    "why": "Working with voice usually starts by uploading the original recording to somebody else's service. voicestudio keeps cloning, dubbing, dictation, transcription and audiobook production on the machine in front of you, so the audio never leaves it. The repository states coverage of 646 languages; it is written in Python and published under AGPL-3.0. It is self-hosted, so the runtime environment is yours to prepare.",
