+# Text to voice interface
+
+## Overview
+
+This project aims to provide text to voice with voice cloning ability. It is using chatterbox as backend.
+
+
+## Origin
+
+This project started as a [vibe-coded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_coding) [experiment](https://gitea.efforting.tech/mikael-lovqvists-claude-agent/claude-voice-experiment) but this version is somewhat more hands on.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Setup [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) for [python](https://www.python.org/)
+
+	Run [`setup-venv.sh`](./setup-venv.sh).
+
+	> [!NOTE]
+	> The default location is a directory called `venv` that is created next to the script, but you can override it by using the environment variable `PYTHON_ENV` to point to a different location.
+	>
+	> ```console
+	> PYTHON_ENV='/some/path' ./setup-venv.s
+	> ```
