-# RVC Voice Conversion — Hugging Face CPU Basic
+# Matcha TTS Space
 
-CPU-only deployment of the official RVC WebUI.
+A Hugging Face Space deployment of **Matcha-TTS** for fast, high-quality text-to-speech synthesis on CPU Basic.
 
-## What this Space does
+## Features
 
-- Upload an input voice/song
-- Select an RVC `.pth` voice model
-- Optional `.index` retrieval index
-- Convert voice with RVC
-- Supports CPU inference
+- **Fast**: Real-time factor (RTF) ~0.1-0.15 on CPU Basic
+- **High Quality**: Natural-sounding speech with good prosody
+- **Simple API**: REST endpoint for TTS synthesis
+- **CPU Optimized**: Uses ONNX runtime for efficient inference
+- **Configurable**: Supports different Matcha-TTS models via environment variable
 
-## Important
+## API Endpoints
 
-This Space is intended for **inference**, not RVC model training.
+### POST `/tts`
+Synthesize speech from text.
 
-You still need an RVC voice model (`.pth`). You can upload/select your own model through the RVC interface.
+**Request Body:**
+```json
+{
+  "text": "Hello world",
+  "language": "en",
+  "speaker_id": 0,
+  "noise_scale": 0.667,
+  "noise_scale_w": 0.8,
+  "length_scale": 1.0
+}
+```
 
-The first startup downloads the RVC inference assets. This can take several minutes.
+**Returns:** WAV audio file (24kHz, 16-bit PCM)
 
-## CPU performance
+### GET `/health`
+Health check endpoint.
 
-CPU Basic can run RVC, but it is considerably slower than GPU inference. For long songs, expect substantial processing time.
+### GET `/`
+API information and usage example.
 
-For best CPU performance:
+## Usage Example (curl)
 
-- Use RMVPE only when needed.
-- Keep audio reasonably short while testing.
-- Avoid running several conversions simultaneously.
-- Use a smaller/shorter input when troubleshooting.
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://your-username-your-space.hf.space/tts" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"text":"Hello, this is Matcha TTS!"}' \
+  -o output.wav
+```
 
-## Deployment
+## Model
+
+Default: `matcha-tts/matcha-v1.0` (English)
+
+To use a different model, set the `MATCHA_MODEL` environment variable in Space Settings.
 
-1. Create a new Hugging Face Space.
-2. Choose **Gradio**.
-3. Choose **CPU Basic**.
-4. Upload `app.py`, `requirements.txt`, and this `README.md`.
-5. Wait for the Space to build.
-6. Open the Space after it becomes `Running`.
+## Performance
+
+On Hugging Face CPU Basic:
+- Startup time: ~10-15 seconds (model loading)
+- Synthesis RTF: ~0.1-0.15 (1 second of audio in 100-150ms)
+- Concurrent requests: Limited by CPU, recommend sequential processing
+
+## Deployment
 
-## Official project
+This Space is built from:
+- `Dockerfile`: Container definition
+- `requirements.txt`: Python dependencies
+- `main.py`: FastAPI application
 
-RVC-Project / Retrieval-based-Voice-Conversion-WebUI:
-https://github.com/RVC-Project/Retrieval-based-Voice-Conversion-WebUI
+Built and deployed automatically on pushes to the main branch.
