Become a sponsor to James
Welcome! Support Draft to Take
Hi, I'm James — the creator of Draft to Take.
I’m building a local-first AI script-to-audio production studio that lets creators turn scripts into full multi-speaker scenes with emotion, voice consistency, and timeline mixing — all running privately on their own machine.
What is Draft to Take?
Draft to Take is a local alternative to cloud tools like ElevenLabs. It gives you:
A powerful Script Canvas for writing and structuring scenes
Voice Studio for creating and reusing consistent character voices
A full Timeline Editor to review takes, add SFX/ambience/music, and export finished mixes
Everything runs 100% locally (Docker + NVIDIA GPU)
Why I Need Your Support
Developing and maintaining this project takes a huge amount of time and focus.
I’m a stay-at-home father looking after two children with disabilities while also supporting my partner with health issues. Every sponsorship helps me dedicate more time to improving Draft to Take instead of worrying about finances.
Your support allows me to:
Keep pushing new features and improvements
Make the app easier to use (Windows installer coming soon!)
Continue building a truly powerful local creative tool
Whether it’s $5 or $50 a month — every sponsor makes a real difference.
Thank you for believing in independent, local-first creative tools.
It means a lot.

Reaching this initial goal of 5 monthly sponsors would be a significant milestone. This level of support will allow me to: Dedicate consistent, focused research and development time to IndexTTS-Workflow-Studio. There are many features and improvements I'm excited to work on, and this will help make that dedicated time a reality. Accelerate progress on new functionalities, bug fixes, and overall improvements to make the tool even more powerful and user-friendly for everyone. Better sustain my work on this open-source project. As a stay-at-home father caring for my two children with disabilities , your sponsorship provides vital stability. It helps me carve out the necessary time and resources
