1. Starting AllTalk

To start using AllTalk, you’ll use various start_xxx files:

• start_alltalk - Launches the main AllTalk TTS application.
• start_environment - Activates the AllTalk Python environment.
• start_finetune - Starts the finetuning process.
• start_diagnostics - Generates a diagnostics file for troubleshooting.

After running start_alltalk, the application will display key details in the console, including update status, API address, and Gradio links.

2. Console/Terminal Information & API

Key Console/Terminal Details:

• GitHub Updated: Shows the last update date. Pull new changes by running git pull.
• API Address: 127.0.0.1:7851 - the API endpoint for TTS calls and a basic web interface.
• Gradio Interface:
  • Light Mode: 127.0.0.1:7852
  • Dark Mode: 127.0.0.1:7852?__theme=dark

3. Using the Gradio Interface

Generate TTS Tab

This is where you control TTS engine selection and model loading:

1. Change TTS Engine: Go to "Generate TTS" > "Generate" tab.
2. Swap Engine: Use the "Swap TTS Engine" button to select different TTS engines (e.g., XTTS, Piper, VITS).
3. Load Model: Click "Load Different Model" to change the model for the chosen engine.
4. Help: The "Generate Help" tab provides detailed explanations for this section.
5. General: In "Generate TTS" tab you can generate text-to-speech with all the available settings for the loaded TTS engine. Some TTS engines dont support all features, so some may be greyed out/unavailable for use.

Note: Loading an engine without downloading a compatible model/voice will result in an error.

4. Global Settings

Adjust global settings here. Examples include:

• Enable/Disable audio transcoding to different file formats e.g MP3.
• Delete Old WAVs: Automatically delete output TTS files older than a specified period on start-up.
• Adjust API settings: Globally change the behaviour of how AllTalk responds to TTS generation requests.
• RVC Pipeline: Enable in the "RVC Settings" tab if you need this feature and it will download the required models and set up the folders.

5. TTS Engine Settings

This section lets you configure each TTS engine individually:

1. Engine Information: Detailed descriptions of each engine (F5-TTS, Piper, XTTS, Parler, etc.) and links to developer sites.
2. Models/Voices Download: Download models or voices specific to each TTS engine.
3. Default Settings: Set default parameters, including temperature, pitch, and repetition.
4. Engine Help: Instructions on using each engine, managing models, and troubleshooting.

Model	DeepSpeed	Pitch	Speed	RepPen	MultiLang	Streaming	Low VRAM	Temp	Multi Model	Notes
F5-TTS	No	No	Yes	No	*Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes	*
Parler-TTS	No	No	No	No	No	No	Yes	No	Yes	**
Piper	No	No	Yes	No	*No	No	No	No	Yes	***
Coqui VITS	No	No	No	No	*No	No	Yes	No	Yes	***
Coqui XTTS	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	****

Notes

• F5-TTS: Supports only Chinese and English voice cloning.
• Parler-TTS: Likely English TTS generation only.
• Piper and Coqui VITS: Language support depends on the model file loaded.
• Coqui XTTS: Multi-language and voice cloning capability.
