About Chatterbox
Chatterbox is an open-source text-to-speech (TTS) project from Resemble AI, published as a GitHub repository. It is a family of speech generation models, each suited to different needs. Chatterbox-Turbo is a 350M-parameter English model aimed at low-latency voice agents, and it also supports narration and creative work. Chatterbox-Nano is a 110M-parameter English model for on-device and CPU inference. Chatterbox Multilingual V3 is a 500M-parameter model that covers 23+ languages and supports cross-language voice cloning.
The repository includes example scripts for generation and voice conversion, along with Gradio apps for speech generation. The source lists model sizes, languages, and benchmark-style figures such as Nano running at 3x realtime on 8 CPU cores. A separate hosted TTS service is mentioned, but it is not part of the repository and its pricing is not stated.
