**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/voices

### 2. Voice Cloning

Create custom voices from short audio samples.

**How it works:**
1. Upload 10 to 15 seconds of clear audio (15 seconds is the sweet spot)
2. Vois learns the voice characteristics
3. Use the cloned voice for any text
4. Voice cloning runs locally; reference audio is not uploaded for cloning

**Features:**
- Paid feature: available on Subscriber and Pro (export credits unlock export only, not cloning)
- Consent confirmation required for ethical use
- Create unlimited cloned voices
- Works across core TTS engines; Pro unlocks Omni reference use
- Multi-format input: WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG

**Ethics Note:**
Designed for your own voice or voices with permission. License prohibits unauthorized cloning of others' voices.

**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/voice-cloning

### 3. Local Processing & Private Content

Content production runs on the desktop while account and license services stay explicit.

**Privacy Features:**
- TTS and audio processing happen on the user's machine
- Scripts, reference audio, and generated audio are not uploaded for TTS or mastering
- Voice models are stored locally after download
- Setup, verified model-package downloads, software updates, activation, and periodic license validation require internet access
- Voice-engine packages download from cdn.vois.so and are checked against the release's verified manifest before use
- After an app update, Vois automatically re-downloads current packages only for voice engines previously installed; other engines remain on demand
- Model quality is user-selectable: Balanced (recommended) uses less memory and is faster; High quality uses more memory and is available on capable machines
- Local production can continue for up to 1 day after a successful license check while the license remains active

**Benefits:**
- TTS and mastering do not upload production content to a cloud processor
- Subscriber and Pro include unlimited generation with no per-character fees
- The 7-day free trial includes up to 10 generations per day
- Users retain their local project files and generated audio

**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/offline

### 4. CLI & AI Automation

Control Vois programmatically from the command line or AI agents.

**How it works:**
1. The CLI binary ships alongside the desktop app
2. Communicates via local IPC socket (JSON-RPC 2.0)
3. Run commands directly, chain them in local scripts, or have a local-capable agent propose and run approved steps

**Features:**
- Command groups cover status, credit sync, generation, projects, voices, export, models, settings, and shell completions
- AI agent integration (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- Batch generation from approved scripts or line-oriented text files
- JSON output mode for pipeline integration
- Voice cloning and management via CLI
- Export with mastering profiles (ACX, Spotify, YouTube)
- Generation accepts an optional numeric seed for reproducible Expressive or Multilingual takes

**Execution and approval boundary:**
- The desktop app must already be running on the same machine and under the same OS user as the CLI process
- A downloaded Agent Skill does not bridge a cloud agent to the local IPC service
- Agents should show planned state changes and output paths for user approval before acting
- Subscription and credit checkout is completed by the human in Polar's hosted checkout; agents may provide the pricing URL and sync the balance after the user confirms completion

**Website WebMCP discovery:**
- `get_vois_agent_setup` returns public Agent Skill, installer, and local handoff information
- `get_vois_purchase_options` returns public subscription and credit-pack information with human checkout links
- Website WebMCP is read-only discovery. It does not install or launch Vois, create checkout, complete payment, or control the desktop app
- Real product control uses the installed Vois CLI on the same machine and operating-system user as the running app, through launch-token-authenticated local IPC

**Use Cases:**
- Batch NPC dialogue generation for games
- Automated course narration pipelines
- Script-to-audio workflows for recurring episodes

**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/cli-automation

### 5. 600+ Language Multilingual Support

**How it works:**
1. Write or paste text in any supported language
2. Select any voice (built-in or cloned) and choose the target language
3. Generate locally, no cloud round-trips, no per-language surcharges

**Key Facts:**
- All 100+ built-in voices speak all 600+ Omni languages on Pro
- Cloned and designed voices also work across Omni languages on Pro: clone from English, use in Japanese
- Mix languages within a single project using speaker tags
- Right-to-left script support for Arabic and Hebrew
- Generation speed: approximately 1x real-time (30s audio ≈ 30s processing)

**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/multi-speaker

### 7. Pronunciation Dictionary

Custom pronunciation rules for perfect speech every time.

**How it works:**
1. Add custom pronunciation rules for problematic words
2. Rules apply globally or per-project scope
3. Supports whole-word matching with longest-match-first algorithm
4. Processed in the 9-stage text normalization pipeline

**Features:**
- SQLite database-backed persistent storage
- CSV import/export for batch vocabulary management

- Real-time preview to test pronunciation changes
- Pattern matching: exact words, not substrings

**Use Cases:**
- Brand names (e.g., "Vois" → "Voyce")
- Character names in audiobooks
- Technical terms and acronyms
- Foreign words with specific pronunciation

**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/pronunciation-dictionary

### 8. Smart Text Processing

Professional 9-stage text normalization pipeline for natural-sounding speech.

**Pipeline Stages:**
1. Sanitization (Unicode, control characters)
2. Whitespace normalization
3. Emoji to text conversion
4. Chat text cleanup (elongations like "soooo")
5. URL replacement (converts to "link")
6. Abbreviation expansion (Dr. → Doctor)
7. Currency normalization ($100 → one hundred dollars)
8. Number to words conversion
9. Pronunciation dictionary application

**Pacing Control:**
Speech rhythm is controlled through natural punctuation and inline pause nodes.
- Ellipsis `...` creates a reflective pause (~0.4-0.6s)
- Period `.` creates a sentence stop (~0.3-0.5s)
- Em dash creates an interruption pause (~0.2-0.3s)
- Comma `,` creates a breathing pause (~0.1-0.2s)
- Semicolons `;` create a mid-weight pause between comma and period
- Short sentences create staccato rhythm; longer sentences flow naturally
- New speaker lines create chunk boundaries with crossfade gaps between them
- Paralinguistic tags like [laugh], [sigh], and [gasp] add human texture (expressive engine only)
- **Pause nodes** insert exact-duration silences (300ms to 3,000ms) anywhere in your script. Add via the slash command (type `/` and select Pause) or by typing `[pause=500]` directly. Pauses render as amber pills in the editor and become empty gaps in the timeline. Works with every TTS engine. Useful for dramatic beats, scene transitions, chapter breaks, and NPC dialogue pacing.

**Learn more:** https://vois.so/features/text-processing

### 9. Professional Audio Export

Professional audio processing pipeline with platform-specific presets.

**Mastering Pipeline:**

- MP3 (128-320 kbps)
- FLAC (lossless)
- AAC

**Note on AI Audiobook Distribution:**
Distribution rules vary by platform and can change. Check each distributor's current AI-narration policy before production. ACX's Voice Replica beta is invitation-only and is not the same as accepting arbitrary externally generated narration.

## Privacy & Security

**Local-First Architecture:**
- TTS and audio processing happen on the user's machine
- Scripts, reference audio, and generated audio are not uploaded for TTS or mastering
- Voice models are stored locally after download
- Setup, verified model-package downloads, software updates, activation, and periodic license validation require internet access
- Connected features use the network when selected; desktop diagnostics are on by default; you can turn it off in Settings
- Local production can continue for up to 1 day after a successful license check while the license remains active

**Data Handling:**
- API keys are stored locally
- Feedback system information is opt-in
- Hardware fingerprinting is used for licensing
- Desktop diagnostics are on by default; you can turn it off in Settings
- When enabled, diagnostics send redacted error reports, sanitized native crash stacks, and a coarse hardware profile; the same setting allows that profile to accompany license checks
- Reports can include error category, engine category, execution method, model quality profile, text length, optional numeric generation seed, timing, and coarse application state
- Diagnostics never include synthesis text, transcripts, voice names, absolute user paths, audio or PCM, license keys, or raw error messages
- Raw crash dumps are processed and deleted locally; the local Vois log is never uploaded
- Unsent reports may remain queued in app storage for up to seven days; disabling diagnostics closes reporting, purges the on-disk and browser queues, and stops the native crash helper
- Sentry retains received reports for its standard event-retention period
- The license service separately uses Sentry for redacted server-side errors; its final scrubber removes request bodies, headers, cookies, route parameters, user data, error messages, and absolute paths

**Content Provenance:**
- Exported audio files contain metadata identifying them as AI-generated by Vois
- Metadata includes a unique export identifier, app version, and voice type (preset or cloned)
- No personal information, input text, or audio content in provenance metadata
- Cloned voice generations are logged locally with anonymized hashes for audit trail
- Server-side export receipts for cloned voice exports provide forensic traceability
- Supports compliance with EU AI Act Article 50 synthetic media marking requirements

**TTS Model Provenance:**
- Local voice models include licensing metadata for each downloadable component
- No proprietary training data; models use consented and public-domain datasets
- Vois does not train foundation models; we use pre-trained open-source checkpoints

## FAQ

**Q: When does Vois require internet?**
A: Setup, verified model-package downloads, software updates, activation, and periodic license validation require internet access. Connected features use the network when selected; desktop diagnostics are on by default; you can turn it off in Settings. TTS and audio processing run locally. After a successful validation, local production can continue for up to 1 day while the license remains active.

**Q: Can I use the audio commercially?**
A: Vois Subscriber and Pro subscriptions include a commercial license for YouTube, podcasts, audiobooks, courses, games, and client work. Licenses bought through partner deals include commercial use only on the tiers that list it. Always follow each destination platform's rules and any permissions attached to a cloned or third-party voice.

**Q: How does voice cloning work?**
A: Upload 10 to 15 seconds of clear audio (15 seconds is the sweet spot). Vois learns the voice and creates a custom voice for any text. Processing is local only.

**Q: Is there a free tier?**
A: Yes. Vois includes a 7-day free trial with 10 generations/day, core local engines, and in-app playback. Verify your email to start, no credit card required. After the trial, free access continues only while purchased export credits remain. Each export consumes one credit. Voice cloning and unlimited export require Subscriber or Pro. Omni, 600+ languages, and Voice Design require Pro.

**Q: What are export credits?**
A: Export credits are the pay-as-you-go option: free-tier users buy credits to download audio without a subscription. Buy packs as one-time purchases: 1 for $5, 3 for $10, or 10 for $20. One credit = one export. Credits never expire and unlock export only (not voice cloning, Omni, or Voice Design). Subscribers get unlimited exports and don't need credits.

**Q: What about voice cloning ethics?**
A: Designed for your own voice or voices with permission. License prohibits unauthorized cloning of others' voices.

**Q: What languages does Vois support?**
A: 600+ languages including Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, and more through Omni on Pro. All 100+ voices speak every Omni language on Pro.

**Q: Can I clone a voice in one language and use it in another?**
A: Yes. Clone from any language sample and use the voice in the legacy multilingual engine's 23 languages, or in all 600+ Omni languages on Pro. The voice identity carries over.

**Q: Where can I distribute AI-generated audiobooks?**
A: Audiobook acceptance rules vary by distributor and can change. Verify each platform's current AI-narration policy before production. ACX's Voice Replica beta is invitation-only and is not the same as accepting arbitrary externally generated narration.
