+# Emotional TTS Comparison
+
+This project explores ways to incorporate emotion into Text-to-Speech (TTS) using OpenAI's GPT-4 for text modification and TTS-1 for speech synthesis.
+
+## Background
+
+While some TTS systems like Bark can include descriptive elements in speech (e.g., "(큰 소리로) 위험해요!"), they may have quality issues with noise. This project aims to find a method to convey emotion using OpenAI's TTS while maintaining high audio quality.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. The user inputs a text.
+2. The system generates three versions of the text:
+   - Original: The input text as-is
+   - Emotional: A slightly more emotional version
+   - Exaggerated: A highly emotional, exaggerated version
+3. Each version is then converted to speech using OpenAI's TTS-1 model.
+
+## Example
+
+Original: "위험해요"
+Emotional: "위험해요!!"
+Exaggerated: "잠깐만요! 안돼, 위험해요!!"
+
+## Features
+
+- Uses GPT-4o-mini for text modification
+- Employs OpenAI's TTS-1 for high-quality speech synthesis
+- Provides a Gradio interface for easy interaction
+- Allows comparison of different emotional intensities in speech
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Enter your text in the input box.
+2. Click "Generate Versions and Speech".
+3. Listen to and compare the three versions of the speech.
+
+## Deployment
+
+This project is deployed on Hugging Face Spaces, allowing easy access and usage without local setup.
+
+## Note
+
+This approach aims to strike a balance between conveying emotion and maintaining speech quality. It demonstrates how text modification can influence the perceived emotion in TTS output.
