What is ToneCraft?

ToneCraft is AI text-to-speech for creators: turn a script into studio-quality voice-over for podcasts, audiobooks, courses, ads, and video narration. You pick from our catalog of voices — we do not offer voice cloning of real people or deepfake impersonation tools.

How do multiple voices work in one script?

Start a paragraph with a speaker label — like VESPER: — and assign each label a voice in the editor's cast panel. The whole scene renders as one seamless, level-matched track with a natural beat at every speaker turn. Label characters aren't charged, and unlabeled paragraphs use your default voice.

Can I generate a script from a topic?

Yes. The AI script writer takes a topic, target length, tone and language, and returns a spoken narration script you can edit and send straight to the editor. Each script costs 2,000 characters against your monthly balance.

Can I re-voice an existing recording?

Yes. Upload audio or video, paste a public Google Drive, Dropbox, or direct media link, or import a VTT/TXT transcript. Clean the result, optionally translate it, then cast voices and generate a new voice-over from that script. For YouTube, download the file from YouTube Studio and upload it here. We deliver the audio and captions — we do not replace the video itself.

Voices and languages

Which languages and voices are available?

20 languages through 56 studio-quality multilingual voices — 26 on every plan and 30 premium voices on paid plans — with per-word pronunciation control via your dictionary.

Billing and characters

How do characters work?

Every plan includes a monthly character allowance — roughly 1,000 characters per minute of speech. A 10-minute narration is about 9,000–10,000 characters. Regenerating an unchanged paragraph is free: we cache identical audio and never charge twice for the same text.

Do unused characters roll over?

Plan characters reset each billing cycle. One-time top-up packs never expire — whatever you don't use carries over month after month.

Can I make a voice-over without signing up?

Yes. The studio on our home page turns your own script into a finished voice-over — 5,000 free characters, no account and no card — and the MP3 is yours to download. It ends with a short spoken "ToneCraft" outro. A free account raises that to 25,000 characters a month and adds the editor, captions and multi-voice casting; paid plans remove the outro.

How does billing work?

Payments, receipts and EU/global tax are handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel any time from your billing portal; cancellations keep your plan until the period ends.

What happens if a generation fails?

Failed generations are refunded automatically — the characters go straight back to your balance, no support ticket needed. See our Refund Policy for money vs character rules.

Rights and policy

Can I use the audio commercially?

You own what you generate — our speech provider assigns output rights to the generating account, and we pass them through to you in full, for your own podcasts, audiobooks, videos and courses. Free-tier audio includes a short spoken "ToneCraft" outro. One rule carries through from those terms: don't present generated narration as a human recording where that would mislead your listeners.

What content is not allowed?

No fraud, scams, robocalls, harassment, or impersonation of real people without consent. Full rules are in our Acceptable Use Policy. We run automated screens and may suspend accounts that break the rules.

Hear the read before you re-record anything.

A free account opens the editor, captions, and the rest of the monthly allowance.

Free to start

Then from $7/month for about 3 hours of audio. One-time top-up packs never expire.
