Description of Typecast
Typecast is an AI voice generator and text-to-speech platform for creators, developers and companies. The site advertises more than 700 voices in categories such as ads, audiobooks, narration, podcasts, games, kids and anime, and says some come from real voice actors. The API section cites 600+ voices, so the count differs across the page.
Voice cloning lets you make your own voice and, according to the site, use it across several languages with control over speed and emotion. The API section lists 35+ languages and code examples in Python, JavaScript, C#, Java, Kotlin and Rust, with real-time voice and emotion-aware speech controls. Users can work in a web studio, which includes an AI voice editor and a video editor, or in iOS and Android apps that sync with the web editor. The footer credits Neosapience, Inc. and links to an ethics commitment.
Consumer pricing, from the pricing page, is Free at $0, Basic at $5 a month ($54 a year), Plus at $19 ($204), Pro at $29 ($312) and Business at $69 ($744). The Free plan gives 3,000 lifetime download credits, about 5 minutes, limited to trial voices, requires attribution, and has no voice cloning or Talking Avatar. Basic and higher plans include a commercial licence. Cloning slots grow with the plan: one instant slot on Basic, one professional slot on Plus, two on Pro and ten on Business. API pricing is listed separately.
