## How to dub a video into timed speech locally with Voice Studio

Repo: [debpalash/VoiceStudio](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Generate timed speech for a video on your own machine instead of a hosted dubbing service.

**Who it is for:** A video creator or localization editor who needs a dubbed version of a finished video and does not want to upload footage to a cloud service.

**The problem:** Dubbing usually means sending footage to a paid hosted tool and waiting on its queue, and speech often drifts out of sync with the picture.

**The outcome:** A dubbed version of the video with speech placed on the original timing, produced on local hardware.

### Steps

1. `curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh`
2. Open Voice Studio and choose the Video dubbing workspace.
3. Add your video and the voice or language you want, then install the required model when prompted.
4. Generate the dub and listen to the sections where speech starts and stops to check timing.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the VoiceStudio repo (github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio), dub <path to video> into <target language> using the Video dubbing workspace with timed speech. Expected output: a dubbed video file. Verify that speech starts and stops at the same points as the original dialogue.
```

### Caveat

The README says hardware needs vary by engine, so dubbing speed depends on your GPU or CPU.

Risk, remote script: The one-command installer is a script piped from the internet into sh, so read it or use the repository copy first if you are cautious.

Risk, voice cloning: If the dub uses a cloned voice, use only a voice you have permission to clone.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.

## How to turn a manuscript into an audiobook in batches with Voice Studio

Repo: [debpalash/VoiceStudio](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Produce narrated audio from written chapters using batch jobs on local models.

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

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

**The outcome:** Narrated audio files for the chapters, generated as a batch on local hardware.

### 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 to paste into your agent

```text
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.

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

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.

## How to dictate and transcribe speech without the cloud with Voice Studio

Repo: [debpalash/VoiceStudio](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Speak into a floating widget and transcribe recordings, all on your own device.

**Who it is for:** A writer, note-taker or professional who dictates often and does not want audio sent to a third-party service.

**The problem:** Most dictation tools send audio to a remote server, which may conflict with privacy rules or offline work.

**The outcome:** Spoken text captured through a floating widget and transcripts of recordings, produced locally.

### Steps

1. `curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh`
2. Open Voice Studio and turn on the floating dictation widget.
3. Dictate a short test sentence into your target app and check the text.
4. Open the transcription feature and transcribe a saved recording to confirm accuracy.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the VoiceStudio repo (github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio), set up dictation with the floating widget and transcribe <path to audio file>. Expected output: a text transcript of the audio. Verify that the transcript matches the spoken words in the recording.
```

### Caveat

The README says local workflows run on your hardware but accuracy and speed depend on the model and hardware you choose.

Risk, remote script: The installer script comes from the internet, so verify it before running it.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.

## How to let a coding agent run voice jobs through the local API with Voice Studio

Repo: [debpalash/VoiceStudio](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 60 minutes | Basis: From the README

Have Claude Code, Codex or Cursor call Voice Studio's local API or MCP to generate audio.

**Who it is for:** A developer building an agent pipeline that needs speech generation as one step, such as narrating release notes.

**The problem:** Agents have no built-in way to produce cloned or designed voice audio on local hardware, so each team builds one-off tooling.

**The outcome:** An agent that installs Voice Studio, generates speech through its local API or MCP, and returns the audio file.

### Steps

1. Open your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex or Cursor) in an empty project folder.
2. Paste the install prompt from the README and let the agent follow the agent guide.
3. Read the local API and MCP docs so the agent knows the available endpoints.
4. Ask the agent to run one test generation and confirm the audio file is created.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Install the VoiceStudio Electron app from github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio following docs/install/agent.md, then use its local API or MCP to generate speech for <text> with the <voice name> voice. Expected output: an audio file at <output path>. Verify the file plays and the spoken words match the input text.
```

### Caveat

The README says the agent guide asks before model downloads, so expect a pause to approve each large download.

Risk, remote script: The agent may run a remote install script, so approve the commands it plans to run before it executes them.

Risk, voice cloning: If the agent clones a voice, confirm you have permission for that voice first.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.
