 Each of the [voices below](#voices) need to be downloaded once the first time they are used, and this needs an online connection. Subsequent runs can be done offline.
 
+### HuggingFace Access Token (Optional)
+
+The download of the model can be faster if you sent the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable. Create a [user access token](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-tokens) and set the environment variable if you want to unlock this, but it is totally optional.
+
+Once you have a HuggingFace access token, you can add it on your `.bashrc` file (or similar)
+
+```bash
+export HF_TOKEN=<your huggingface access token>
+```

 ### Voices
 
 You can choose a voice to use with the `--voice` flag. For this, we use [kokoro](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M), which is an Apache-licensed model. See [all available voices](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M/blob/main/VOICES.md).
