How voice cloning works in Windy Clone
Windy Clone is in early access. This page explains each step as the product is built today, and says plainly which steps are not open yet.
What a voice clone is
A voice clone, which we call a Voice Twin, is a computer voice made from recordings of one person speaking. It aims to sound like that person: their tone, their rhythm and the way they pause. How close it gets depends on the recordings used and on the voice provider that makes it.
Step 1: your recordings come from Windy Word
Windy Clone does not accept voice uploads yet. Your recordings come from Windy Word, the Windy app for voice typing and recording. Unless you turn on a cloud feature, Windy Word keeps the recordings you save on your own computer.
Step 2: see how much voice data you have
The Voice Legacy Dashboard in the Windy Clone app shows how much voice data you have and how close it is to what a provider asks for. If you use Clone Capture in Windy Word, Windy receives measurements of how many minutes of usable audio you have captured: counts, not the audio itself.
Step 3: choose a provider (not open yet)
The Clone Studio in the app lists voice providers side by side, so you can see what each one offers. Today every provider in the Clone Studio is marked Coming Soon. No provider is open for orders yet, so no voice clone can be ordered.
Step 4: you agree, and our team reviews the order (not open yet)
When ordering opens, a voice clone of you will be something you choose: it will be described to you before you choose it, and you will consent to it separately from accepting the Terms. When ordering opens, Windy Clone packages your recordings in the provider's format, and the Windy team reviews every order before anything is sent to a provider. During early access there is no charge.
Step 5: deleting your voice data
If you delete your Windy account, Windy Clone locks your voice data at once and erases it 30 days later, unless you undo the delete by signing in again before then. Recordings that Windy Word saved on your computer stay there until you delete them yourself.
