Emotional AI voice generator with over 700 character voices, voice cloning slots and a REST API. Free plan with 5 download minutes per month; Basic plan from $7.99/month billed annually ($8.99 monthly).

Profile

Typecast is an AI voice-actor platform that turns scripts into expressive text-to-speech voiceovers, aimed at video creators, e-learning producers, advertisers and developers who need narrated audio without hiring voice talent. It runs on a freemium model where voice generation itself is unlimited on every plan, but downloading finished audio is metered by monthly download-minute credits that scale with a paid tier, from a free plan up to a $89.99/month Business plan, plus a separate usage-based developer API.

Who builds it

Typecast is built by Typecast Inc. Users pick from a library of 500+ AI voice actors (or clone their own), type or paste a script, adjust emotion and delivery, and generate audio that can be downloaded as WAV or MP3 once they have download credits available.

Core features

  • 500+ AI voice actors covering premium quality in languages including English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese, with broader support across 37 languages total
  • Unlimited voice generation for experimentation on every plan — you only spend download credits when exporting a finished file
  • Instant voice cloning from a short audio sample, with cloning slots gated by plan (1 on Pro, 2 on Business)
  • Emotion, pacing and expression controls for more natural-sounding delivery than flat TTS
  • Developer API and SDKs (Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C#, Java) offering streaming TTS and timestamped TTS for subtitles, karaoke and lip-sync
  • No-code automation integrations (Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets) for embedding voice generation into existing workflows

Pricing

  • Free: unlimited voice generation, 1 GB storage, a selection of voices, 5 minutes of download credits/month
  • Basic: $8.99/month or $95.88/year — 5 GB storage, all voices, 60 minutes of download credits/month, commercial license included
  • Pro: $32.90/month or $347.88/year — 50 GB storage, 2 hours of download credits/month, 1 voice-cloning slot, advanced editing features
  • Business: $89.99/month or $971.88/year — 100 GB storage, 6 hours of download credits/month, 2 voice-cloning slots
  • Commercial usage rights are included starting on the Basic plan ($8.99/month) — the Free plan is not licensed for commercial use
  • Check typecast.ai/pricing and typecast.ai/developers/api for current rates, since plan details can change

Who it's for

Hobbyists and students experimenting with AI voiceovers without a commercial-use need can stay on Free. Solo creators and small YouTube/podcast channels needing a commercial license and modest download volume fit Basic. Professionals producing regular voiceover or e-learning content who need voice cloning should move to Pro, while agencies and larger content teams needing more storage, download minutes and cloning slots should use Business. Developers embedding TTS into their own apps should use the separate Typecast API rather than the consumer plans.

Frequently asked questions

What does Typecast cost?

Typecast runs from a free plan up to Basic at $8.99/month, Pro at $32.90/month and Business at $89.99/month (each with a cheaper annual option), with voice generation unlimited on every plan but audio downloads metered by monthly download-minute credits that scale by tier. A separate developer API is priced by usage. Check typecast.ai/pricing directly, since exact rates and included minutes can change.

Is Typecast free?

Yes, Typecast has a free plan with unlimited voice generation for experimentation, 1 GB storage and 5 minutes of download credits per month. It's useful for testing voices and workflow before committing, but the low download allowance and lack of a commercial license mean regular or commercial use requires upgrading to at least the Basic plan.

What languages and voices does Typecast support?

Typecast's documentation lists 500+ AI voice actors and support for 37 languages, with premium-quality delivery specifically highlighted for English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese. Voice generation itself is unlimited across every plan, so the full voice and language library is accessible even before upgrading — only downloading the finished audio is metered.

Does Typecast support voice cloning?

Yes — Typecast offers Instant Cloning, which creates a custom voice model from a short audio sample for use in text-to-speech generation. Cloning slots are plan-gated rather than unlimited: the Pro plan ($32.90/month) includes 1 cloning slot and Business ($89.99/month) includes 2, while Free and Basic do not include voice cloning.

Can I use Typecast's voiceovers commercially?

Yes, starting on the Basic plan ($8.99/month) — Typecast explicitly includes a commercial license from Basic upward, covering Pro and Business as well. The Free plan does not include commercial usage rights, so audio generated there is intended for testing and non-commercial use only.

Does Typecast have an API?

Yes, Typecast offers a developer API and SDKs in Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C#, and Java, supporting standard text-to-speech, streaming TTS for real-time playback, and timestamped TTS for generating word- or character-level timing data used in subtitles, karaoke and lip-sync. It also supports no-code automation via Zapier, Make, n8n and Google Sheets, separate from the consumer subscription plans.
