+# Simple TTTS
+
+A simple text to speech powered by [kokoro](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M).
+
+## Setup
+
+Create new environment. Here I use `conda`
+
+```bash
+$ conda create -n tts
+```
+
+Because I use an intel-based laptop, I use [ipex-llm environment with pytorch 2.6](https://git.ayo.run/ayo/ipex-llm/src/branch/main/docs/mddocs/Quickstart/install_pytorch26_gpu.md)
+
+```bash
+### for Intel XPU specific device usage:
+$ conda create -n tts --clone llm-pt26
+```
+
+Activate the environment and install the dependencies
+
+```bash
+$ conda activate tts
+$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Because `vlc` to automatically play the generated audio, you will have to install it:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install vlc
+```
+
+Note: installing `vlc` via flatpak or snap will not work, as the code need access to `libvlc`.
