Questions people ask
Does Elmren Voice upload my files to the cloud?
No. Text, recordings, cloned voices, and generated audio all stay on your Mac. Only the one-time engine/voice pack download and Payhip license activation use the network.
How does voice cloning work?
You record a short, clean 6-10 second sample and Elmren saves it as a reusable voice for future projects. For best quality, the sample should start cleanly at a sentence boundary with an exact transcript.
What do I get for the $39.99 price?
You get local generation, voice cloning, Script Mode with multiple speakers, and all export formats (audio, M4B, HTML, video) as a one-time payment with no subscription.
Which Mac do I need to run Elmren Voice?
Any Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 13 or later, since the on-device engine is Apple silicon only. One license covers one Mac, and a Windows version is in development.
Is there a trial before I buy?
Yes, the app includes a trial of 120 synthesis minutes within 7 days of first run, with no account or payment method required; after that it becomes read-only until purchased.
