+# Superclonica
+
+Faster, cleaner speech from [Supertonic 3](https://huggingface.co/Supertone/supertonic-3):
+the same model and voices, with better sound and about 1.5x the speed of stock Supertonic on a
+GPU (1.6x on a CPU). 31 languages.
+
+Custom voices for it - free and paid, or trained from your own recording - are at
+[superclonica.com](https://superclonica.com/).
+
+## Install
+
+For an NVIDIA GPU (Windows or Linux x86-64, Python 3.11+):
+
+```bash
+pip install superclonica-gpu-cuda
+```
+
+For any CPU (Windows, Linux, macOS, Python 3.10+):
+
+```bash
+pip install superclonica-cpu
+```
+
+Install one of them per environment: both provide the same `superclonica` module. To switch
+from the CPU package to the GPU one:
+
+```bash
+pip uninstall -y superclonica-cpu onnxruntime
+pip install superclonica-gpu-cuda
+```
+
+### Requirements
+
+* **GPU package:** CUDA 12 and cuDNN come from pip; only an NVIDIA driver with CUDA 12 support
+  is needed (R525 or newer; RTX 50-series cards need R570 or newer). Without a working GPU it
+  falls back to the CPU with a warning.
+* **Linux:** glibc 2.28 or newer (Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 10, RHEL 8 and later).
+* **macOS on Intel:** Python 3.10-3.13; ONNX Runtime publishes no newer Intel macOS builds.
+* **Windows on ARM:** Python 3.12 or newer; NumPy and SciPy publish no older ARM builds.
+
+### The model
+
+The model (about 385 MB) is downloaded once on first use from its original Hugging Face
+repository, at a pinned revision, into `~/.cache/supertonic3` - the same folder the official
+`supertonic` package uses. Set `SUPERTONIC_CACHE_DIR` to keep it elsewhere, or pass an existing
+copy to work offline:
+
+```python
+tts = Superclonica(model_dir="path/to/supertonic-3")
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from superclonica import Superclonica
+
+tts = Superclonica()                     # GPU if available, else CPU
+audio, sr = tts.synthesize("Hello! Nice to meet you.", voice="F3", lang="en", seed=7)
+tts.save("hello.wav", audio)
+```
+
+From the command line:
+
+```bash
+superclonica --text "Good morning, everyone." --voice M1 --lang en --output hello.wav
+```
+
+Create the engine once and reuse it: start-up takes a few seconds.
+
+## Better than stock Supertonic
+
+### Sound
+
+* **Clean phrase edges.** Small learned models remove clicks and noise at the start and end,
+  and stray sounds the model sometimes adds after the last word (a click, a breath, an extra
+  syllable, a hum) are cut away. A second pass over the finished phrase removes the faint
+  breaths, thumps and clicks the model's hiss hid, and a piece that comes out empty or cut short
+  is rendered again.
+* **Words stay whole.** The cleanup keeps the words' own sounds - a final s or t that stands
+  apart after its closure, a whispered first vowel, a last word after a pause - which is checked
+  against the model's raw output with a phoneme recognizer on thousands of renders in
+  30+ languages.
+* **No clipping.** The model often peaks above full scale; a look-ahead limiter lowers just
+  those peaks.
+* **No dead air.** The model pads 0.25-0.6 s of silence before speech and 0.6-0.9 s after it;
+  this is trimmed to 80 ms and 200 ms, so speech starts sooner (`trim_silence=False` keeps the
+  padding).
+* **Quiet background.** A denoiser and a pause gate remove the model's hiss between words
+  (about 40 dB lower than stock).
+* **Fewer stutters and repeated words.** Long text is spoken in pieces of at most 160 characters
+  with natural pauses; stock uses up to 300, where repeats become several times more frequent.
+
+### Text
+
+* **Numbers are spoken as words** in 27 languages; stock misreads larger numbers in some
+  languages.
+* **Any text works.** Emoji, symbols and characters the model doesn't know are cleaned up
+  instead of failing the request; words like "can't" and "well-known" stay intact.
+* **Abbreviations** such as "pls", "brb", "idk" and "btw" are spelled out before speaking;
+  stock reads them as made-up words. `slang=False` keeps them as written.
+
+### Speed
+
+24 short phrases in 8 languages, same settings for both:
+
+| | Stock Supertonic | Superclonica |
+|---|---|---|
+| RTX 5070 Ti, median phrase | 174 ms | **117 ms** |
+| Ryzen 7 5800X (4 threads), median phrase | 697 ms | **432 ms** |
+
+CUDA graphs on GPU, multi-threaded model rewrites on CPU, parallel lanes and batches.
+
+## Custom voices
+
+The ten built-in voices are just the start. [superclonica.com](https://superclonica.com/) is a
+marketplace of custom Supertonic 3 voices, and they work with Superclonica as they are:
+
+* try any voice online for free, and download the free ones without signing up;
+* train a voice from your own 5-15 second recording, free, on your own NVIDIA GPU;
+* or order a custom voice from one of the authors.
+
+Each voice is a Supertonic voice-style JSON file:
+
+```python
+audio, sr = tts.synthesize("Welcome back!", voice="my_voice.json", lang="en")
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `Superclonica(...)`
+
+```python
+Superclonica(model_dir=None, total_steps=None, speed=1.05, *,
+             device="auto", device_id=0, threads=None, lanes=1,
+             gpu_memory_mb=1024, cuda_graph="auto", chunking=True, numbers=True,
+             denoise=True, target_lufs=-18.0, trim_silence=True, slang=True)
+```
+
+| Parameter | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `model_dir` | An existing Supertonic 3 copy (default: the automatic download above). |
+| `total_steps` | Model steps per phrase (default 8). |
+| `speed` | Speaking rate. |
+| `device` | `"auto"` (GPU if it works, else CPU), `"cuda"` or `"cpu"`. |
+| `device_id`, `gpu_memory_mb`, `cuda_graph` | GPU number, memory limit per model session, CUDA graphs (`"auto"`, `True`, `False`). |
+| `threads` | CPU threads (default: one per physical core). |
+| `lanes` | Independent model copies for the pieces of a long text and concurrent callers. |
+| `chunking`, `numbers`, `denoise`, `trim_silence`, `slang` | Turn the text and sound steps above on or off. |
+| `target_lufs` | Loudness used by `normalize=True`. |
+
+### `synthesize`
+
+```python
+synthesize(text, voice="M1", lang="en", *, seed=None, effect="auto", numbers=None,
+           normalize=False, return_report=False)
+```
+
+Returns `(audio, sample_rate)`: float32 mono at 44.1 kHz; with `return_report=True` also a dict
+describing the run. `normalize=True` brings the phrase to `target_lufs`; `effect="off"` disables
+the ending effects (the cleanup always runs).
+
+### `synthesize_batch`
+
+Several texts at once, with the same options; voices, languages and seeds may be single values or
+one per text, and the results keep the input order:
+
+```python
+results = tts.synthesize_batch(["First line.", "Second line."],
+                               voices="F3", langs="en", seeds=[1, 2])
+for audio, sr in results:
+    print(len(audio) / sr, "seconds")
+```
+
+### `save`
+
+`tts.save(path, audio)` writes WAV (16-bit) or any other format soundfile supports.
+
+### Voices and languages
+
+* **Voices:** `M1`-`M5`, `F1`-`F5`, or any Supertonic voice-style JSON, such as a custom voice
+  from [superclonica.com](https://superclonica.com/).
+* **Languages (31):** `ar` `bg` `cs` `da` `de` `el` `en` `es` `et` `fi` `fr` `hi` `hr` `hu` `id`
+  `it` `ja` `ko` `lt` `lv` `nl` `pl` `pt` `ro` `ru` `sk` `sl` `sv` `tr` `uk` `vi`
+
+## Command line
+
+```bash
+superclonica --text "Good morning!" --voice F3 --lang en --seed 7 --output morning.wav
+superclonica --text-file story.txt --voice my_voice.json --lang en --output story.wav
+superclonica --help
+```

+
+### Sound
+
+* **Clean phrase edges.** Small learned models remove clicks and noise at the start and end,
+  and stray sounds the model sometimes adds after the last word (a click, a breath, an extra
+  syllable, a hum) are cut away. A second pass over the finished phrase removes the faint
+  breaths, thumps and clicks the model's hiss hid, and a piece that comes out empty or cut short
+  is rendered again.
+* **Words stay whole.** The cleanup keeps the words' own sounds - a final s or t that stands
+  apart after its closure, a whispered first vowel, a last word after a pause - which is checked
+  against the model's raw output with a phoneme recognizer on thousands of renders in
+  30+ languages.
+* **No clipping.** The model often peaks above full scale; a look-ahead limiter lowers just
+  those peaks.
+* **No dead air.** The model pads 0.25-0.6 s of silence before speech and 0.6-0.9 s after it;
+  this is trimmed to 80 ms and 200 ms, so speech starts sooner (`trim_silence=False` keeps the
+  padding).
+* **Quiet background.** A denoiser and a pause gate remove the model's hiss between words
+  (about 40 dB lower than stock).
+* **Fewer stutters and repeated words.** Long text is spoken in pieces of at most 160 characters
+  with natural pauses; stock uses up to 300, where repeats become several times more frequent.
+
+### Text
+
+* **Numbers are spoken as words** in 27 languages; stock misreads larger numbers in some
+  languages.
+* **Any text works.** Emoji, symbols and characters the model doesn't know are cleaned up
+  instead of failing the request; words like "can't" and "well-known" stay intact.
+* **Abbreviations** such as "pls", "brb", "idk" and "btw" are spelled out before speaking;
+  stock reads them as made-up words. `slang=False` keeps them as written.
+
+### Speed
+
+24 short phrases in 8 languages, same settings for both:
+
+| | Stock Supertonic | Superclonica |
+|---|---|---|
+| RTX 5070 Ti, median phrase | 174 ms | **117 ms** |
+| Ryzen 7 5800X (4 threads), median phrase | 697 ms | **432 ms** |
+
+CUDA graphs on GPU, multi-threaded model rewrites on CPU, parallel lanes and batches.
+
+## Custom voices
+
+The ten built-in voices are just the start. [superclonica.com](https://superclonica.com/) is a
+marketplace of custom Supertonic 3 voices, and they work with Superclonica as they are:
+
+* try any voice online for free, and download the free ones without signing up;
+* train a voice from your own 5-15 second recording, free, on your own NVIDIA GPU;
+* or order a custom voice from one of the authors.
+
+Each voice is a Supertonic voice-style JSON file:
+
+```python
+audio, sr = tts.synthesize("Welcome back!", voice="my_voice.json", lang="en")
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `Superclonica(...)`
+
+```python
+Superclonica(model_dir=None, total_steps=None, speed=1.05, *,
+             device="auto", device_id=0, threads=None, lanes=1,
+             gpu_memory_mb=1024, cuda_graph="auto", chunking=True, numbers=True,
+             denoise=True, target_lufs=-18.0, trim_silence=True, slang=True)
+```
+
+| Parameter | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `model_dir` | An existing Supertonic 3 copy (default: the automatic download above). |
+| `total_steps` | Model steps per phrase (default 8). |
+| `speed` | Speaking rate. |
+| `device` | `"auto"` (GPU if it works, else CPU), `"cuda"` or `"cpu"`. |
+| `device_id`, `gpu_memory_mb`, `cuda_graph` | GPU number, memory limit per model session, CUDA graphs (`"auto"`, `True`, `False`). |
+| `threads` | CPU threads (default: one per physical core). |
+| `lanes` | Independent model copies for the pieces of a long text and concurrent callers. |
+| `chunking`, `numbers`, `denoise`, `trim_silence`, `slang` | Turn the text and sound steps above on or off. |
+| `target_lufs` | Loudness used by `normalize=True`. |
+
+### `synthesize`
+
+```python
+synthesize(text, voice="M1", lang="en", *, seed=None, effect="auto", numbers=None,
+           normalize=False, return_report=False)
+```
+
+Returns `(audio, sample_rate)`: float32 mono at 44.1 kHz; with `return_report=True` also a dict
+describing the run. `normalize=True` brings the phrase to `target_lufs`; `effect="off"` disables
+the ending effects (the cleanup always runs).
+
+### `synthesize_batch`
+
+Several texts at once, with the same options; voices, languages and seeds may be single values or
+one per text, and the results keep the input order:
+
+```python
+results = tts.synthesize_batch(["First line.", "Second line."],
+                               voices="F3", langs="en", seeds=[1, 2])
+for audio, sr in results:
+    print(len(audio) / sr, "seconds")
+```
+
+### `save`
+
+`tts.save(path, audio)` writes WAV (16-bit) or any other format soundfile supports.
+
+### Voices and languages
+
+* **Voices:** `M1`-`M5`, `F1`-`F5`, or any Supertonic voice-style JSON, such as a custom voice
+  from [superclonica.com](https://superclonica.com/).
+* **Languages (31):** `ar` `bg` `cs` `da` `de` `el` `en` `es` `et` `fi` `fr` `hi` `hr` `hu` `id`
+  `it` `ja` `ko` `lt` `lv` `nl` `pl` `pt` `ro` `ru` `sk` `sl` `sv` `tr` `uk` `vi`
+
+## Command line
+
+```bash
+superclonica --text "Good morning!" --voice F3 --lang en --seed 7 --output morning.wav
+superclonica --text-file story.txt --voice my_voice.json --lang en --output story.wav
+superclonica --help
+```
