Where PromptVO stands on AI: no voice cloning, no exceptions

If you narrate audiobooks for a living, you have probably felt the new worry in the back of your mind: you are handing a piece of software an unpublished manuscript and hours of your own voice. What stops it from learning to sound like you, then selling that voice to someone who never has to hire you again?

It is a fair question, and you deserve a direct answer. So here is exactly where PromptVO stands.

What we never do

We do not clone your voice. We do not feed your recordings to voice-cloning or generative voice models, and we never build a synthetic version of you. We do not train generative text or language models on your manuscripts. Your book is the author's intellectual property and your voice is your livelihood, and neither one becomes training data for a model that could replace either of you.

What our AI actually does

PromptVO does use machine learning, but the functional kind: models that read and check, not models that generate. When you narrate, the teleprompter follows your voice and flags a skipped, added, or swapped word the moment you read it. After you record, proofing listens to your finished audio and surfaces the misreads and silences that slipped past. These are tools that listen and compare against the book in front of you. None of them create a voice or write text, and none of them need to imitate you to do their job.

The pledge we signed

Saying all of this is easy. So we backed it with a public commitment. PromptVO is a signatory of the NAVA fAIr Voices Pledge, the standard set by the National Association of Voice Actors for how companies should handle AI and a performer's voice. It rests on a few plain principles:

• Consent: your voice is used only the way you agree to.
• Control: you keep authority over work made with your voice.
• Compensation: fair pay for any licensed use of a voice.
• Security: real safeguards against unauthorized access to voice files.
• Training: terms of service that prohibit training synthetic voice models on a user's work without permission.

You can read the full pledge and the list of companies who signed it on NAVA's site. We are on it as PromptVO LLC.

What this means for your files

Your manuscript powers your session and nothing else. Your audio is yours. We run our own models where we can and sign zero-retention agreements with the providers we do use, so your work is not shipped around, sold, or stored to mine later. The details are in our privacy policy and terms of service, including the specific clauses that put the no-cloning and no-generative-training promises in writing.

The whole reason PromptVO exists is to help you finish a clean take faster, not to learn how to replace you. If misreads are what slow your sessions down, here is how narrators avoid them. Your voice stays yours. You can try PromptVO free on your first book.
