Open-source desktop voice studio: clone a voice, dictate into any app, run it all on your own GPU
Voicebox is a downloadable app that keeps voice work off the cloud. It clones a voice from a short sample, generates speech through seven text-to-speech engines, transcribes with Whisper, and dictates into any application on the machine. A stories editor arranges multi-voice narration on a timeline, and an effects chain adds pitch shift, reverb, delay and compression with saveable per-voice presets. Inference runs locally on Metal, CUDA, ROCm, Intel Arc or DirectML, or against a remote machine you control. An MCP server exposes it to agents. It is MIT-licensed and published by Spacedrive Technology Inc., the team behind the Spacedrive file manager.
The app is free forever with no account: cloning, every TTS engine, dictation and MCP all run locally at no cost. A Cloud backup and sync tier is announced at $12 a year and Studio at $48 a year, but both are marked coming soon and the page says the figures are not final.
Use tool ↗The most complete local alternative to the paid voice services: seven TTS engines, Whisper transcription, system-wide dictation and a multi-voice timeline editor, all MIT-licensed and running on your own GPU with no account. The costs are the ones local inference always carries — model downloads, GPU requirements and setup — plus a crypto token attached to the project that has nothing to do with using the app.
Watch out: The bundled voice library is stocked with presets styled on real public figures; cloning an identifiable person's voice without consent is a legal problem in many jurisdictions regardless of what the app allows.
