// how it works
How it works
- Pick the job
Transcription, synthesis, voice changing, or editing — each tool here majors in one.
- Install and set up
Binaries, pip packages, or Docker; models download on first run for AI tools.
- Feed it audio or text
Drop in a recording or type what you want spoken.
- Export the result
WAV/MP3/OGG outputs drop straight into editors or apps.
// features
Why people love it
Voice cloning
Clone a voice from a short sample for narration and dubbing.
State-of-the-art models
Whisper-grade transcription and natural neural voices, free.
Offline capable
Many run fully on-device — nothing you say leaves the machine.
Free for products
Open licenses let you ship voice features without per-minute API bills.
Scriptable
CLI and Python APIs slot into larger pipelines.
Multilingual
Dozens of languages supported, not just English.

Questions, answered
Who maintains pyannote-audio?
It is an open-source project at pyannote/pyannote-audio with 1,113 forks. Check the repo's contributors and recent commits to see how active maintenance is.
Is pyannote-audio free for commercial use?
MIT licensed — use it commercially, no strings attached.
Does it work offline?
Most of these run fully offline after the model download.
Can I use the voices commercially?
Check each license — many allow it, but voice-cloning has ethical and legal boundaries.
How accurate is the transcription?
Whisper-class models rival paid services on clear audio; noisy recordings need cleanup first.
