Everything in one studio

Professional voice tools, zero compromise

Everything you need to clone voices, generate speech and produce multi-voice content — running entirely on your machine.

Near-perfect voice cloning

Multiple TTS engines for exceptional voice quality. Clone any voice from a few seconds of audio with natural intonation and emotion.

Stories editor

Create multi-voice narratives with a timeline-based editor. Arrange tracks, trim clips and mix conversations between characters.

Audio effects pipeline

Apply pitch shift, reverb, delay and compression, then save the result as a preset. Preview effects live and set defaults per voice.

Local or remote

Run GPU inference on Metal, CUDA, ROCm, Intel Arc or DirectML — or connect to a remote machine with one-click server discovery.

Audio transcription

Whisper powers accurate speech-to-text and automatically extracts reference text from voice samples for cleaner cloning.

Unlimited generation length

Generate up to 50,000 characters in one go. Text is split at sentence boundaries, generated per chunk and crossfaded seamlessly.

Any clip becomes a voice

Three ways in. One convincing clone.

Upload a clip, record from your microphone or capture audio playing on your system. Voicebox clones the voice from as little as three seconds of audio.

Dictation that follows you

Dictate anywhere. Paste into any app.

Hold a shortcut anywhere on your machine, speak, release. The transcript lands in a focused text field or your clipboard. Agents speak back through the same pill in any cloned voice.

Whisper, sized for every machine

Base, Small, Medium, Large and Turbo. All local, all multilingual.

Refined transcripts

An optional local model removes filler and fixes punctuation without rewriting you.

Agents speak in voices you own

Any MCP-aware client gets a voice with one tool call.

MCP voice surface

Every agent gets a voice.

One tool call — voicebox.speak — and any MCP-aware agent can talk to you in a voice you've cloned.

agent-tool-call.tsMCP
await voicebox.speak({
  voice: "morgan",
  text: "The render is finished.",
  delivery: "calm, close-mic",
});
Connectedlocalhost · no API key

Per-agent voice

Bind each MCP client to a profile. Claude Code in Morgan, Cursor in Scarlett.

Always visible

Every agent-initiated speech surfaces the voice pill. No silent background TTS.

Open protocols

MCP ships first. ACP, A2A and other tool-call primitives can share the same endpoint.

Character, not a preset

Voices with a personality.

Give any voice profile a free-form personality. Then rewrite your text in their voice, or let them compose a fresh line of their own — your cloned voice, in full character.

Detective NoirJarvis · English
Persona
“1940s noir detective. World-weary, cynical, every situation a metaphor for the city's underbelly. Talks like he's seen one stack trace too many.”
Compose a line

“The logs were clean, see. Too clean. Somewhere in that quiet little stack, somebody was lying.”

From the voice room

Built for people who work in voice.

Creators, engineers and narrative teams use Voicebox when the voice has to feel like it belongs to them.

“The first voice stack that felt like it belonged on my desktop instead of someone else’s server.”

Voicebox FAQ

What should you know before you clone?

The short answers about local processing, paid plans and giving an agent a voice of its own.

What is Voicebox?

Voicebox is a local-first voice cloning and speech studio for cloning voices, generating speech, dictating into any app and giving MCP-aware agents a voice.

Does Voicebox run locally?

Yes. The studio is designed for local GPU or CPU inference, with optional remote inference when you deliberately configure another machine. Your voice samples and generated audio do not need to leave your computer.

Is there a free Voicebox plan?

No. This Voicebox site offers paid Creator, Studio and Label plans only. Checkout opens directly on Stripe, with no payment-provider picker.

Can agents speak through Voicebox?

Yes. Any MCP-aware client can call the local voice tool and speak through a cloned profile you assign to it. Agent speech surfaces through the Voicebox pill rather than running silently in the background.

Ready when you are

Bring your voice studio home.

Available for macOS, Windows and Linux. Clone a voice, dictate a thought or give your agent a voice — without sending your audio to a server.
