    Custom self-hypnosis audio: details

    Insight Timer

    No listed support

    Insight Timer: The consumer product supplies teacher-recorded practices, timers, routines, journaling and library tools. Teacher publishing and assistant discovery connections are identified separately where relevant. No tool for making a new personalized script and guided recording in this format was listed. Existing library recordings, recommendations and timers do not meet that creation definition. This is an assessment of the reviewed published feature scope, not an explicit vendor denial.

    Manai

    Yes

    Creates an original guided script and narrated recording from your instructions. Generation allowance and available voices depend on your plan. Self-directed wellness audio, not clinical hypnotherapy.

    Waking Up

    No listed support

    Waking Up: Its documented offering consists of recorded teaching, configurable listening, playlists, and a meditation timer. These criteria require a newly personalized script and narrated recording, rather than a selection from existing sessions. Our review found no listed support for this criterion; this is a published-feature assessment, not an explicit vendor denial.
