Oxid Voice
Speech datasets, one line at a time.
A Mac recorder for TTS and ASR training data. Read the line, press one key, and every take is named, logged and counted against what the script still needs.

Feature 01
Script-driven, not timeline-driven.
The prompter shows the next line in any script macOS can draw. Takes are named, slated and logged for you, and coverage is tracked per line, intonation and style, so you always know what is left.
Feature 02
Files that survive the session.
Takes are Broadcast WAV with bext and iXML metadata, written so a crash still leaves a playable file. A session can't be closed until every take has two copies verified against its SHA-256 hash.
Feature 03
Ready for training.
Export to LJSpeech, a Hugging Face-style JSONL manifest or JSON, with the WAVs alongside. Rejected takes are left out, and a provenance manifest records what the corpus may be used for.

No. You type transcripts and the app checks them against the script with one key. It does no speech recognition.
What is free?
Recording, the prompter, takes, metering, the waveform editor, and raw export of every WAV with a CSV take log, for ever. Pro adds the room check, coverage, transcript checking, training-ready export, verified backup, provenance, effects, spectral editing and the mixer.
Where are my recordings stored?
On your Mac. There is no account and no sync service; the app goes online only for update and licence checks.
Is it a subscription?
No. Pro is $49 once, for one Mac.
