Elmren Voice is a local text-to-speech studio for macOS that lets you convert text, documents, and multi-speaker scripts into natural speech. The app includes 64 built-in voices and the ability to clone a voice from an 8-second recording for reuse across projects. All speech synthesis happens locally on your Mac with no cloud uploads or subscriptions required. The app supports importing TXT, MD, EPUB, PDF, DOCX, SRT, VTT, and HTML files, plus pasted text. You can export finished work as audio files, M4B chapter audiobooks, self-contained follow-along HTML pages with word-level highlighting, or MP4 video. Script Mode lets you bring character-based scripts and assign voices to multiple speakers automatically or by hand.

Shopper questions

Do my files ever leave my Mac?

No. Your text, recordings, cloned voices, and generated audio stay on your Mac — nothing is uploaded to our servers. The network is used in exactly two cases: the one-time voice-pack download at first setup, and Payhip license activation and verification.

How does voice cloning work?

Record one short, clean sample of your own voice or a voice you're authorized to use — 6 to 10 seconds — that starts at a sentence boundary, with a transcript that matches every word. The app checks the recording before it becomes a voice, and a saved voice is reusable across all your projects.

What does the $39.99 include?

Everything: unlimited generation on your Mac after purchase, local voice cloning, Script Mode with auto-suggested speaker voices, and all exports — audio, M4B chapter audiobook, follow-along HTML, MP4 karaoke video. One payment, no subscription.

Which Mac do I need?

Any Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 13 or later. One license covers one Mac. A Windows version is in development.

What if it's not for me?

Every purchase is covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Write to hello@elmren.com within 7 days and we refund you via Payhip — no forms, no questions about why.
