Frequently Asked Questions

ClonyVoice is a Windows application that clones your voice from about 30 seconds of audio, generates speech in 10 languages on your own GPU without limits, and turns any website into a branded marketing video with your cloned voice-over (Studio). It also dubs your content into 10 languages and includes a community voice marketplace, the VoiceStore.

Record about 30 seconds with the guided text in the app, or import an audio clip, then click Clone. Your first voice is ready in under 5 minutes. Cloning runs entirely on your computer — the recording never leaves your machine. A Precise mode with transcript gives an even more faithful clone.

ClonyVoice translates your script into up to 10 languages and speaks each translation with your own cloned voice, aligned on the original timings. It is audio synchronization: the picture is untouched and lips are not re-animated. Automatic translation runs online and uses your AI budget (cost shown before you launch); you can also paste your own translations for free.

The VoiceStore is the ClonyVoice voice marketplace: browse and preview community voices, add them to your library (included from the Creator plan), and publish your own voices for others to use.

Yes — an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA is required. That is a deliberate choice: voice generation runs on your hardware, which is why it is unlimited and why your voice never leaves your machine. As a rule of thumb, if your PC runs a recent 3D game, it runs ClonyVoice. There is no usable CPU-only mode.

ClonyVoice currently runs on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). macOS support is on our roadmap but is not available yet — we would rather tell you that plainly than sell you a promise.

Voice cloning and speech generation run locally and keep working offline for up to 48 hours between license checks — just reconnect to revalidate. The Studio (video creation) and automatic translation always require an Internet connection, because those AI steps run on our servers.

Free and Creator: 1 machine. Pro: 2 machines. Studio: 3 machines. You can free a seat at any time by disconnecting the app on a machine or releasing it from your online account.

Because the two things are different. Speech generation runs on your GPU and costs us nothing — it is unlimited on every plan. Your AI budget only covers what runs on our servers: writing Studio scripts, building video scenes, and automatic translation. It appears as a simple 0-100% gauge, and each plan's monthly budget is roughly: Free ≈ 3 videos, Creator ≈ 30, Pro ≈ 60, Studio ≈ 120.

On the Free plan, video creation pauses until your monthly renewal — voice generation on your machine keeps working without limit. On paid plans, your creations are never refused: at peak times they may start after a short wait in a priority queue. To get more before the renewal, upgrade to a plan with a bigger monthly AI budget.

Videos created on the Free plan export in 720p with a ClonyVoice watermark and a short "Created with ClonyVoice" end card — that is what keeps the free tier genuinely free. All paid plans export in 1080p with no marking at all.

Commercial use is included from the Creator plan (12 €/month) upward. The Free plan is intended for personal use and evaluation. In every case, you must hold the rights to the voices you clone and the content you use.

Yes, at any time, in two clicks from your customer area (secure Stripe portal). Your plan stays active until the end of the period already paid, then you move to the Free plan — your account, projects and voices remain on your machine. The Free plan also lets you try ClonyVoice before subscribing.

Voice cloning and speech generation run locally: your voice recordings never leave your computer and we never receive them. Online features work differently: when you use the Studio or automatic translation, the text and material needed are processed on our servers, and those requests are logged (content and usage) for security, billing and abuse prevention. We tell you this plainly so you can choose what you send.

No. Only clone your own voice or a voice whose owner has given you explicit permission. A voice is personal data; cloning someone without consent may be a criminal offence. The EU AI Act also requires AI-generated content to be disclosed as such (transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026). See our Voice Rights page for details.
