Chatterbox TTS

Made with ❤️ by

resemble-logo-horizontal

Chatterbox is a family of three state-of-the-art, open-source text-to-speech models by Resemble AI.

We are excited to introduce Chatterbox-Turbo, our most efficient model yet. Built on a streamlined 350M parameter architecture, Turbo delivers high-quality speech with less compute and VRAM than our previous models. We have also distilled the speech-token-to-mel decoder, previously a bottleneck, reducing generation from 10 steps to just one, while retaining high-fidelity audio output.

Paralinguistic tags are now native to the Turbo model, allowing you to use [cough], [laugh], [chuckle], and more to add distinct realism. While Turbo was built primarily for low-latency voice agents, it excels at narration and creative workflows.

If you like the model but need to scale or tune it for higher accuracy, check out our competitively priced TTS service (link). It delivers reliable performance with ultra-low latency of sub 200ms—ideal for production use in agents, applications, or interactive media.

Installation

pip install chatterbox-tts

Alternatively, you can install from source:

shell

# conda create -yn chatterbox python=3.11
# conda activate chatterbox

git clone https://github.com/resemble-ai/chatterbox.git
cd chatterbox
pip install -e .

We developed and tested Chatterbox on Python 3.11 on Debian 11 OS; the versions of the dependencies are pinned in pyproject.toml to ensure consistency. You can modify the code or dependencies in this installation mode.

Usage

Chatterbox-Turbo

python

import torchaudio as ta
import torch
from chatterbox.tts_turbo import ChatterboxTurboTTS

# Load the Turbo model
model = ChatterboxTurboTTS.from_pretrained(device="cuda")

# Generate with Paralinguistic Tags
text = "Hi there, Sarah here from MochaFone calling you back [chuckle], have you got one minute to chat about the billing issue?"

# Generate audio (requires a reference clip for voice cloning)
wav = model.generate(text, audio_prompt_path="your_10s_ref_clip.wav")

ta.save("test-turbo.wav", wav, model.sr)

Chatterbox and Chatterbox-Multilingual

python

import torchaudio as ta
from chatterbox.tts import ChatterboxTTS
from chatterbox.mtl_tts import ChatterboxMultilingualTTS

# English example
model = ChatterboxTTS.from_pretrained(device="cuda")

text = "Ezreal and Jinx teamed up with Ahri, Yasuo, and Teemo to take down the enemy's Nexus in an epic late-game pentakill."
wav = model.generate(text)
ta.save("test-english.wav", wav, model.sr)

# Multilingual examples
multilingual_model = ChatterboxMultilingualTTS.from_pretrained(device=device)

french_text = "Bonjour, comment ça va? Ceci est le modèle de synthèse vocale multilingue Chatterbox, il prend en charge 23 langues."
wav_french = multilingual_model.generate(spanish_text, language_id="fr")
ta.save("test-french.wav", wav_french, model.sr)

chinese_text = "你好，今天天气真不错，希望你有一个愉快的周末。"
wav_chinese = multilingual_model.generate(chinese_text, language_id="zh")
ta.save("test-chinese.wav", wav_chinese, model.sr)

# If you want to synthesize with a different voice, specify the audio prompt
AUDIO_PROMPT_PATH = "YOUR_FILE.wav"
wav = model.generate(text, audio_prompt_path=AUDIO_PROMPT_PATH)
ta.save("test-2.wav", wav, model.sr)

Original Chatterbox Tips

General Use (TTS and Voice Agents):
- Ensure that the reference clip matches the specified language tag. Otherwise, language transfer outputs may inherit the accent of the reference clip’s language. To mitigate this, set cfg_weight to 0.
- The default settings (exaggeration=0.5, cfg_weight=0.5) work well for most prompts across all languages.
- If the reference speaker has a fast speaking style, lowering cfg_weight to around 0.3 can improve pacing.
Expressive or Dramatic Speech:
- Try lower cfg_weight values (e.g. ~0.3) and increase exaggeration to around 0.7 or higher.
- Higher exaggeration tends to speed up speech; reducing cfg_weight helps compensate with slower, more deliberate pacing.

Built-in PerTh Watermarking for Responsible AI

Every audio file generated by Chatterbox includes Resemble AI's Perth (Perceptual Threshold) Watermarker - imperceptible neural watermarks that survive MP3 compression, audio editing, and common manipulations while maintaining nearly 100% detection accuracy.

Watermark extraction

You can look for the watermark using the following script.

python

import perth
import librosa

AUDIO_PATH = "YOUR_FILE.wav"

# Load the watermarked audio
watermarked_audio, sr = librosa.load(AUDIO_PATH, sr=None)

# Initialize watermarker (same as used for embedding)
watermarker = perth.PerthImplicitWatermarker()

# Extract watermark
watermark = watermarker.get_watermark(watermarked_audio, sample_rate=sr)
print(f"Extracted watermark: {watermark}")
# Output: 0.0 (no watermark) or 1.0 (watermarked)
