Typecast Review

Typecast, an AI voice generator, clones a voice from your recording and builds multi-speaker dialogue for audiobook-length scripts. It lets you fix how specific words are pronounced, includes a free plan and a shared team workspace, though it does not dub speech or read your own documents aloud.

Research-based review. Features and prices are checked on the vendor's own website, and the score is worked out from those facts. We haven't tested it hands-on yet.

The verdict

Typecast suits teams scripting audiobooks and multi-voice dialogue on a free plan, but it can't dub speech into other languages the way ElevenLabs does.

Pros

  • The free plan allows unlimited generation and playback, with 3,000 lifetime download credits.
  • Voice cloning comes in two forms: instant cloning from a 5-second sample and professional cloning from a 5-minute sample.
  • The voice library runs to 700+ voices across 35+ languages.
  • Typecast runs as native iOS and Android apps as well as in the browser.

Cons

  • The Free plan carries no commercial licence and requires attribution on every download.
  • Adding team members is a Business-plan feature, unavailable below $69 a month.
  • The advanced emotion and intonation controls start on the Pro plan at $29 a month.

Why these numbers

Clones a voice from your recording: Both types offered: Instant (5+ second sample, from Basic $5/mo, 1 slot) and Professional (5+ minute sample, from Plus $19/mo, 1 slot).

Languages it speaks: Also stated as "35+ languages" on the voices page.

Ready-made voices: The separate API pricing page states "600+ AI voices"; using the Studio product's own figure (700+) since that is the record being scored.

Dubs speech into another language: Only a blog "how to" guide describing a general multi-tool dubbing workflow (transcription + translation + TTS) was found; checked text-to-speech, voices, create and pricing pages for a stated product feature that translates existing speech/video into another language in a matching voice, and found none.

Changes the voice of a recording: Checked text-to-speech, voice-cloning and create pages for a voice-changer that keeps the timing of a supplied recording; found none. Product is text-to-speech and voice cloning from text, not speech-to-speech conversion.

Editor for audiobooks and long projects: Multi-speaker dialogue and audiobook (manuscript-length) production confirmed; pricing page also confirms unlimited generations for testing/refining a script before spending download credits.

Reads your documents aloud: Checked create, text-to-speech and homepage for a PDF/webpage document reader; Typecast is a script-to-voiceover/video studio, not a reader of your own documents.

Why these numbers

File formats it exports: Counted from export_formats. Video Editor also exports video (HD/Full HD/4K per plan) and the API offers "subtitle timing"/"subtitle export", but no specific video or subtitle file extension (e.g. mp4, srt) is named on the pages checked, so those are left out.

Where it runs: Counted from platforms. Web app at studio.typecast.ai plus native iOS/Android app confirmed on the homepage.

Apps it connects to: Counted from integrations. Checked homepage and pricing pages for named third-party integrations (Canva, Slack, Zapier, etc.); only found blog "how to" guides (e.g. how to voiceover on Canva/Google Slides) describing a manual workflow, not a vendor-listed product integration.

Shared team workspace: Starts on Business ($69/mo); Free/Basic/Plus/Pro all show "-" for this row.

Enterprise is custom pricing, not listed. Studio plans only; API has a separate pricing page (typecast.ai/pricing/api/) not recorded here.

Free plan: No expiry stated; ongoing free tier with a one-time lifetime credit allowance.

How the Spec Score works

Scored from what Typecast publishes on its own site. Not a hands-on test.

Compared with 8 AI voice generators. Facts checked 21 Sep 2026.

A fact the vendor does not publish gets half the points, or the typical value for a number, and says so. It never counts as a no. How we score.

Typecast is an AI voice generator built around Neosapience's own SSFM speech model, with both instant and professional voice cloning. Whether it suits you depends on how much you need to download rather than just preview: every plan, including the free one, lets you generate and listen without limit, but downloading audio spends a metered credit allowance.

What is Typecast?

Typecast is made by Neosapience, Inc., a South Korean company. It runs as a cloud product: a web studio plus native iOS and Android apps, with no self-hosted or offline option. Typecast also sells a separate API product with its own pricing, distinct from the Studio plans covered here.

Making voiceovers with Typecast

Typecast's voice library runs to 700+ voices across 35+ languages, generated by its own SSFM speech model. Generation and playback are unlimited on every plan, including the free one; only downloading audio spends credits.

Two kinds of voice cloning are offered. Instant cloning creates a voice from a sample of 5 or more seconds and is available from the Basic plan up; Professional cloning needs a sample of 5 or more minutes and delivers a studio-level clone, available from the Plus plan up. Uploading a sample requires you to confirm you have permission to use any third-party voice in the submission, and that you consent to the uploaded file being used for AI training.

Smart Emotion adjusts a voice's emotion and delivery in one click, with manual and advanced controls, including intonation, on Pro and above. A separate pronunciation control lets you fine-tune pronunciation, pitch and pacing down to the syllable.

Typecast does not offer dubbing that translates existing speech or video into another language, and it does not offer speech-to-speech conversion that keeps the timing of a recording you supply; it generates voice from text and from cloned voices, not by transforming an existing recording. For longer work, scripts support multi-speaker dialogue and Typecast can turn a full manuscript into an audiobook without recording, and every plan lets you generate and refine a script freely before spending download credits. Typecast does not read your own documents, such as PDFs or web pages, aloud.

Working with Typecast

Typecast runs on the web and as native iOS and Android apps, so you can generate voiceovers from a phone as well as a desktop. Adding team members to an account is a Business-plan feature; it is not available on Free, Basic, Plus or Pro. A separate Typecast API offers full audio generation, real-time playback and subtitle timing for developers who want to build Typecast into their own product, priced apart from the Studio plans.

Typecast pricing: what each plan gives

Typecast, Pricing

Typecast's Free plan costs $0 a month and allows unlimited generation and playback, 3,000 lifetime download credits worth about 5 minutes, 3 projects, standard 16kHz audio, HD 720p video export, 1GB of storage and a 7-day download history. Free downloads require attribution and carry no commercial licence.

Basic costs $5 a month, or $4.50 a month billed yearly, and adds a commercial licence, though downloads still require attribution, plus 30,000 download credits a month, about 35 minutes, and instant voice cloning. Plus costs $19 a month ($17 yearly) and makes attribution optional while adding professional voice cloning. Pro costs $29 a month ($26 yearly) and adds the advanced emotion and intonation controls. Business costs $69 a month ($62 yearly) and adds the ability to add team members. Enterprise pricing is not published and requires contacting Typecast directly.

Privacy and support

Typecast's privacy policy is written in accordance with South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act, the EU and UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act.

Support runs through email and a help centre; no live chat, phone line or community forum is listed.

Who Typecast suits

Typecast suits anyone producing voiceovers, audiobooks or multi-speaker scripts who wants a large voice library and both instant and professional cloning inside one subscription, with generation and playback free to experiment with before spending download credits. Its native iOS and Android apps also suit creators who want to work from a phone.

It suits less well anyone who needs dubbing that translates existing video into another language, a voice changer that preserves a recording's timing, or a document reader, since none of those are offered. Teams that need shared seats also have to reach the $69-a-month Business plan, since adding team members is not available below it.
