VoiceStudio is an open-source toolkit for voice generation, text to speech, transcription, and dubbing, making it an alternative to ElevenLabs. It runs voice models locally, so creators can generate narration and convert speech to text without sending audio to the cloud. It is aimed at video makers, podcasters, and developers building voice features.
Key features
- Text-to-speech voice generation
- Transcription and dubbing
- Local inference on your machine
Before you switch
AI tools evolve fast, and open-source models and interfaces are catching up quickly. When you switch, check whether the project supports the models you already use and whether it can run on your own hardware or a server you control. Self-hosted AI keeps your prompts and data private, but it may need a little setup. Start with the project’s documentation and community guides — most popular projects have step-by-step install instructions that take under an hour.
Like every project on OpenShelf, VoiceStudio is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
