## Choose when

### Choose OmniVoice-Studio if…

- License: OmniVoice-Studio is Other, dia is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to OmniVoice-Studio: asr, dubbing-ai, local-ai, speech-recognition.
- If you need a flexible solution that supports various operating systems including Apple Silicon and Linux with ROCm support for AMD GPUs under specific conditions.

### Choose dia if…

- Tags unique to dia: dialogue-generation.
- When you require precise control over voice and script in the creation of highly realistic dialogues

## When NOT to use OmniVoice-Studio

- Avoid if you are on an Intel-based macOS system, as the Python backend no longer supports this architecture and can only point to a remote backend.
- Do not use if your GPU has less than 8 GB of VRAM and performance is critical -- TTS tasks will be offloaded onto the CPU, which may slow down operations.

## When NOT to use dia

- If your setup lacks a GPU, as Dia has not yet added CPU support
- In scenarios where immediate real-time performance is critical since the first run could be longer due to additional codec downloads
