Getting Started with Vois: Your Complete Setup Guide

You have a script, an audience, and no appetite for stitching together a separate generator, editor, mastering tool, and export utility. Vois puts those steps in one desktop studio, so your script and audio stay on your machine while you move from first read to finished file.

Start with a short project. You will learn the workflow, hear how a voice holds up in context, and leave with an export you can actually use. No production background required.

Download and install Vois

Download the installer for your operating system from the Vois download page. Vois runs locally, so the app includes what it needs to generate audio instead of sending every script to a remote service.

On Mac

1. Open the downloaded installer and drag Vois into Applications.
2. Launch Vois from Applications.
3. If macOS shows a security prompt for a newly downloaded app, review the app name and source, then use the option macOS provides to open it.

On Windows

1. Run the installer you downloaded from Vois.
2. If Windows asks you to confirm the download, check the installer name and source before continuing.
3. Follow the installer steps, then launch Vois from the Start menu.

Register for the trial or activate your purchase

On first launch, choose Try it Free and enter your email, or activate the license from your purchase email. Free registration creates a real license, emails its key to you, and activates it automatically on this computer.

1. Choose Try it Free, enter your email, and complete the requested verification, or open your purchase email.
2. If you bought a plan, enter the license key exactly as provided.
3. Confirm that Vois shows the free or paid plan as active.
4. Generate one representative section before you plan a full season, book, or course.

The free trial lasts 7 days and allows 10 generations per day in 1 project. Voice cloning, Omni, and Voice Design stay locked. Free exports require a purchased export credit; Subscriber and Pro include unlimited export.

Know the parts of the studio that matter

Projects keep episodes, chapters, and related assets together. The editor is where you turn a script into speaker-assigned audio. Voices lets you browse, preview, favorite, and, when appropriate, clone voices. The timeline is where reviewed clips become a coherent recording. Settings holds access and export preferences.

That layout matters because the work stays connected. You can move from a line that needs a pronunciation correction to a new render and then to a final export without moving files through unrelated tools.

Create a first project

Click New Project and choose the format closest to your work. A podcast project suits a host and guest; an audiobook project keeps chapters orderly; YouTube and documentary projects keep narration organized. Give the project a useful name, then create one short episode or section.

For a first run, use a short two-speaker script. The labels below are dialogue examples, not instructions to run in a terminal:

HOST: Welcome to the show! Today we're exploring how AI voices
actually work, and why a local production workflow matters.

CO-HOST: I've been testing ideas all week. The right pacing and voice
choice make a bigger difference than any shortcut.

HOST: Let's get into it.

Cast voices against the real script

Click each speaker label to open voice assignment. Filter the voice library for a warm host, a clear explainer, or a contrasting co-host, then preview candidates using the actual opening you plan to publish.

Do not choose from a five-second demo alone. Listen for how the voice handles names, sentence length, and transitions between speakers. Once a pair sounds clear together, assign it and keep those choices with the project.

Generate, review, and refine

Click Generate once the script and casting are ready. Vois renders the selected script locally, then gives you playback in the same project so you can judge the delivery before exporting it.

Treat the first render as a review candidate. Listen to the full section and make fixes at the source:

• Adjust speed where the delivery needs more energy or room to breathe.
• Use the pronunciation tools for recurring terms, then listen to each correction in its full sentence.
• Reassign a speaker and regenerate only the section that needs a new casting choice.
• Use the timeline to arrange reviewed clips, refine timing, and shape the final mix.

Export the version you approved

When the script, voices, and playback have passed your review, choose the format and delivery preset that match the destination, then play the finished file once before publishing. Subscriber and Pro plans include unlimited export. On the free tier, each export requires one available export credit.

Take the next workflow step

Your first project gives you a reusable pattern: draft, cast, generate, listen, refine, and export. Build on it with speed and pacing techniques, multi-speaker podcast production, audiobook narration, YouTube voiceover workflows, or documentary narration.

Explore the Vois voice library and Get started when you are ready to make the next script easier to produce. The studio is most useful once it becomes the place where your script turns into audio you are willing to publish.
