Clone Your Voice in 10 Seconds, Free & Offline (Lyrebird)
Lyrebird is a free, offline desktop app that wraps Resemble AI's open-source Chatterbox TTS model. It clones a voice from a 10-second recording, supports multi-voice dialogue and sound tags, and can output WAV or FLAC in 23 languages. All processing stays on your PC with no accounts or telemetry, but it requires an NVIDIA GPU with about 6 GB VRAM and downloads 3 GB on first launch.
