What is ToneCraft?

ToneCraft (tonecraftvo.com) is an AI voice-over and text-to-speech studio built for long scripts. Users paste or draft a script, cast it with voices from a fixed catalog, and download finished narration along with SRT captions. The site positions it for people who publish, such as podcasters, course creators, video makers and authors.

The catalog holds 126 voices across 20 languages: 26 standard voices and 100 premium voices. ToneCraft does not offer voice cloning, and its About page presents that as a deliberate decision rather than a gap. The product is run by a very small team, and email is the primary support channel.

How does ToneCraft work?

The workflow has three steps. First, bring the words by pasting a script, generating one with the AI script writer, or transcribing a recording. Second, cast and direct by assigning a voice to each speaker and adding performance tags. Third, export one level-matched track with loudness presets and captions.

Long scripts are split on sentence boundaries, generated in parallel and stitched into one file. Unchanged paragraphs replay from cache when text, voice and settings match, so an edit only charges for the regenerated paragraph. Failed paid generations are refunded to the character balance automatically. The home page studio lets visitors test 5,000 characters without an account.

Key features of ToneCraft

The multi-voice editor uses speaker labels written like a script, with each label assigned a voice in a cast panel. Label characters are not charged. Other tools include transcription with re-voicing, an AI script writer, CSV bulk generation, a pronunciation dictionary for brands and names, and audiobooks built from DRM-free book files into one M4B with chapter markers.

Premium voices follow emotional direction written into the script, such as cautious or alarmed tags, while standard voices read the text as written. Exports include MP3, WAV and SRT, with loudness presets for video and podcasts. Video captions, still in beta, support SRT or VTT import, caption styling, translation and MP4 export for clips up to five minutes.

Can ToneCraft clone my voice?

No. ToneCraft uses catalog voices only and does not let users upload a recording to clone a real person's voice. Its About page describes this as a deliberate decision.

Can I use ToneCraft audio commercially?

The site states that users own what they generate and can use it in their own podcasts, audiobooks, videos and courses. Free-plan audio includes a short spoken outro, and the terms ask users not to present generated narration as a human recording where that would mislead listeners.

Can ToneCraft make an audiobook?

Yes. Upload a DRM-free book file up to 100 MB, review the chapters, choose a voice, and download one M4B with chapter markers and cover art, or a ZIP of chapter MP3s. The M4B is meant for audiobook apps, not retail audiobook stores.

Which languages does ToneCraft support?

ToneCraft supports 20 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified). Standard voices work across all 20 languages, and premium voices are matched to a language and accent.
