+# Kartoffelbox-v0.1_0.65h2: A Merged German Chatterbox-TTS Model
+
+## Model Description
+
+This repository contains an experimental German Text-to-Speech model created by merging two fine-tuned [Chatterbox-TTS](https://github.com/anotherjesse/Chatterbox-TTS) models.
+
+This model is a **hybrid** that combines the characteristics of the well-known German `Kartoffelbox` model with a custom model trained on a specific [male/female] voice. The goal was to fuse the natural pronunciation of "Kartoffelbox" with the unique vocal identity and robustness of an extensively trained custom model.
+
+The final model is the result of a weighted-sum merge, using **65% of the weights** from the custom-trained model and 35% from "Kartoffelbox".
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Language:** German
+- **Type:** Hybrid, Merged Model
+- **Capabilities:** High-quality speech synthesis and Zero-Shot Voice Cloning.
+- **Vocal Characteristics:** [Describe what you hear here. E.g., A clear, male voice with a very natural German intonation, sounding less robotic than many standard models.]
+
+## Intended Use and Limitations
+
+#### Intended Use
+This model is intended for the following use cases:
+- Generating natural-sounding German speech.
+- Experiments in the field of model merging for TTS.
+- As a foundation for further fine-tuning on other German voices.
+
+#### Ethical Considerations and Limitations
+(This section can remain as is)
+Speech synthesis and voice cloning technologies carry risks of misuse. This model should **not** be used to:
+- Clone the voices of individuals without their explicit consent.
+- Create misinformation or "deepfakes".
+- Impersonate, deceive, or harass individuals.
+The user of this model is responsible for its ethical use and for complying with all applicable laws.
+
+## How to Use the Model
+
+Usage is identical to other Chatterbox models. You will need the `chatterbox-tts` library.
+
+**1. Installation**
+
+```bash
+# Clone the Chatterbox repository and install its dependencies
+git clone https://github.com/anotherjesse/Chatterbox-TTS.git
+cd Chatterbox-TTS
