Respeecher is a voice-cloning and speech-to-speech conversion company best known for consent-based, production-grade voice work — its technology recreated a young Luke Skywalker's voice for Disney's The Mandalorian and has been used on Cyberpunk 2077, The Brutalist and National Geographic's Endurance. It serves two distinct audiences: film, TV, game and audiobook studios who commission custom, ethically-sourced voice conversions under negotiated (often custom-quoted) terms, and developers who want self-serve text-to-speech or speech-to-speech through the Respeecher Marketplace and the pay-as-you-go Respeecher Space API. Pricing is a mix: published self-serve plans and API rates for the developer products, and custom/contact-based pricing for bespoke entertainment-industry projects.
Who builds it
Respeecher is a Ukraine-founded voice AI company that pairs proprietary voice-conversion models with in-house sound engineers to fine-tune results for professional production. Its core custom workflow: a client supplies isolated recordings of a "source" performer and a "target" voice (with the target voice owner's written consent), Respeecher checks whether the data covers the needed emotional range, then converts the source performance into the target's timbre while preserving the original's emotion and timing. Its Marketplace and Space API let developers generate speech from 100+ licensed stock voices without a custom engagement.
Core features
- Speech-to-speech voice conversion — converts a source performer's delivery into a target voice while preserving the original performance's emotion, timing and intonation, used for de-aging, dubbing and character continuity (e.g., young Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian).
- Consent-based cloning process — Respeecher states it requires written permission from voice owners, does not use voices without permission in ways that could affect someone's privacy or livelihood, and has said publicly it has never cloned a voice without consent.
- Voice Marketplace — a self-serve library of 100+ licensed, ethically-sourced TTS voices filterable by age, gender, pitch and nationality, usable via web app or API.
- Respeecher Space real-time API — a low-latency (~200ms) TTS/streaming API pay-as-you-go at $2 per 60,000 characters, with Unity and Unreal SDKs for games and interactive voice agents.
- Revenue share for voice talent — Respeecher states voice talent receives at least 25% of all revenue generated from their licensed voice.
- Accent and multilingual support — the Marketplace TTS model covers English, Spanish and German text, and speech-to-speech supports 10+ English accents (e.g., Australian, British, Indian).
Pricing
Respeecher runs two pricing tracks:
- Self-serve Marketplace credits: from a $5 Starter Pack (5 credits, ~20,000 TTS characters or 5 minutes speech-to-speech) up to a $250 pack (500 credits, ~2 million characters or 500 minutes), plus monthly subscriptions — TTS Only at $18/month (100,000 characters), Creator at $89/month (400,000 characters, 90 STS minutes) and Power at $499/month (3 million characters, 900 STS minutes); yearly billing saves 17%, and a free trial is offered.
- Respeecher Space API: pay-as-you-go at $2 per 60,000 characters (roughly $2/hour of audio), no subscription required.
- Enterprise / custom entertainment projects: the company's flagship film, TV and game voice-cloning work (e.g., The Mandalorian) is quote-based — Respeecher does not publish a price list for bespoke productions and asks prospective clients to submit project details for evaluation.
Who it's for
Respeecher fits two different buyers. Indie developers, podcasters and game studios needing quick, licensed narration or in-engine dialogue can go self-serve through the Marketplace or Space API starting at a few dollars. Film, TV and AAA game studios that need a specific real (or historical) voice recreated with consent, legal clearance and hands-on sound engineering — the use case Respeecher is best known for — should expect a custom, quote-based engagement, similar to its Mandalorian, Cyberpunk 2077 and Endurance work.
