Castwright

Features

Every character, in their own voice.

Full-cast audiobooks — the ones that used to cost a studio and a budget — running on hardware you already own.

A full cast.

One narrator can't be everyone. The apprentice sounds thirteen; the swordsmith sounds seventy and a forge. Castwright reads your manuscript, detects every speaking character automatically, and assigns each a distinct voice — no manual tagging required.

Dozens of voice designs ship out of the box, and every cast member's voice can be swapped, refined, or replaced in seconds before generation begins.

Series-consistent.

Book two should sound like book one. Castwright remembers your cast — even when an author renames someone mid-series. The cross-book voice library links characters by identity, not just name, so a returning favourite carries the same voice across every instalment.

Open a sequel and Castwright will surface every prior voice assignment, flag newcomers, and let you approve the full cast in one screen before a single syllable is rendered.

Your own voice. In development

Read a bedtime story in your own voice, even when you're away — or let your kid be the hero. Voice cloning is in development for the next release: your voices, with your permission, will stay on your machine — nothing uploaded, the cloning model running locally alongside the synthesis engine.

Family voices, character personas, and custom designs will live in your private library and travel with your books — not with a vendor's server.

Yours to keep.

Rendered once, on hardware you own. No meter, no monthly fee, no server that can take your library away. Every chapter is written to disk as a standard audio file the moment it finishes — export to MP3, share a clip, or sideload to any player you like.

Castwright is free — and if it shut down tomorrow, your audiobooks wouldn't disappear.

Castwright listen view

On every screen in the house.

Castwright runs on your own machine — and its screen goes wherever you are. Open it from the sofa on a tablet, or from the kitchen on a phone: same library, same cast, same place in the book, over your own Wi-Fi.

No cloud in the middle — your own network is the only wire. For listening away from home, that's what the companion app is for.
