# VoiceStudio.sh

> Make voices. Tell stories. Keep the files.

Clone, design, dub, dictate, and build audiobooks in one open-source desktop studio. Local-first by default — no subscription, no usage meter; online services stay opt-in.

## Built for

Creators, localization teams, and developers who need a serious voice workflow without renting every second of it from a hosted API.

## Product thesis

Your Voice. Your Hardware. Your Studio.

## Capabilities

- **Own the Voice Pipeline:** Clone, design, generate, dub, and dictate from one desktop studio, with the models and output under your control.
- **Move from Clip to Production:** A multi-track dubbing workflow, audiobook editor, project library, voice gallery, and engine controls turn isolated model demos into repeatable work.
- **Run Where the Work Lives:** Use MLX on Apple silicon, CUDA on NVIDIA, ROCm on Linux, Docker on a server — or the OpenAI-compatible API from another tool.

## Evidence

- 646 languages
- 16 + 11 TTS + ASR engines
- 1 studio desktop app + API

## The Scoreboard

Same jobs, different terms. This is the table that made me build it.

## The System Floor

A GPU is optional. The whole pipeline runs on CPU — slower, but yours.

|  | Minimum | Recommended |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OS | Windows 10 · macOS 13.3+ (Apple Silicon) · Ubuntu 24.04+ | Any modern 64-bit OS |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB+ |
| VRAM | 4 GB — TTS auto-offloads to CPU | 8 GB+ (RTX 3060+) |
| Disk | 10 GB free | 20 GB+ SSD |
| GPU | Optional — CPU works | NVIDIA CUDA · Apple MPS · AMD ROCm (Linux) |

## Sixteen Voices In, Eleven Ears Out

One picker, Cmd/Ctrl+E from anywhere. Defaults are chosen; the rest auto-detect or install on first use.

|  | Count | Default | Standouts |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| TTS | 16 | VoiceStudio — 600+ languages, clone + instruct | CosyVoice 3 · VoxCPM2 · IndexTTS 2.5 · MLX-Audio on Apple Silicon |
| ASR | 11 | WhisperX — ~100 languages, word-level timing | Parakeet TDT at ~10× realtime on CPU · FunASR with inline diarization |

Drop-in OpenAI/ElevenLabs-compatible API: point your existing SDK at localhost — voice takes your own cloned-profile IDs, model pins an engine per request.
