- POST /models/{model_name}/unload — unloads a specific model from
memory without deleting from disk, supports all engine types
- Frontend: Unload button in model detail dialog when model is loaded
- Delete button remains disabled while loaded (unload first)
- Add HFProgressTracker to LuxTTS and Chatterbox backends so tqdm-based
file-level download progress reaches the frontend (previously only Qwen
had this, LuxTTS/Chatterbox showed a static spinner)
- Add progress/current/total/filename fields to ActiveDownloadTask so the
/tasks/active polling endpoint carries progress data
- Show inline progress bar + bytes in the model list and detail modal,
poll at 1s during active downloads (5s otherwise)
- Fix GpuAcceleration crash: cudaStatusLoading was referenced before
initialization in its own useQuery declaration
- New ChatterboxTTSBackend wrapping ChatterboxMultilingualTTS (ResembleAI/chatterbox)
- Supports 23 languages including Hebrew, forces CPU on macOS (MPS issue)
- Monkey-patches torch.load for CPU loading, forces eager attention for compatibility
- trim_tts_output utility cuts trailing silence/hallucination from Chatterbox output
- Full engine integration: /generate, /generate/stream, model status/download/delete
- Hebrew (he) added to supported languages in frontend and backend validation
- Single flat model dropdown extended with Chatterbox option in both generation UIs
- ModelManagement UI groups LuxTTS and Chatterbox under 'Other Voice Models' section
Introduce LuxTTS (ZipVoice) alongside Qwen TTS, enabling users to choose
between engines at generation time. LuxTTS offers fast, English-focused
voice cloning at 48kHz with ~1GB VRAM.
Backend:
- Add LuxTTSBackend with encode_prompt/generate_speech integration
- Multi-engine registry (get_tts_backend_for_engine) replacing singleton
- Engine-prefixed voice prompt cache keys to avoid collisions
- Engine field on GenerationRequest (default 'qwen' for backward compat)
- Engine dispatch in /generate and /generate/stream endpoints
- LuxTTS in model status, download, and delete maps
Frontend:
- TTS Engine selector dropdown in GenerationForm (Qwen TTS / LuxTTS)
- Conditionally hide Model Size and Delivery Instructions for LuxTTS
- Engine field added to TypeScript types and Zod schema
- LuxTTS section in Model Management page
- Audio player: aria-labels for Play/Pause, Loop, Mute, Close; labelled playback and volume sliders
- Generation: aria-labels for Generate speech and Fine tune instructions buttons
- Voice cards: focusable, labelled, Enter/Space to select
- History rows: focusable, labelled, Enter/Space to play; transcript textarea labelled
- Voices tab: focusable rows, labelled, Enter/Space to edit; Actions button labelled
- Model management: focusable model rows and labelled Download/Delete buttons
- Server tab: regions with aria-label and tabIndex for Connection, Status, App Updates
- Stories: focusable story rows, labelled, Enter/Space to select; Actions and track editor buttons labelled
- Voice profile samples: Play/Pause/Stop and mini-player slider labelled
Tested with NVDA and Narrator on Windows. See docs/PR-ACCESSIBILITY.md for full description.
