What is Typecast?
Typecast is an AI voice generator from Neosapience that converts typed scripts into speech with adjustable emotion, speed and dynamics. Its Smart Emotion feature reads the surrounding text and picks a fitting delivery automatically, while manual presets such as happy, sad, angry or whisper remain available. The catalogue holds several hundred voice characters, some recorded with professional voice actors, and a cloning tool reproduces your own voice so it can speak other languages or change pace and mood. Work is done in a web editor or in mobile apps for iOS and Android that sync across devices. For developers there is a text-to-speech API built on the company's SSFM 3.0 model, with client libraries for Python, JavaScript, Java, Kotlin and Rust. Studio plans for the editor and API plans are subscribed to separately.
