## Description

Higgs-audio is a generative text-to-speech engine that transforms text into natural conversational speech using large language model architectures. It functions as a multilingual speech synthesizer capable of generating high-fidelity audio across different languages with control over emotional tone and prosody.

The system includes a voice cloning tool that creates synthetic replicas of specific speakers from short audio samples without requiring extensive model training. It also provides a streaming audio API designed to deliver generated speech incrementally to minimize playback delay.

The project covers a broad capability surface including real-time audio streaming, custom voice cloning, and the synthesis of conversational speech with a focus on realistic prosody and tonal control.
