About
This model was converted to MLX format from Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base using mlx-audio version 0.3.0.
Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.
This model can also be used with OpenVox, a desktop application for running compatible AI voice and text-to-speech models locally through a graphical interface.
After the required model files are downloaded, compatible workflows can run locally and can also be accessed through OpenVox API and MCP integrations.
Available features depend on the capabilities of the selected model. OpenVox is a third-party application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original model authors or maintainers.

Using it via the API

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="theoracleguy-qwen3-tts-12hz" -F file=@audio.mp3
