Overview
Open-source voice cloning, voice design, video dubbing, dictation, transcription & audiobook creation in 646 languages.
Start with VoiceStudio (default, powered by k2-fsa/OmniVoice), or choose another engine. Features & engine catalog.
Local workflows run on your hardware. Remote services are optional; usage analytics requires consent.
Release downloads require curl and a SHA-256 tool. '--main' requires Git, Node.js 22+, Bun, Rust/Cargo, and platform build tools; see installer prerequisites and behavior. The installer preserves your settings, projects, and models. Older versions must contain Electron packages; it never falls back to archived Tauri builds.
Open Voice cloning, choose a voice or add a clean reference recording, enter your text, and generate. Install the required model when prompted. Hardware needs vary by engine; see performance.
The agent guide covers hardware detection, reusing existing data, asking before model downloads, and a test generation. Agents that support skills can also run 'npx skills add debpalash/VoiceStudio'.
See Electron setup for prerequisites and backend configuration.
Use 'bun run smoke-test' to build and launch an isolated packaged Electron app. Add '-- --install' for the networked managed-runtime installation check.
