file and a requirements list, and the hosted Space runs on Hugging Face's zero-a10g hardware. You type some text → The Gradio app sends it to a Parler-TTS model → The model generates speech → You play the audio ### Good to know The README gives only a short tagline about high-fidelity speech, so the page is the real guide to its controls. The app uses an older Gradio release, 4.29.0, so keep that version for a local copy. - License: apache-2 - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the text you type ## README ````markdown # Parler-TTS Turns text into spoken audio in your browser with the Parler-TTS large and mini models.
