VoiceStudio

Risks & limits

Non-commercial models. model_licenses.json and model-inventory.md mark 4 records non-commercial, and their model cards read:

• k2-fsa/OmniVoice, the default engine named in the README: code under Apache 2.0, the pretrained model under CC-BY-NC because of training data such as Emilia, version not stated.
• Serveurperso/OmniVoice-GGUF, a record in the model catalogue: cc-by-nc-4.0.
• facebook/nllb-200-distilled-600M, a record in the model catalogue: cc-by-nc-4.0.
• mlx-community/Llama-OuteTTS-1.0-1B-4bit, a record in the model catalogue: cc-by-nc-sa-4.0; the upstream OuteAI card places the initial Llama 3.2 components under the Llama 3.2 Community License.

LICENSE-NOTICE adds that the OmniVoice audio_tokenizer carries separate Boson Higgs Audio 2 and Meta Llama community terms and that a VoiceStudio Commercial License replaces none of them.

Model licence clearance incomplete. model-inventory.md says Every production record has missing exact-file and/or terms evidence, and no record claims commercial clearance.

Bundled binaries. LICENSE-NOTICE says the locked PyAV 15.1.0 wheels bundle FFmpeg and x264 and x265 libraries with unresolved redistribution requirements.

Licensing model. The CLA allows contributions to be used in closed-source commercial editions, and the CHANGELOG says compute devices on other machines, workers and GPU sharing moved from the open-source app to VoiceStudio Pro.

Stable cadence. As of 2026-10-26 only prereleases have followed v0.5.6. Cloud has not launched, and the terms page says the hosted service may launch differently or not launch.

Differing statements, listed side by side:

• Commercial licence: LICENSE-NOTICE says what is paid is a commercial license for organizations that want to embed VoiceStudio in a closed-source or proprietary product or service without the AGPL-3.0 copyleft obligations, and the VoiceStudio Pro features; the Pro page sells Pro and Lifetime with a Commercial License and states Closed-source distribution and private hosting aren't in Pro or Lifetime.
• Network use: the site FAQ says the app goes online only when the user asks it to, to check for updates or download a model; the privacy page adds explicitly configured network-backed adapters; CHANGELOG 0.5.7 says a render that cannot fetch the AudioSeal watermark checkpoint retries the load after 10 minutes.
• Payments and law: the terms page says governing law is to be published before payments go live and that counsel sign-off comes before payment is enabled; the same page calls Pro and Lifetime real purchases, and the Pro page offers $99 and $299 checkouts.

Model licence records: the repository file model-inventory.md says model_licenses.json records 63 configured model repositories and seven unresolved asset families (as of 2026-10-26); the 4 non-commercial records are for OmniVoice, OmniVoice-GGUF, NLLB and Llama-OuteTTS; the same file says false does not mean every listed model forbids commercial use.
