Danaco Releases Local Open-Source AI Voice Generator for Mac

Summary

Danaco Voice Generator is a free, open-source application for producing voices and dialogue for AI video creation. It runs entirely on the user's local device, requires a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip and approximately 16 GB of storage, and is distributed under the GPL-3 license without a subscription requirement. Users can clone a character voice from a 3- to 30-second WAV, FLAC, or MP3 clip, and assign multiple sound profiles to a character for different emotions. The speech-to-speech feature uses a recorded performance to preserve the desired timing and pace while rendering it in the selected character voice through Seed-VC. For direct generation, users can enter text and create an audio file through Chatterbox LLM. The app stores recordings in a searchable library, automatically transcribes and names them, and allows unwanted tracks to be deleted. Its dialogue mixer combines several character voices in one session, supports timing adjustments, and exports either the complete dialogue or individual voice tracks as WAV files for AI video workflows.
