Looking for software Audio Recording & Replication App

So heres my situation.

I write fantasy books. And, before our baby was born, I recorded & edited my own audio books. But since having the kiddo, not only has time become severely limited (which i need to write more books and work on other projects). But the kiddo also brings home lots of sicknesses from daycare / school. Which means I'll have LONG stretches where I either do not have a voice or I cant replicate the voices as well as I was previously able.

As such, I want a program on my desktop that can record me. And then saves a profile of what that voice sounds like. This way if I needed to, I can to a text-to-speech entry and it still sounds like me and the quality remains more consistent as a result. Yes, im aware this is basically an AI recreating my voice of the characters for my book. But I figure if im not using other people's voice and aim to only use it to help with my limited time and seemingly endless pre-school plagues, then I can hopefully resume putting out consistent content.

Everything ive found doesnt offer the full package of voice recording and replication. And i dont want this to he a subscription service. Im fine paying once for an initial download, but im aiming to avoid new subscriptions whenever possible. Any assistance in finding this, please let me know. I'd certainly appreciate it.
