Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 4 of the 9 other AI voice generators we grade
Typecast is an AI voice generator for creators and businesses, with 600+ voices built with real voice actors and controls for emotion, speed and intonation. It also clones your voice, edits video with voiceovers and makes talking-avatar clips, and offers an API. Generating and playing audio is unlimited on every plan; credits are spent only when you download.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Typecast, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for expressive voices with emotion controls
Generating is unlimited and you only spend credits when you download.
- 2
Paid plans start at $5 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $5 per month for 30,000 download credits, billed monthly.
- 3

Free plan with unlimited generation and 3,000 lifetime download credits (about 5 minutes); attribution required

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | An 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Generating 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. |
| Features | B | 600+ 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, plus an API with SDKs. No desktop app and no integrations listed, so a B is the top. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- YouTube, TikTok and faceless video creators
- Character, game and audiobook voices that need emotion
- Cloning your own voice on a low monthly budget
Worth knowing
- The free plan's 3,000 download credits are lifetime, not monthly, and downloads on it need attribution; the commercial license starts on Basic.
- Credits are used only when you download, so each plan's monthly allowance caps how much finished audio you can export.
- You may clone only your own voice or one you have the legal right to use, and cloned voices stay private to your account.
- Extra credits can be bought only on Business, and App Store and Google Play prices can differ from the web prices.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
