Chichi Speech Service

This skill provides a FastAPI-based REST service for Qwen3 TTS, specifically configured for reusing a high-quality reference audio prompt for efficient and consistent voice cloning. This service is packaged as an installable CLI.

Installation

Prerequisites: python >= 3.10.

pip install -e .

Usage

1. Start the Service

The service runs on port 9090 by default.

# Start the server (runs in foreground, use & for background or a separate terminal)
# Optional: Uudate to your own reference audio and text for voice cloning
chichi-speech --port 9090 --host 127.0.0.1 --ref-audio "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-TTS-Repo/clone_2.wav" --ref-text "Okay. Yeah. I resent you. I love you. I respect you. But you know what? You blew it! And thanks to you."

2. Verify Service is Running

Check the health/docs:

curl http://localhost:9090/docs

3. Generate Speech

Use cURL:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:9090/synthesize" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "text": "Nice to meet you",
           "language": "English"
         }' \
     --output output/nice_to_meet.wav
