VoicedByMe / Use cases / ElevenLabs alternative
Voice cloning · Offline · No credits
VoicedByMe is an ElevenLabs alternative that runs on your own computer. It clones a voice from a twenty-second recording and turns any amount of text into speech offline, for $30 once instead of a monthly plan with a credit limit.
Samples made offline with ready-made voices. All of them are AI-generated.

Where credits run out
A 90,000-word novel is roughly 500,000 characters. On a credit plan that is most of a month on ElevenLabs Pro, and many months on Starter. Narration, course material and long documents add up quickly.
VoicedByMe runs its voice model on your graphics card or Apple silicon chip, so the hundredth hour of audio costs the same as the first. Make audiobooks with chapters, save audio files, and redo a take as often as you like.
Made for
Consistent voice across long documents, with chapters found automatically.
Scripts, contracts and drafts under an NDA never leave your computer. No account.
The 35 ready-made voices can be used for anything lawful, including commercial work. Your own voice is yours.
A built-in, OpenAI-compatible speech API on your computer (/v1/audio/speech), and an MCP speak tool for AI agents.
Be honest
ElevenLabs reads far more languages, has a large voice library, dubbing and very expressive top models, and works on any device through the web. If you need those, it is worth the subscription.
VoicedByMe reads English, Spanish and German, and runs on Windows 10 and 11 and Macs with Apple silicon. If that covers you, it does the everyday work without a meter running.
It picks up your tone, pitch and accent from a single twenty-second recording and stays consistent across long documents. A quiet room makes the biggest difference, and the app checks your recording before it clones it.
Yes. The license is for personal or business use, the ready-made voices can be used for anything lawful, and the audio you make is yours. Someone else's voice only with their permission, and label AI audio where the law asks.
A graphics card from the last few years on Windows, or any Mac with Apple silicon, makes it fast. Without a graphics card it still works, more slowly: fine for audio files, too slow for reading live.
Yes. VoicedByMe runs an OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint on your own computer, and AI agents can use its MCP speak tool. It's off until you turn it on.
