Creating with Text to Speech software, even with the best AI tools like ElevenLabs is a highly iterative process, trying out voices, editing scripts for pacing and pronunciation, etc. etc., especially if you need multiple speakers for a podcast, or an audiobook or a radio play with multiple characters. Vois.so supports multiple speakers with automatic recognition when importing scripts. Very few TTS systems do that at present, combine that with itβs killer feature, it runs locally on your computer and does not operate on a token or time basis, just a very reasonable monthly or annual fixed cost. So however many interactions, generations or how much text you throw at it the cost is the same. This is new software, with a responsive developer who is actively supporting users and with considerable plans to build on a strong foundation. For a monthly cost at a fraction of its competitors this is well worth trying, there is even a free version with unlimited text and 10 generations a day, and full audio export for just $5 a go. I have been using this software for a few weeks now, and can highly recommend it.

Hey Product Hunt, Praney here. I build Vois solo from Melbourne.
Since the first Vois launch here, one complaint kept coming back from
podcasters and narrators, and I had it myself: cloud voice tools charge per
character, so every retake of the same paragraph costs money again. I
started calling it the preview tax. You stop iterating, and the read stays
mediocre.
Vois 2.x is my answer: an ElevenLabs alternative that runs on your own
machine. Every subscription has unlimited generation: no tokens, no usage
meter. Retake a paragraph fifty times and your bill does not move.
What is in 2.x:
- Four engines, picked per job: Fast for drafts (about 3x real time on CPU,
about 6x with GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon), Expressive for
delivery, Multilingual for 23 languages, and Omni on Pro with 600+
languages and Voice Design.
- 100+ voices across 21 categories, so a recurring narrator stays
consistent.
- Voice cloning from about 15 seconds of clean audio, with a consent step.
- A multi-speaker timeline with music, mastering, and one-click export.
- Vois CLI for AI agents: Claude, Codex, Cursor, or any agent that can run
a shell command can create projects, generate batches, and export while
you review the plan. Your agent does the talking.
- Since 2.0: encrypted portable backups, reconstructible generation
records, and accessibility across the whole studio.
Scripts, voice samples, and generated audio stay on your machine.
A peek at what I am building next: Quality Guard, which transcribes every
take, compares it against your script, flags misreads, and can regenerate a
bad segment and keep it only if a recheck passes. It is behind a feature
flag today.
For launch week: Subscriber is $10/month and Pro is $14/month(first 100 spots), applied
automatically at vois.so, and you keep this price for the life of your
subscription. Ends August 31, limited spots.
People use Vois for audiobooks, podcasts, faceless YouTube channels, game
NPC voices, tutorials, and course narration.
What would make this fit your workflow? Podcasters, audiobook narrators,
game devs, and anyone wiring voice into an agent pipeline, I am especially
keen to hear from you. I will be here all day.
@praney_behlΒ nice launch congratsπCLI support for AI agents is brilliant, wiring this directly into Cursor or AutoGPT to handle podcast intro scripts completely changes the game. Are there any rate limits or queue delays when executing CLI batches locally?

@priya_kushwaha1Β Thank you
Vois
@priya_kushwaha1Β Regarding the agent cli, absolutely the agent drives everything from script writing, timeline editing, voice selection, mastering, exports full end-to-end production with batch/queues. Sinmly have the app on your desktop/laptop and point Claude/Codex/Cursor/Gemini or any other agent to the Vois skill and sit and watch.
