Founding research pilot
Voice claims, permissions and provenance for the AI era.
SoundTitle is exploring a dynamic record for how a person claims a relationship to a voice, grants a specific use, withdraws it, and proves what happened over time. It is inspired by public registries, but it is not a government title system and does not decide legal ownership.
Public registration is paused while identity, privacy and abuse safeguards are implemented. The interface preview accepts no audio. Existing-record lookup is read-only and does not determine identity or purpose authorization.
In an AI system, a voice is not merely an audio file. The durable asset is the changing record of identity claims, permissions, restrictions, revocation, use and payment around it.
The proposed model
A dynamic record, not a one-time certificate
SoundTitle separates evidence, current permissions and technical voice material so each can change under its own rules.
01
Claim and assurance
Record who made a claim and the level of evidence behind it: self-declared, identity checked, live consent checked, agent authority reviewed, or institutionally attested.
02
Current permission state
Represent who may use a voice, for which purpose, model, channel, territory and period—and what withdrawal means for future use and existing outputs.
03
Verifiable event history
Preserve an append-only history of claims, reviews, grants, uses, payments, disputes and revocations without placing raw audio or biometric templates in a public ledger.
Privacy architecture
Public proof should reveal as little as possible
R0 · Public record
Minimal registry facts
An opaque identifier, a narrowly defined record status and cryptographic evidence intended for public verification.
R1 · Restricted operations
Permission and audit detail
Scopes, counterparties, model versions, review evidence and operational audit data available only to authorized parties.
R2 · Biometric private
Audio and voice features
Recordings, embeddings, reversible features and key material isolated from public lookup, analytics and client caches.

Open safe preview →A SoundTitle record shows that a submission or event was recorded at a time. It is not a government registration and does not create, decide or guarantee copyright, performers' rights, personality rights or other property rights.
