# Yaps Text to Speech Read [the runtime guide](references/runtime.md) before the first operation. It defines `<yaps>`, account readiness, local permissions, and file handling. Required Yaps version: 2.3.124 or newer. Check installed command help for later capabilities. Feature readiness: Reading engines: Kokoro for English, Chatterbox for supported expressive English on Apple Silicon, Supertonic for its supported languages. Query installed support before downloading or selecting voices. ## Workflow Choose the engine for the language rather than whichever model is installed. Kokoro and Chatterbox are English-only; unsupported characters can disappear while the result sounds fluent. Use Supertonic for a language its installed catalogue supports; do not substitute English pronunciation for an unsupported language. Chatterbox additionally requires a supported Apple Silicon machine. Use `<yaps> speech synthesize --text-file <input.txt> --mode <kokoro|chatterbox|supertonic> --output <new.wav> --pretty`. Use `--text` only for short, safely quoted input; prefer a private temporary text file for multiline text or shell characters. `--mode` applies to this run and must not change the user's global default. A selected `--voice` belongs to its engine and cannot be carried across an engine change. Default to a new `<source> Audio.wav`, or `Yaps Speech.wav` with a unique suffix. Verify the file is playable and non-empty, and check beginning/end completeness and pronunciation when pl
