FAQs
Can I use the Forever-Free plan for developing commercial voice products?
Yes. Picovoice technology is available under each plan at different usage limits. As long as you’re within the Forever-Free Plan limits, you can use Picovoice to train voice models and deploy them, even commercially, for free.
Can I create custom wake words and voice commands or fine-tune speech-to-text models even with the Forever-Free plan?
Yes. You can use pre-trained AI models or customize and fine-tune them on the Picovoice Console. Picovoice Console is a no-code platform that enables developers to train and fine-tune voice AI models instantly.

Enterprise Support Add-on: Ideal for Forever-Free Plan users who need direct access to the Picovoice team to get dedicated support.

How does Picovoice use end-user data?
Picovoice is private by design. Picovoice technology processes voice data locally on the platform of your choice without sending them to a 3rd party cloud, meaning no tracking, collecting, or storing end-user data.
Why do I need internet connectivity if you process voice data offline?
Picovoice uses AccessKey, hence internet connectivity, to be able to offer its services according to your plan limits. Picovoice engines call home servers to validate the AccessKey and check your plan limits.
