VoiceStudio Hits No. 3 on GitHub Daily Trending: Open-Source, Fully Local ElevenLabs Alternative

What happened

Third on the GitHub daily trending board updated October 18 (covering the full October 17 UTC day) is VoiceStudio by debpalash, with +2,132 stars in one day. The project calls itself an open-source, fully-local ElevenLabs alternative: voice cloning, voice design, video dubbing, dictation, transcription, and audiobook creation, in 646 languages. The repository is public under AGPL-3.0 and holds about 75,289 stars.

According to the repo README, the default voice engine is k2-fsa/OmniVoice, with an Electron desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux; hardware support covers CUDA and Apple Silicon acceleration, and it also runs on CPU alone (slower); a Local API and MCP interface are provided for agents to call.

The README includes a responsible-use section: AGPL-3.0 covers the application itself, while model weights and generated-output rights are separate; cloning a voice requires permission.
