# Text-To-Audio

The `stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0` pipeline generates audio from text prompts.

## Prerequisites

If you use a gated model (e.g., `stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0`), ensure you have access:

1. **Accept Model License**: Visit the model page on Hugging Face (e.g., [stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0]) and accept the user agreement.
2. **Authenticate**: Log in to Hugging Face locally to access the gated model.
   ```bash
   huggingface-cli login
   ```

## Local CLI Usage

```bash
python text_to_audio.py \
  --model stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0 \
  --prompt "The sound of a hammer hitting a wooden surface" \
  --negative_prompt "Low quality" \
  --seed 42 \
  --guidance_scale 7.0 \
  --audio_length 10.0 \
  --num_inference_steps 100 \
  --output stable_audio_output.wav
```

Key arguments:

- `--prompt`: text description (string).
- `--negative_prompt`: negative prompt for classifier-free guidance.
- `--seed`: integer seed for deterministic generation.
- `--guidance_scale`: classifier-free guidance scale.
- `--audio_length`: audio duration in seconds.
- `--num_inference_steps`: diffusion sampling steps.(more steps = higher quality, slower).
- `--output`: path to save the generated WAV file.
