The principle
Clone a voice only when its owner has agreed to it. VoiceStudio makes convincing synthetic speech from a few seconds of audio. That power is the reason for these rules. They apply to the website and previews, to paid Commercial Licenses, and, as our expectation of users, to the local app.
What is not allowed
- Impersonating a real person, or a company, so that listeners are misled about who is speaking.
- Fraud, scams, phishing, or defeating a voice-authentication or identity-verification system, including producing fake identity evidence.
- Harassment, threats, or content that targets a private person.
- Cloning the voice of a child, or of anyone who cannot meaningfully consent, and sexual content of any kind involving a real person's voice without their consent.
- Pornographic or sexually explicit material, or content that depicts extreme violence.
- Spreading false or deceptive information presented as real, such as a fabricated statement by a public figure.
- Anything unlawful where you are or where the audio is published.
- Attacking or overloading the website, scraping it at a volume that harms others, or using a Commercial License you do not hold.
Consent and proof
You are responsible for holding the voice owner's permission and for being able to show it if asked. For commercial work, keep a signed release for each voice you clone. Labelling synthetic audio as synthetic, where listeners could otherwise be misled, is expected and in some places required by law.
Businesses we do not serve
We do not sell VoiceStudio for, or accept payment connected with, any activity banned or restricted by our payment providers (Razorpay, Zoho Payments and PayU), including illegal goods and services, adult content, deceptive or high-pressure selling, and pyramid or get-rich-quick schemes.
Reporting abuse
Write to privacy@voicestudio.sh. Say what you found, where, and when, and include a link or the audio if you have it. If it is your own voice that was cloned, say so; we may ask for something that shows it is you.
We acknowledge a report within two business days. If there is an immediate risk to a person, contact the police or your local authority first.
What we do about it
The desktop app runs on your machine, so we cannot see or stop what you generate locally. What we control is what we provide: we can refuse a purchase, revoke a Commercial License, disable a preview, or block abusive traffic. Depending on the case we may warn, suspend or revoke without notice, and we may pass details to the authorities where the law requires or allows it.
A license revoked for breaking these rules is not refundable. See refunds and the terms.
