Typecast
AI voice generator with emotion controls, voice cloning and video
Typecast report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for expressive voices with emotion controls
Typecast's thing is emotion: 600+ voices, many built with real voice actors, that you can steer by mood, speed and intonation, plus voice cloning from the $5 plan. Generating is unlimited and you only spend credits when you download. The catch is the size of those allowances: an hour of finished audio a month needs Pro, at $312 a year.
Who Typecast is for
- Great if you voice characters, games or audiobooks and need emotion
- Handy when you want to clone your own voice for $5 a month
- Good for faceless YouTube and TikTok channels
Who Typecast is not for
- Tight if you download a lot, since Basic covers about 35 minutes a month
- Pricey if you need an hour a month, which means Pro at $312 a year
- Not for you if you want to buy extra credits without moving to Business
Why Typecast gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyAn hour of downloads a month needs Pro: $312 billed yearly ($29 monthly) for 75,000 credits, about 90 minutes. Plus, at $204 a year, stops at about 50 minutes. That's near the top of what this category charges, softened by unlimited generation.
- CFree plan and trialGenerating and playing is unlimited, which is handy for picking voices. But downloads come from 3,000 lifetime credits, about 5 minutes, with attribution and no commercial license. Not enough for anything you publish.
- BFeatures600+ voices with Smart Emotion, instant cloning from Basic and professional cloning from Plus, a video editor up to 4K, talking avatars, and an API with SDKs in six languages. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the voice work.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Typing a line and picking a voice is easy; getting the emotion, pace and intonation right takes some fiddling, and those controls are spread across plans.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, plus an API with SDKs. No desktop app and no integrations listed, so a B is the top.

Keep Typecast, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Typecast you would be making a voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $60 a year.
What you could not
- A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- A voice model trained on your recordings.
- A video editor.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Typecast’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Worth knowing

- Extra credits can be bought only on Business, and App Store and Google Play prices can differ from the web prices.
