How to Use AI Voice Licensing Explained

Start for free — no credit card, no software to install.

  1. Confirm ownership

    Generated audio belongs to the account that created it, under the Terms of Service — no separate copyright transfer needed.
  2. Check the commercial-use terms

    Full commercial-use rights with no attribution are included automatically on Lite, Pro and Max.
  3. Match the licence to the use

    For radio, television or on-air work, confirm the Max plan — it's the tier that carries the Broadcast and extended commercial licence.
  4. Read the limits

    The Terms exclude reselling the Service, third-party access beyond the plan, bulk resale of generated audio, and building a competing product.

About this tool

Everything you need to know about AI Voice Licensing Explained

AI voice licensing breaks into three questions procurement usually asks: who owns the generated audio, what the commercial-use terms cover, and which plan includes the Broadcast and extended commercial licence. Ownership is settled under the Terms of Service — the account that generates the audio owns it — and full commercial-use rights with no attribution ship on every paid plan. The Broadcast and extended commercial licence, covering radio, television and on-air use, sits under Max specifically; Free, Lite and Pro do not include it. The Terms also draw a line on what isn't covered: reselling or sublicensing the Service itself, giving third parties access beyond the plan, commercial resale of generated audio at scale, or using the output to build a competing product.

FAQ

AI Voice Licensing Explained — FAQ

Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai

Which plan includes the Broadcast and extended commercial licence?

Max. Free, Lite and Pro carry standard commercial-use rights but not the broadcast licence for radio, television and on-air work.

Do we own the audio we generate?

Yes — under the Terms of Service, the generating account owns the audio, with full commercial-use rights on every paid plan.

Can we resell access to the platform to our own clients?

No — the Terms don't permit reselling or sublicensing the Service itself, or providing access to it beyond what the plan allows.

Can we deliver finished audio to a paying client?

Yes — delivering finished, generated audio to a client is standard commercial use; reselling accounts or platform access is the line that isn't permitted.
