+# JamboGPT - African Language AI
+
+🌍 **JamboGPT** is an open-source AI application for Text-to-Speech (TTS) in Kenyan and African languages. It brings the power of AI to underrepresented languages, making technology more accessible across the African continent.
+
+Inspired by **Yarn GPT** by Saheed Azeez, JamboGPT focuses on African languages with high-quality, natural-sounding speech synthesis.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🎤 **High-Quality TTS**: Generate natural-sounding speech from text
+- 🌍 **African Languages**: Support for Swahili, Kikuyu, English, and more
+- ⚡ **Fast Inference**: Powered by Meta's MMS (Massively Multilingual Speech) models
+- 🔓 **Open Source**: Free and accessible to everyone
+- 🎯 **Easy to Use**: Simple Gradio interface
+- 📱 **Web-Based**: Access from any browser
+
+## Supported Languages
+
+| Language | Code | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| Swahili | swh | East African language spoken in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda |
+| Kikuyu | ki | Bantu language spoken in central Kenya |
+| English | eng | English language |
+
+## Installation
+
+### Requirements
+- Python 3.8+
+- CUDA 11.8+ (optional, for GPU acceleration)
+
+### Setup
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/jambogpt
+cd jambogpt
+```
+
+2. Create a virtual environment:
+```bash
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+```
+
+3. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Run Locally
+
+```bash
+python app.py
+```
+
+The app will be available at `http://localhost:7860`
+
+### Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces
+
+1. Create a new Space on Hugging Face
+2. Push your code to the Space repository
+3. Gradio will automatically detect `app.py` and deploy it
+
+## Architecture
+
+**JamboGPT** uses the following technology stack:
+
+- **Gradio**: Web interface framework
+- **Hugging Face Transformers**: Model loading and inference
+- **Meta MMS**: Multilingual speech synthesis models
+- **PyTorch**: Deep learning framework
+- **SciPy**: Audio processing
+
+## Model Information
+
+### Text-to-Speech Models
+
+- **facebook/mms-tts-swh**: Swahili TTS (Meta MMS)
+- **BrianMwangi/African-Kikuyu-TTS**: Kikuyu TTS (Fine-tuned MMS)
+- **facebook/mms-tts-eng**: English TTS (Meta MMS)
+
+All models are open-source and available on Hugging Face Hub.
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Inference Time**: ~2-5 seconds per 100 words (CPU), <1 second (GPU)
+- **Audio Quality**: 16kHz, 16-bit PCM WAV
+- **Max Text Length**: 1000 characters per request
+
+## Roadmap
+
+- [ ] Add more African languages (Luo, Luhya, Kamba, Amharic, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa)
+- [ ] Implement voice cloning
+- [ ] Add speech-to-text (ASR)
+- [ ] Support for multiple speakers
+- [ ] Real-time streaming
+- [ ] Mobile app
