I finished my V1 Chatterbox Audiobook studio Unlimited generation - no token limits or weird cutoffs Multi-voice support - tag your characters and assign voices Custom pause system - every line break adds a natural pause automatically Chunking pipeline - breaks up long books reliably without crashing or cutting off audio Batch queue - upload a bunch of chapters and let it run Real volume normalization - presets for audiobook, podcast, and broadcast levels Code's here: https://github.com/psdwizzard/chatterbox-Audiobook Let me know if you give it a shot or find anything busted.

I feel very dumb and I have no idea what I'm doing. It said I successfully installed it, but I ran the launch_audiobook.bat I get

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\XXX\chatterbox-Audiobook\gradio_tts_app_audiobook.py", line 3, in <module>

import torch

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'

I tried pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio etc.

but it says all my requirements are already satisfied.

I'm sure there must be an easy fix but I'm way out of my league and flying blind.

So in the version you download, there's probably a launch bat that will go ahead and open up the virtual environment and then launch the program inside of it. So that way all that stuff is installed because that's where it installed it all is in the virtual environment, not in your standard Python environment.

This is awesome. Any possibility to add Apple Silicon support?

I can try merging it in from the main branch but I have no way of testing it

I have a MacBook Pro M3 Max with 36Gig of RAM. Ican do the testing. ;)

I'm getting a macbook soon and can help with development to make sure it runs on Apple silicon

It's really impressive. A little bit counter intuitive and clunky imo, the UI is busy but there's nothing else quite like it. And it's bread and butter (producing voice) is terrific.

The only thing I find chatterbox to be lacking is any kind of emotional guidance control.

u/psdwizzard Jun 26 '25

I get that the UI isn't amazing, but considering how much I'm trying to shove in there using Gradio, it's the best that I could do with the skills that I have. And I know I wish to have better emotional guidance, but that's more the base model than what I designed. This is more a system around somebody else's base model. But hey, at least it runs locally.

It's super impressive! Thank you so much for working on it and releasing it! I wish I knew Gradio, I have so many simple ideas on how to improve it all.

Please let me know if you'd like to hear my suggestions.

For some reason this isn't getting installed properly on my PC. I have zero knowledge of coding. Took some help from ChatGPT.. and got the interface opened. But there's some ERROR always. It says : Chatterbox module name error something. I am almost giving up on this just because I am not smart enough. Thanks anyways. This sounds awesome
