 "page_title": "How to run voice generation on an older laptop with no graphics card with VoiceStudio",
 "summary": "Use the CPU build to clone and generate voices on hardware without a dedicated GPU, trading speed for access.",
 "who": "Student or hobbyist on an older laptop who wants to try local voice AI without buying a GPU",
 "problem": "Most local AI voice tools assume an expensive NVIDIA card.",
 "outcome": "A working, if slower, local voice setup on integrated graphics or an older PC.",
 "steps": [
  "Make sure you have about 5 GB of free disk space.",
  "Install with `curl -fsSL https://voicestudio.sh/install | sh` (or the PowerShell command on Windows).",
  "Let setup install the small CPU build of PyTorch.",
  "Generate a short test clip and note how long it takes."

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "field",
 "caveat": "CPU mode is slower, Windows on ARM is experimental, and Intel Macs only run the UI against a remote backend.",

  "Software & DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "macOS, Windows or Linux desktop (Intel Mac runs the UI only and needs a remote backend)",
  "NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) or Apple Silicon (Metal) recommended; CPU-only works but is slower and needs about 5 GB free disk",
  "Git, Node.js 22+, Bun and Rust/Cargo only if building from source",
  "Speech models are downloaded on demand through the app; no paid keys or accounts required"
