YOU DON'T NEED TO PAY FOR ELEVENLABS OR WISPRFLOW ANYMORE. SOMEONE JUST OPEN-SOURCED BOTH IN ONE APP.
Completely free. Runs locally. No API keys. No usage caps. No audio leaving your machine.
Clone any voice. Global dictation hotkey. Your AI agent can talk back through it. 7 TTS engines. 23 languages.
Here's the full setup, under 5 minutes:
1) Download + install
Download for Mac (Apple Silicon, Intel) or Windows, or run via Docker. Open it, drag to Applications, launch.
2) Clone your voice (60 seconds)
Profiles tab → new profile → upload a 10–30 second clean audio sample. That’s your voice now, reusable across every engine.
3) Generate speech
Pick your profile, type your text, hit generate. First run downloads the model once, then it’s seconds per clip.
Use Chatterbox Turbo and type `/` to drop in `[laugh] [sigh] [gasp]` tags.
4) Give your AI agent your voice
Voicebox ships with an MCP server. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, or Cline once, and your agent calls `voicebox.speak` to talk back in your cloned voice.
5) Dictate into anything
Set a global hotkey. Hold it anywhere on your system, speak, release. Transcript pastes into the focused field: Slack, email, code, browser, all of it.
You just replaced two SaaS subscriptions with a 200MB native app.
