ChatTTS_colab is a wrapper project around the ChatTTS model that focuses on “one-click” deployment, especially in Google Colab. It provides an integrated offline bundle and scripts for Windows and macOS so users can run ChatTTS locally without wrestling with complex environment setup. The repository includes Colab notebooks that launch a Gradio-based web UI and expose streaming TTS, making it possible to listen to generated audio as it is produced. A distinctive feature is the “voice gacha” system, which batch-generates many distinct voice timbres and allows users to save the ones they like into a curated voice library. It has first-class support for long-form audio generation, making it suitable for audiobooks, podcasts, or long narration tasks. The project also implements multi-speaker or role-based reading, letting users assign different voices to different characters in a script and even use a large language model to generate that script in one step.
