A few updates from us 👋

Hi everyone! Quick update on what we've shipped and what's coming.

🇩🇪 "Where are the German voices?"

This one hurt a little — a few of you couldn't find our non-English voices, and some even refunded because of it. So let me say it clearly: we DO have native German voices (and native voices in many other languages too). They were there all along, just hard to find. 😅

👉 Go to https://app.vocallab.ai/library and sort/filter by language — you'll see every voice we have in that language. Please give them a try before deciding!

🔧 API & MCP fixes

The list voices API endpoint now returns all your voices — including the default ones, not just your own. ✅

We made installing MCP into Claude much easier. 🤖

🚀 Coming Monday (27 Jul 2026)

Big audiobook improvements 📚 (still in beta, but a real step up)

Speech-to-Text (STT) 🎙️

🙏 Thank you

Honestly — the questions you've been asking are what pushed us to ship all of this. You found the gaps faster than we did. Special thanks to this community, you're the best. 💙

We read every request and suggestion, and we're doing our best to bring you more joy and a better experience in VocalLab. Keep them coming!

Hey Sumo-lings,

Two updates to voice cloning this week 👇

1) New "Other" language option

Until now, cloning was limited to our 15 core languages. We just added an "Other" option to the language picker — pick it and the engine auto-detects the language straight from your audio sample.

This unlocks cloning in 90+ additional experimental languages (200+ when you count regional locales)

Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Armenian, Assamese, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cantonese, Catalan, Cebuano, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Eastern Yiddish, Egyptian Arabic, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Galician, Garhwali, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gulf Arabic, Haitian Creole, Hijazi Arabic, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Javanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Konkani, Lao, Latvian, Libyan Arabic, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Maithili, Malagasy, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Mongolian, Najdi Arabic, Nepali, Northern Uzbek, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Odia, Omani Arabic, Pashto, Persian, Piedmontese, Punjabi, Romanian, Serbian, Sindhi, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tunisian Arabic, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Võro, Welsh.

One honest note: these experimental languages are a research preview. Quality is already good, but it can be a little less consistent than our 15 core languages. Give it a try and let us know how it sounds for yours.

2) Dutch fix

Dutch was supported by the model but wasn't showing up as a selectable option in the Studio app — a gap on our side. It's now live in the language list alongside the other core languages. If you clone in Dutch, you're all set.

As always, keep the feedback coming — a lot of what we ship comes straight from your requests.

— The VocalLab team

Hi, Sumo community! 👋

We’re excited to introduce VocalLab, an AI-powered platform designed to help creators, marketers, educators, and businesses turn text content into natural, expressive speech.

Our goal is simple: to make professional voiceover production faster, easier, and more flexible, eliminating the high costs and complexities associated with traditional audio creation.

With VocalLab, you can create voiceovers for:

🎥 YouTube videos and Shorts

🎙️ Podcasts and audiobooks

📚 Training and educational materials

📢 Ads, product demos, and social media content

💼 Business presentations and internal corporate materials

You can also fine-tune the voice’s sound by adjusting emotions, pace, tone, and delivery style, ensuring the audio sounds natural, free from any "robotic" quality.

We are a small, ambitious team based in Tel Aviv and the US.

We’re launching on AppSumo because we want to grow VocalLab alongside the community. Your feedback, feature suggestions, and honest opinions will help us determine our next steps.

We’ve put together a special offer for you, and we’d love for you to try VocalLab, create something great, and share your thoughts with us.

Welcome to VocalLab! We’re thrilled to have you here! 🚀
