+"""
+This script does not have any specific alltalk integration yet. So we are manually entering paths and it works as a standalone.
+
+The script does the following:
+    - Expands the embedding layer of the base XTTSv2 model according to the user created/trained bpe_tokenizer-vocab.json and the base model vocab.json.
+Set variable paths with the base config and base model.pth. 
+Set the new tokenizer/vocab bpe_tokenizer-vocab.json location.
+The new model will be saved at \expanded_models\expanded_model.pth
+
+Once this is done the new expanded model must be swapped in for the base model.pth then combined with the dvae.pth, vocab.json(bpe_tokenizer-vocab.json), base model config.json,
+base model speaker_xtts.pth and base model vocoder.json.
+
+
+I left some print debug statements in the script, they may be nice for the user to see during the process.
