## Two text inputs

Parler-TTS receives the spoken line and a separate description of how it should sound. You can describe pace, expressiveness, and recording conditions. This lets you compare deliveries of one line without recording a voice sample. Use English with the Mini checkpoint described in the developer's model card. Consult the corresponding documentation for other releases.

## Voice options for a short scene

Write a fictional announcement about a library closing. For the first take, describe a calm, confident voice in a quiet room. Keep the line unchanged in the second take and vary only the pace. Listen to both tracks. Compare the emphasis and how clearly you can hear the closing time. If timing matters for the edit, measure both files and check whether the line fits the shot.

Write a description with simple signs. When it is simultaneously set to a fast pace and long pauses, it is difficult to determine which trait influenced the result.

## Local setup and quality checks

The repository includes code for generating audio from both text inputs. Set up the environment, download the weights, and try a short passage before processing a large batch. When changing versions, save the settings with the audio. The same script may sound different with other weights or settings. Check pronunciation against the written line and discard takes with unclear words.
