What happened and what to do
On February 15, 2025, Zonos announced an expressive TTS beta with voice cloning. The post presents Transformer and SSM-hybrid models under the Apache 2.0 license and a one-click local launcher for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
A company evaluating this technology can start by defining consent and rules for voice sample use, then test quality, performance, and security in its local environment. Implementation could include an internal interface or API, access controls, usage logging, and monitoring, without sending recordings to external services.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can assess the opportunity and risks of voice use, define privacy and operational requirements, and propose a local implementation with an API, controls, and monitoring. The scope can also include operating the solution.
