Free Tool Lets You Run a Powerful Voice Cloner on Your Own Laptop
This could let you create realistic voiceovers for free, but also raises privacy concerns.
Deep Dive
Soprano TTS support has been added in update #28607. The update adds Soprano-80M and Soprano-1.1-80M as an audio generation model: a Qwen3 backbone plus a Vocos decoder that runs as a gen-only mmproj.
Key Points
- Soprano is a free tool that generates realistic speech from text and runs on your own computer.
- It includes two models, including a small 80M version that works on regular laptops.
- This makes voiceovers accessible for hobbyists and small businesses, but also raises concerns about voice cloning misuse.
Why It Matters
You can now create professional-sounding voiceovers for free, but beware of voice cloning risks.
