+# Talemate Text-to-Speech (TTS) Configuration
+
+Talemate supports Text-to-Speech (TTS) functionality, allowing users to convert text into spoken audio. This document outlines the steps required to configure TTS for Talemate using different providers, including ElevenLabs, Coqui, and a local TTS API.
+
+## Configuring ElevenLabs TTS
+
+To use ElevenLabs TTS with Talemate, follow these steps:
+
+1. Visit [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.com) and create an account if you don't already have one.
+2. Click on your profile in the upper right corner of the Eleven Labs website to access your API key.
+3. In the `config.yaml` file, under the `elevenlabs` section, set the `api_key` field with your ElevenLabs API key.
+
+Example configuration snippet:
+
+```yaml
+elevenlabs:
+  api_key: <YOUR_ELEVENLABS_API_KEY>
+```
+
+## Configuring Coqui TTS
+
+To use Coqui TTS with Talemate, follow these steps:
+
+1. Visit [Coqui](https://app.coqui.ai) and sign up for an account.
+2. Go to the [account page](https://app.coqui.ai/account) and scroll to the bottom to find your API key.
+3. In the `config.yaml` file, under the `coqui` section, set the `api_key` field with your Coqui API key.
+
+Example configuration snippet:
+
+```yaml
+coqui:
+  api_key: <YOUR_COQUI_API_KEY>
+```
+
+## Configuring Local TTS API
+
+For running a local TTS API, Talemate requires specific dependencies to be installed.
+
+### Windows Installation
+
+Run `install-local-tts.bat` to install the necessary requirements.
+
+### Linux Installation
+
+Execute the following command:
+
+```bash
+pip install TTS
+```
+
+### Model and Device Configuration
+
+1. Choose a TTS model from the [Coqui TTS model list](https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS).
+2. Decide whether to use `cuda` or `cpu` for the device setting.
+3. The first time you run TTS through the local API, it will download the specified model. Please note that this may take some time, and the download progress will be visible in the Talemate backend output.
+
+Example configuration snippet:
+
+```yaml
+tts:
+  device: cuda # or 'cpu'
+  model: tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v2
+```
+
+### Voice Samples Configuration
+
+Configure voice samples by setting the `value` field to the path of a .wav file voice sample. Official samples can be downloaded from [Coqui XTTS-v2 samples](https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v2/tree/main/samples).
+
+Example configuration snippet:
+
+```yaml
+tts:
+  voices:
+    - label: English Male
+      value: path/to/english_male.wav
+    - label: English Female
+      value: path/to/english_female.wav
+```
+
+## Saving the Configuration
+
+After configuring the `config.yaml` file, save your changes. Talemate will use the updated settings the next time it starts.
+
+For more detailed information on configuring Talemate, refer to the `config.py` file in the Talemate source code and the `config.example.yaml` file for a barebone configuration example.
