## What it is
VoiceCraft is a token infilling neural codec language model for zero-shot speech editing and text-to-speech on in-the-wild data like audiobooks, videos, and podcasts. It can clone or edit unseen voices using only a few seconds of reference audio.

## Use cases
- edit words in a podcast recording without re-recording
- clone a voice from a few seconds of reference audio
- generate speech in an unseen voice from text
- fix mispronunciations in audiobook narration
- run TTS inference from the command line or a Gradio UI
- fine-tune a TTS model on custom data

## When to choose
- you need zero-shot voice cloning or speech editing on real-world recordings
- you want a research-grade TTS model you can run locally, in Colab, or via Docker
- you need to edit existing speech audio rather than synthesize from scratch

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight production TTS API without GPU requirements
- you need a permissively licensed model for commercial use (license is non-standard)
- you only need simple offline TTS without voice cloning

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: tts, speech-recognition, audio-processing, machine-learning, deep-learning
- domain: speech-processing, artificial-intelligence
- platform: python, cross-platform
