What is this tool?
Creators, course makers and marketers who need narration in several languages can script, voice and export in one browser studio, and developers can call the same voices through the API. Budget by voice hours: the paid plans cover roughly 2, 5 or 25 hours of generation a month, and generation stops at the limit until the next cycle or a credit top-up. Commercial rights are stated for paid plans only, and refunds are narrow.

Listnr Studio runs in the browser, with sign-in at voices.listnr.ai by email or Google. A script is written or imported, split into scenes, cast with voices and tuned with style prompts and pauses before the audio is exported; the same voices are reachable through the REST API with a key created in Studio.
Listnr's free plan starts with 1,000 credits and asks for no card; elsewhere on its site Listnr describes the same offer as a free trial with 1,000 words. Paid plans renew monthly or yearly, and yearly billing charges ten months up front, which the pricing page presents as two months free. Upgrades apply at once; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the paid period, after which the account returns to the free tier. The pricing FAQ says partial months and used quota are generally not refunded; the terms add a discretionary full refund within 7 days of a first purchase if usage stays under 1,000 words or 5 minutes of audio, a 14-day withdrawal right for EU and UK consumers, and no refunds on lifetime-deal purchases.
Under the terms (Listnr Software Private Limited, Indian law) you keep the rights in your uploads, and Listnr assigns you whatever rights it holds in generated audio without promising that the output is unique or non-infringing; you grant Listnr a licence to process uploads to provide and improve the service. The pricing FAQ says every paid plan includes commercial rights, including monetised YouTube videos, ads and audiobooks. The privacy policy treats voice samples as biometric data and asks for explicit consent before training models on them, with a setting that excludes your data from training; raw uploads are kept for 30 days and generated audio for 90 by default, data is hosted mainly in the US and Germany, and generated audio carries an inaudible watermark that helps detect synthetic speech.
Is this right for you?
Quick fit check against how you actually work.
Choose this if
- You produce narration or voiceovers in several languages and want a different voice for each speaker within one script
- You will publish the audio commercially, in monetised YouTube videos, ads or audiobooks, and are buying a paid plan, where commercial rights are stated
- You want to clone a consenting speaker's voice and reuse it across projects or through the API
- You are adding speech to your own product and want a REST API that returns MP3 or WAV
Consider alternatives if
- You need more than about 25 hours of generated voice a month, beyond the Agency allowance, without negotiating a custom deal
- You want to use free-plan audio commercially; the pricing page states commercial rights for the paid plans only
- You expect to be able to get your money back after trying a paid plan: the FAQ rules out refunds for partial months and used quota, and the terms' first-purchase refund applies only under very light use
- Your audio must carry no embedded marker; Listnr adds an inaudible watermark to generated speech
Key features
What you can actually do with this tool.
Scripts to voiceover
Write or import a script, choose voices from a large multilingual library with many accents, and export the finished audio.
Multi-speaker scenes and delivery control
A script splits into scenes with a different voice per speaker; style prompts and pauses steer delivery, though the available controls vary by voice.
Voice cloning with consent
A voice is cloned from a short approved recording, and the terms require the speaker's verifiable consent. The API documentation says cloned and 'Ultra Premium' voices are for subscribers.
Translation and podcast studio
Text can be translated across languages, and a podcast studio creates and publishes audio episodes.
Text-to-speech API
A REST API, authorised with a key created in Listnr Studio, returns MP3 or WAV audio; its public documentation on GitHub also ships an MCP configuration. API use needs an account with credit.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this tool, answered.
Can I use free-plan audio commercially?
Listnr states commercial rights, including monetised YouTube videos, ads and audiobooks, for its paid plans only; the pricing page does not state them for the Free plan, whose 1,000 credits are a one-off starting amount with limited downloads and exports.
How much audio does a paid Listnr plan cover?
Individual includes 20,000 credits a month (about 2 hours of voice), Solo 50,000 (about 5 hours) and Agency 250,000 (about 25 hours). When credits run out, generation stops until the next billing cycle unless you buy extra credits or upgrade.
Does Listnr train its models on my voice?
The privacy policy says Listnr asks for explicit consent before training on voice samples, which it treats as biometric data, and a settings toggle excludes your data from training.
Can I clone someone else's voice?
Only with that speaker's verifiable consent, which the terms require.
