-The Voice workspace starts with three tabs: **From audio** for cloning, **By design** for creating a voice, and **Convert** for speech-to-speech conversion. Each tab displays its own workflow, with Synthesize Audio or Convert pinned below the scrolling form. The top-bar **Engines** panel combines engine selection, loaded models, and unload/flush controls; Ctrl/Cmd+E opens it. The searchable language picker shares Dubbing’s flags and language list layout, selects one output language, and retains Auto and the full cloning catalogue. Language options flow into multiple columns when space allows. Expand **Workspaces** in the sidebar to reveal navigation labels; Escape collapses it.
+Start with **VoiceStudio** (default, powered by k2-fsa/OmniVoice), or choose another engine.
-Dubbing starts with file upload or URL import and nearby language choices. Its **Projects** panel lists previous dubs so they can be reopened by clicking anywhere on a card; action buttons operate independently. Advanced import options include captions and optional YouTube sign-in. Dubbing places playback controls over the video with background blur and combines the waveform and timed transcript in one compact editing surface. Drag the zoomed waveform left or right to pan; click to seek. Translation language and ISO-code controls stay synchronized; Auto clears any previous language code and dialect. Transcript items group editable text, timing and status, and voice controls into three readable rows that wrap with the panel width. Output Options stays compact with the active settings shown in its summary; expand it to change output, timing, or voice matching. Transcript, glossary, and paste controls share a toolbar above the segment editor. Project details, workflow steps, and Generate/Verify/Export actions use an unfilled header.
+Local workflows run on your hardware. Remote services are optional; usage analytics requires consent.
-The Audiobook Script editor fills the available workspace beneath its markup toolbar; Voices and Book settings stay in their own tabs.

-Output settings use aligned rows; review status appears before the collapsible transcript and glossary. Glossary terms have labelled entry fields and an explicit edit action. Launchpad arranges recent files and saved voices side by side when space allows, with responsive card grids and visible Open actions.
+## Get started
-The casting board shows icon-based voice cards and searchable selectors for each speaker. Drag a card onto a speaker or choose a voice from that speaker’s menu.
+Download from [Releases](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio/releases/latest), then follow your platform guide:
-
+**[macOS](docs/install/macos.md) · [Windows](docs/install/windows.md) · [Linux](docs/install/linux.md) · [Docker](docs/install/docker.md)**
-## Install
+Open **Voice cloning**, choose a voice or add a clean reference recording, enter your text, and generate. Install the required model when prompted. Hardware needs vary by engine; see [performance](docs/performance.md).
-Download a package from the [latest release](https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio/releases/latest), then follow the platform guide.
-
-| Platform | Package | Guide |
-|---|---|---|
-| macOS 13.3+ | Apple Silicon DMG | [Install on macOS](docs/install/macos.md) |
-| Windows 10/11 | x64 MSI; choose the current-user build when listed to install without admin access | [Install on Windows](docs/install/windows.md#install-pre-built-msi) |
-| Linux | AppImage, x86_64 with glibc 2.39+ | [Install on Linux](docs/install/linux.md) |
-| Docker | Linux/AMD64 images; CUDA, ROCm, CPU, and worker-only GPU profiles | [Run with Docker](docs/install/docker.md) |
-
-First launch creates a managed Python environment and downloads the default model. Later launches reuse both.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> On macOS, first launch needs a one-time right-click, then **Open** approval. Intel Macs cannot run the local Python backend; use a [remote backend](docs/install/macos.md) instead.
-
-### Quick Docker run
-
-The published images are **`linux/amd64` only**. On Apple Silicon, use the
-[native macOS app](docs/install/macos.md) for GPU acceleration. ARM64 hosts
-should read the [architecture requirements](docs/install/docker.md#architecture)
-before pulling an image.
-
-```bash
-docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:3900:3900 -v omnivoice-data:/app/omnivoice_data --name voicestudio palashdeb/omnivoice-studio:stable
-```
-
-### First voice
-
-1. Launch VoiceStudio and open **Voice Cloning**.
-2. Add a clean voice sample. Three seconds works; 5 to 15 seconds usually gives a better prompt.
-3. Enter text, choose a language, then select **Generate**.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> **Try without installing:** Run VoiceStudio in the cloud via the [Google Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/debpalash/VoiceStudio/blob/main/notebooks/OmniVoice_Studio_Colab.ipynb). Explore audio quality comparisons in [benchmarks](docs/benchmarks.md) and prompt design tips in [expressive speech](docs/expressive-speech.md).

-
-### Run from source
-
-Install the [development prerequisites](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#development-setup) (Node 20+/Bun and Python 3.11+), then:
+**Run the Electron preview from source:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/debpalash/VoiceStudio.git
cd VoiceStudio
bun install
-bun run desktop
+cd electron
+bun run dev
```
-The desktop launcher configures Python dependencies on first run via `uv` automatically. Use `bun run dev` for the browser UI. See [Contributing](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) for services, tests, and platform packages.
-
-### If setup fails
-
-- Run **Settings → About → Run self-check** or `uv run python backend/main.py --diagnose --deep`.
-- Check [install troubleshooting](docs/install/troubleshooting.md).
-- Save a scrubbed diagnostic bundle from the app when opening an issue.
-- For slow generation, compare [measured benchmarks](docs/benchmarks.md) and [performance settings](docs/performance.md).

-## Comparison
-
-VoiceStudio trades managed cloud compute for local control. This is the practical difference:
-
-| | **VoiceStudio** | **Typical hosted voice service** |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Best fit** | Private, offline, self-hosted, or high-volume work | Fast setup without local model management |
-| **Data path** | Local by default; remote features are opt-in | Audio and text are processed by the provider |
-| **Cost model** | Free software; you supply the hardware | Subscription, credits, or metered API use |
-| **Setup** | Install the app and model weights | Create an account and use the web app or API |
-| **Performance** | Depends on your engine and hardware | Provider manages compute and scaling |
-| **Offline use** | Yes, after required models are installed | Usually requires a network connection |
-| **Customization** | Source, engines, models, API, and routing are open | Limited to provider options |
-| **Maintenance** | You manage updates, disk, and compute | Provider manages infrastructure |
-
-
-
-## Requirements
-
-Requirements vary by engine. These values cover the default local workflow.
-
-| | **Minimum** | **Recommended** |
-|---|---|---|
-| **OS** | Windows 10 x64 · macOS 13.3 Apple Silicon · Linux x86_64 with glibc 2.39+ | Current supported OS release |
-| **RAM** | 8 GB | 16 GB+ |
-| **Disk** | 10 GB free | 20 GB+ SSD |
-| **GPU** | Optional; CPU mode is supported | NVIDIA CUDA or Apple Silicon |
-| **VRAM** | 4 GB when using a GPU | 8 GB+; large optional engines need more |
-| **Python from source** | 3.11+ | 3.11 or 3.12 |
-
-ROCm is Linux-only and opt-in. Windows AMD/Ryzen AI uses CPU. Systems with limited VRAM offload work to CPU when required. See [performance](docs/performance.md), [benchmarks](docs/benchmarks.md), and [engine disk usage](docs/engines/disk-usage.md).

-
-### Network boundary
-
-- The desktop talks to a loopback-only backend on `localhost:3900`.
-- Loopback API calls need no server key. Remote access requires a share PIN or API key.
-- Remote workers and OpenAI-compatible ASR are opt-in. Loopback ASR may use HTTP and keeps audio on the machine; non-loopback endpoints require HTTPS, and redirects are not followed.
-- Analytics is off until consent. If enabled, it sends allowlisted, content-free usage metadata. It never sends text, audio, file names, or projects.
-
-
-
-## Local speech platform and OpenAI-compatible API
-
-Point an OpenAI-compatible audio client at the local backend:
-
-```diff
-- base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1"
-+ base_url="http://localhost:3900/v1"
-```
-
-| Endpoint | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `POST /v1/audio/speech` | TTS to `mp3`, `opus`, `aac`, `flac`, `wav`, or `pcm`; select a profile with `voice` and an engine with `model` |
-| `POST /v1/audio/transcriptions` | STT to `json`, `text`, `verbose_json`, `srt`, or `vtt` |
-| `WS /v1/audio/transcriptions/stream` | Live PCM/WebM transcription with partial, utterance, and session-final events |
-| `GET /.well-known/voicestudio-speech` | Discover HTTP, WebSocket, MCP, and native dictation-control transports |
-| `GET /v1/audio/voices` | List local voice profiles and engines |
-
-```python
-from openai import OpenAI
-
-client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:3900/v1", api_key="local")
-
-with client.audio.speech.with_streaming_response.create(
- model="tts-1",
- voice="",
- input="Made on my own hardware.",
- response_format="wav",
-) as response:
- response.stream_to_file("speech.wav")
-```
-
-```bash
-# Quick test via cURL
-curl http://localhost:3900/v1/audio/speech \
- -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
- -d '{"model": "tts-1", "input": "Made on my own hardware.", "voice": "default", "response_format": "wav"}' \
- --output speech.wav
-```
-
-The bundled Rust control sidecar lets Herdr, coding agents, VS Code, desktop apps,
-and TUIs trigger the system-wide dictation flow or reuse its native text
-insertion. See the [speech platform guide](docs/speech-platform.md). The full API
-reference is in **Settings → OpenAPI Reference**. For LAN, Tailscale, or proxy
-access, read [API authentication](docs/api-auth.md) before exposing the backend.
-
-### Agent skills
-
-Install the VoiceStudio skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other [skills.sh](https://skills.sh)-compatible agents:
-
-```bash
-npx skills add debpalash/VoiceStudio
-```
-
-- `omnivoice`: synthesize speech and transcribe audio through local VoiceStudio.
-- `oss-maintainer`: the repository's open-source maintenance workflow.
-
-### Model Context Protocol (MCP)
-
-VoiceStudio mounts an MCP server at `http://localhost:3900/mcp` for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and AI agents:
-
-```json
-{
- "mcpServers": {
- "voicestudio": {
- "url": "http://localhost:3900/mcp"
- }
- }
-}
-```
-
-For clients requiring stdio transport, use the bundled local shim (`docs/mcp.json`):
-
-```json
-{
- "mcpServers": {
- "voicestudio": {
- "command": "python",
- "args": ["-m", "backend.mcp_shim"],
- "cwd": "/path/to/VoiceStudio"
- }
- }
-}
-```
-
-See the [MCP guide](docs/mcp.md) for tools (`generate_speech`, `clone_voice`, `transcribe`), file streaming modes, and client bindings.
-
-### Google Colab
-
-[](https://colab.research.google.com/github/debpalash/VoiceStudio/blob/main/notebooks/OmniVoice_Studio_Colab.ipynb)
-
-The [notebook](notebooks/OmniVoice_Studio_Colab.ipynb) runs the app and web UI on a Colab GPU. Colab is remote compute, so uploaded audio and project data do not remain local to your machine.

-## FAQ
+## Support VoiceStudio
-
-Does it work on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs?
+[Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/debpalash) · [PayPal](https://paypal.me/palashCoder) · [Sponsor the project](SPONSORS.md) · [Partnerships](mailto:partner@voicestudio.sh)
-Apple Silicon is supported with MPS and MLX options. Intel Macs cannot run the local backend because current PyTorch wheels are unavailable; they can connect to a remote backend. See [macOS installation](docs/install/macos.md).
-
+## License & responsible use
-
-How much VRAM do I need?
-
-A GPU is optional. Use 4 GB VRAM as the minimum for accelerated work and 8 GB+ for the default multi-stage workflow. Large optional engines can require 12 to 16 GB or more. Check the [benchmarks](docs/benchmarks.md) and engine guide.
-
-
-
-Why does a longer reference clip not always improve the clone?
-
-Cloning is zero-shot: the clip is a prompt, not training data. Use 5 to 15 seconds of one speaker, close to the microphone, without music, noise, or reverb. Match the tone and pace you want in the output. For training, see [data preparation](docs/data_preparation.md) and [training](docs/training.md).
-
-
-
-Can I use generated audio commercially?
-
-VoiceStudio's application license does not restrict generated audio, but it does not grant rights under a model's separate terms. The default OmniVoice repository labels its pretrained weights CC-BY-NC and includes a tokenizer under separate community terms. Review the selected model terms before commercial use.
-
-
-
-Does VoiceStudio collect data?
-
-Not unless you opt in. Analytics is off by default and skipping consent keeps it off. When enabled, the app sends allowlisted, content-free usage metadata. Text, audio, file names, voices, and projects are excluded. Change this at **Settings → Privacy**.
-
-
-
-How do I remove VoiceStudio and its data?
-
-Use `scripts/uninstall.sh` on macOS/Linux or `scripts\uninstall.ps1` on Windows. Both show a dry run before deletion. See the [uninstall guide](docs/install/uninstall.md) for every path.

-
-## Responsible use and safety
-
-VoiceStudio enables zero-shot voice cloning and speech generation on personal hardware. Please use it responsibly:
-- **Consent:** Only clone or synthesize voices with explicit permission from the speaker.
-- **Audio provenance:** VoiceStudio integrates [AudioSeal](https://github.com/facebookresearch/audioseal) imperceptible watermarking by default to detect and identify synthetic speech without altering sound quality.
-- **Local privacy:** For the default local workflow, audio recordings, transcripts, voices, and projects remain strictly on your local disk; data leaves your device only when you explicitly configure remote workers or external ASR endpoints.
-
-## License
-
-VoiceStudio is licensed under [AGPL-3.0](LICENSE). You may run it, modify it, and use it internally. The application license itself does not restrict selling generated audio, but downloaded model and tokenizer terms may. If you modify VoiceStudio and provide that modified version as a network service, AGPL requires you to offer the corresponding source under the same license. A commercial license for VoiceStudio-owned code is available for proprietary embedding; it does not relicense third-party models. Contact **VoiceStudio@palash.dev**. See [LICENSE-NOTICE.md](LICENSE-NOTICE.md) for the plain-language scope.
-
-Optional engines and downloaded models retain their own licenses. The bundled `omnivoice/` Python code is Apache-2.0 upstream; the default downloaded weights and audio tokenizer use separate terms.

+# README media
+
+Captured from the Electron renderer on Linux, September 16, 2026. These images show the development branch, not a claim about a published release. The browser capture runs the same renderer as Electron; native window decorations are excluded.
+
+Only the bundled demo voice appears. Personal profiles, history, and projects are filtered from the capture context, and API mutations are blocked. The normal app and its local storage are left alone.
+
+With the Electron development server running:
+
+```bash
+CHROMIUM_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium node scripts/capture-readme-electron.mjs
+```
+
+The script writes PNG screenshots here and prints the temporary WebM path. Convert that recording to the main GIF (replace `recording.webm` with that path):
+
+```bash
+ffmpeg -y -ss 1 -i recording.webm -vf 'fps=8,scale=1120:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=stats_mode=diff[p];[s1][p]paletteuse=dither=bayer:bayer_scale=3' -loop 0 docs/media/electron/voicestudio.gif
+```
+
+The README uses the GIF plus the cloning and dubbing screenshots. Design and model screenshots are captured as companion stills. The official logo and repository badges retain their existing assets.

+# Support page
+
+The support page puts the monthly development goal, donation amounts, and Ko-fi / PayPal links first. Selecting an amount carries it into PayPal; Ko-fi lets you choose the amount on its own page. No checkout opens until you choose a provider.
+
+Star and community links offer other ways to help. Sponsors remain visible. The Electron page uses the official VoiceStudio logo, a single donation panel, visible sponsor and Pro cards, and an icon grid for contact channels. No accordion hides those actions. Controls support keyboard navigation, and decorative interaction animations respect reduced-motion preferences.
+
+Workspace headers link to Support immediately before Search. A sponsor footer sits below each workspace content area, outside its scrolling editor and above the agent dock. It reads the shared sponsor roster, uses themed hover/focus tooltips, and opens sponsor links in the system browser. With an empty roster, one combined “Your logo here” booking tile demonstrates the placement and opens the sponsorship message form. It prepares a mailto draft to partner@voicestudio.sh in the default email app, or copies the address; it never sends email itself.
+
+The sponsor-bar remove control opens the Free vs Pro comparison on Support. The comparison lists the proposed Pro benefits: no telemetry, a hideable sponsor bar, a Pro badge, and advanced tools. Activation verification and the specific advanced-tool list are not configured; no Pro entitlement is inferred from donations or local preferences.
+
+Sponsor tiles form a left-aligned, horizontally scrolling row with 1px gaps. The rightmost combined logo-plus tile opens the booking form.
+
+Logo hover cards match their trigger tile width and grow vertically to fit their contents.
+
+The footer chevron opens a searchable sponsor catalog above the strip. Cards show logos, names, tiers, and destination links; a booking card opens the email form. The panel scrolls within 60% of the viewport. Escape or the close button collapses it and returns focus to the chevron.
+
+The expanded catalog is labeled Integrations. Entries from the sponsored roster display a Featured badge in their catalog card and hover card; the empty booking preview does not.
+
+Ten voice-AI company examples populate the catalog and compact strip using locally bundled official icons. They carry a Directory example label, not Featured. Capabilities and source links are recorded in [the directory notes](integration-directory.md).
