In their own words
Voicebox
Voicebox is a free, open-source local AI voice studio for voice cloning, speech generation, dictation, and agent voice output. Its desktop app can clone a voice from as little as three seconds of audio, supplied by file, microphone recording, or system capture. The maker lists seven text-to-speech engines for cloning, preset voices, and delivery control. A timeline editor supports multi-voice narratives, arranging tracks, trimming clips, and mixing conversations; effects include pitch shift, reverb, delay, and compression. Dictation uses a global shortcut to send transcripts to the focused text field or clipboard, with local Whisper models supporting 99 languages. MCP-aware agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline can speak through Voicebox, and a local REST API provides speech generation and related functions. The privacy policy says the offline desktop app requires no account and does not send recordings, profiles, transcripts, generations, or settings to the maker. Local is free with unlimited local generations and captures. Cloud and mobile sync are marked as coming soon, and cloud pricing and limits are not final.
VoiceStudio
VoiceStudio is an open-source voice AI studio for local voice cloning, voice design, video dubbing, dictation, transcription and audiobook creation. Users can describe a voice by gender, age, accent, pitch and emotion without providing reference audio. Its dubbing workflow transcribes and translates video, then re-voices it while keeping speakers separate and aligning timing with the original. Users can create multi-voice audio from scripts and chaptered audiobooks from long text or EPUB files. The desktop app exposes a local OpenAI-compatible API for speech, voices, transcription and dubbing. The maker lists 26 adapters, including local text-to-speech and transcription engines and a configured-remote ASR adapter. The maker says recordings, generated audio, transcripts and derived voice data stay on user-controlled storage and are not received by its website or control plane. The app may access the network for updates, model downloads or explicitly network-backed adapters. The public build has no hosted dashboard or Cloud API. Open Source costs nothing under AGPL-3.0; Pro costs $99 a year and Lifetime costs $299, paid once. Speech model licences are separate.
