voice cloning consent

Consent is required to create any cloned voice, with no exceptions.

Consent is required on every clone
Consent JSON must contain fullName and email
No create path skips consent
Cloning available on paid plans, not Free

definition

Consent and safety in voice cloning are enforced at the API, not left to policy. Creating a voice on the Speechify Build API requires a consent record containing the speaker’s full name and email. The requirement is structural: there is no create path that omits it, so every cloned voice is authorized by design.

The consent field on the create call is a JSON string that must contain fullName and email. It is required, so a create request without a valid consent record does not produce a voice. This makes consent a precondition of cloning rather than a checkbox after the fact.

access-control

Cloning is available on the paid plans, Starter, Pro, Scale, and Enterprise, and is not included on Free. A Free-tier attempt returns a 402 with the code voice_cloning_not_included, so the capability is gated to accounts that have it.

in-practice

Whether you clone your own voice, an author’s, or a performer’s, the flow captures consent as part of creation. See the ethics page for the wider principles and the voice cloning API for the field details.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is consent required to clone a voice?

Yes, always. Creating a voice on the Speechify Build API requires a consent record, and that record must contain the speaker's full name and email. There is no create path that skips it, so every cloned voice is created with explicit authorization by design.

What does the consent record contain?

The consent field is a JSON string that must include the speaker's fullName and email. It is a required field on the create call, so the API rejects a clone attempt without it.

Who can use voice cloning?

Cloning is available on the paid plans, Starter, Pro, Scale, and Enterprise, and is not included on Free. A Free-tier attempt returns a 402 with voice_cloning_not_included.
