# Chatterbox TTS Backend
This directory contains the FastAPI backend for the Chatterbox TTS application.
## Project Structure
- `app/`: Contains the main FastAPI application code.
- `__init__.py`: Makes `app` a Python package.
- `main.py`: FastAPI application instance and core API endpoints.
- `services/`: Business logic for TTS, dialog processing, etc.
- `models/`: Pydantic models for API request/response.
- `utils/`: Utility functions.
- `requirements.txt`: Project dependencies for the backend.
- `README.md`: This file.
## Setup & Running
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- A Python virtual environment (recommended)
### Installation
1. **Navigate to the backend directory**:
```bash
cd /path/to/chatterbox-ui/backend
```
2. **Set up a virtual environment** (if not already created):
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On macOS/Linux
# .\.venv\Scripts\activate # On Windows
```
3. **Install dependencies**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Running the Development Server
From the `backend` directory, run:
```bash
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```
### Accessing the API
Once running, you can access:
- API documentation (Swagger UI): `http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs`
- Alternative API docs (ReDoc): `http://127.0.0.1:8000/redoc`
- API root: `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`
### Development Notes
- The `--reload` flag enables auto-reload on code changes
- The server will be accessible on all network interfaces with `--host 0.0.0.0`
- Default port is 8000, but you can change it with `--port <port_number>`
