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.

Key features

  • Paralinguistic tags such as [laugh] and [cough] in Turbo and Nano
  • Multilingual model covering 23+ languages, with cross-language voice cloning
  • Six dedicated single-language finetunes for priority languages
  • Nano model designed for CPU inference, reported at 3x realtime on 8 cores
  • Example scripts and Gradio apps for speech generation and voice conversion
  • Creative controls including CFG and exaggeration tuning for zero-shot TTS
Best for: Developers and teams building speech applications, voice agents, or multilingual voice features who want open-source TTS models they can run themselves.
Good for
  • Open-source code and models available in a public repository
  • Turbo uses less compute and VRAM than earlier Chatterbox models
  • Multilingual V3 is described as improving speaker similarity and reducing hallucinations
Watch out for
  • Turbo and Nano are listed as English-only models
  • Multilingual V3 has 500M parameters, larger than Turbo (350M) and Nano (110M)
