  • 45 minutes
  • From the README
  • Any agent

Authorization notice. Voice Studio is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Remote script. The installer is a script run from the internet, so review it before piping it into sh.

Who it is forAn independent author or small publisher with finished chapters who wants narrated versions without a studio session.

The problemRecording each chapter by hand is slow, and per-minute cloud narration can be costly for a long book.

The outcomeNarrated audio files for the chapters, generated as a batch on local hardware.

What you need first

  • A computer with an NVIDIA GPU, Apple Silicon, or a CPU (slower)
  • Free disk space; the CPU build of PyTorch needs about 5 GB
  • Permission to use any voice you clone
  • Internet access for the installer and the first model download

Steps

  1. curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh
  2. Open Voice Studio and choose the audiobook or stories workflow.
  3. Load the chapter text, pick a voice, and install the required model when prompted.
  4. Start a batch job for all chapters and check the first chapter's audio before running the rest.

Prompt for your agent

Using the VoiceStudio repo (github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio), create an audiobook from the chapter files in <folder path> as a batch job. Expected output: one narrated audio file per chapter. Verify that the first chapter's narration matches its text, including names and numbers.

Caveat. The README does not state a per-chapter time, so plan batch length by testing one chapter first.
