+# Chhattisgarhi Text-to-Speech (TTS) Model — VITS Based
+
+A deep learning-based text-to-speech (TTS) model for the **Chhattisgarhi language**, trained using the **VITS architecture**. This project is designed to make technology more accessible for the people of Chhattisgarh by converting Chhattisgarhi text into natural, regional speech.

+
+## 🌟 Project Highlights
+
+- 🔊 **Language Support**: Chhattisgarhi (regional dialects and tones)
+- 🧠 **Model Architecture**: [VITS](https://github.com/jaywalnut310/vits) (Variational Inference Text-to-Speech)
+- 🎯 **Goal**: Enable high-quality speech generation for educational, informational, and accessibility applications in Chhattisgarh
+- 🛠️ **Current Status**: Model trained and functional; app development planned

+
+## 📚 Dataset
+
+**Primary Dataset**:  
+[CHATTISGARHI-TTS-F on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sameerbanchhor/CHATTISGARHI-TTS-F) — curated and released by the author
+
+**Data Composition**:
+- Regional sentences in Chhattisgarhi, including various tones and expressions
+- Transcriptions aligned with high-quality audio
+- Data sourced from:
+  - YouTube spoken content (sentence-transcription pairs)
+  - IISE dataset for phonetic richness and clarity
+
+**Sample Sentences with Regional Tone**:
+1. _"राजस्थान के नामी ब्यंजन चूरमालाड़ू गुड़ के पाग म गहूँ के दरदरहा पिसान के लाड़ू म तिली अउ नरियल के सुवाद म सजथे"_
+2. _"दुग्ध क्रान्ति भारत के योजना हे जेखर ले भारत म दूध के कमी ला दुरिहा करे जा सकथे एला श्वेत क्रांति घलोक कहिथे"_
+3. _"जम्मू कश्मीर म पर्यटन उद्योग ला बढ़ावा देना उहाँ के अर्थबेवस्था ला सुचारू रूप ले चलाय बर जरुरी हे"_

+## 🧪 Inference Example
+
+```python
+from models import Synthesizer
+
+tts = Synthesizer(
+    checkpoint_path="models/chhattisgarhi_vits.pth", 
+    config_path="configs/config.json"
+)
+
+tts.speak("जम्मू कश्मीर म पर्यटन उद्योग ला बढ़ावा देना उहाँ के अर्थबेवस्था ला सुचारू रूप ले चलाय बर जरुरी हे")
+````

+
+## 🛣️ Roadmap
+
+* ✅ Train and test baseline VITS model on Chhattisgarhi dataset
+* 🔄 Add support for tonal variation and emphasis
+* 🧹 Improve preprocessing for low-resource sentence cleaning
+* 📱 Develop full-featured TTS application (mobile/desktop/web)
+* 🌐 Incorporate transliteration (for users who can’t type in Devanagari)
