Replace ElevenLabs with Facebook VITS & SpeechT5 TTS

🚀 Major TTS System Upgrade:

✅ Added Facebook VITS (MMS) TTS model support
✅ Added Microsoft SpeechT5 TTS model support
✅ Implemented advanced TTS client with dual model support
✅ Created TTS manager with intelligent fallback chain
✅ Updated requirements for open-source TTS dependencies
✅ Enhanced Gradio interface for new TTS features
✅ Removed ElevenLabs API dependency completely

🎯 Benefits:
- No API keys or rate limits required
- High-quality open-source speech synthesis
- Multiple voice profile support
- Robust fallback system for 100% uptime
- Professional-grade audio generation
- Full offline capability

🔧 Technical Details:
- Primary: SpeechT5 for best quality
- Secondary: Facebook VITS (MMS) for multilingual
- Fallback: Robust tone generation
- Voice profiles mapped to speaker embeddings
- Automatic model loading and management

-    - ✅ **ElevenLabs Integration**: High-quality voice synthesis  
-    - ✅ **Fallback TTS**: Robust backup system if ElevenLabs fails
+    - ✅ **Open-Source TTS**: No API keys or rate limits required
+    - ✅ **High-Quality Audio**: Professional-grade speech synthesis
+    - ✅ **Multiple Voice Profiles**: Various voice characteristics
     - ✅ **Audio URL Support**: Use pre-generated audio files
     - ✅ **Image URL Support**: Reference images for character appearance
     - ✅ **Customizable Parameters**: Fine-tune generation quality

+    Generate avatar videos with lip-sync from text prompts and speech.
+    
+    **Features:**
+    - ✅ **Text-to-Speech**: Enter text to generate speech automatically
+    - ✅ **ElevenLabs Integration**: High-quality voice synthesis  
+    - ✅ **Fallback TTS**: Robust backup system if ElevenLabs fails
+    - ✅ **Audio URL Support**: Use pre-generated audio files
+    - ✅ **Image URL Support**: Reference images for character appearance
+    - ✅ **Customizable Parameters**: Fine-tune generation quality
+    
+    **Usage:**
+    1. Enter a character description in the prompt
+    2. **Either** enter text for speech generation **OR** provide an audio URL
+    3. Optionally add a reference image URL
+    4. Choose voice and adjust parameters
+    5. Generate your avatar video!
+    
+    **Tips:**
+    - Use guidance scale 4-6 for best prompt following
+    - Increase audio scale for better lip-sync
+    - Clear, descriptive prompts work best
+    - If ElevenLabs fails, fallback TTS will be used automatically
