FakeYou

What FakeYou is

FakeYou is an AI voice service for generating audio or videos of favorite characters saying supplied text. Its community-powered Text to Speech tool converts text into speech using more than 3,500 character voices. Voice to Voice transforms one person’s voice into another; it accepts recorded or uploaded audio in MP3, WAV, FLAC, and OGG formats. The homepage also lists beta Voice Designer, F5-TTS zero-shot voice cloning, and Seed-VC zero-shot voice conversion. Users can search community-trained voice models and filter them by language and community ratings.

FakeYou offers web, iOS, Android, and API access, including a free plan. Its API is freely available subject to IP rate limits; optional tokens can bypass those limits and reach privately uploaded voice models. Paid plans range from Plus at $12 a month to Elite at $40 a month, with Pro at $25 a month. They differ in processing priority, audio-duration allowances, and private-model options. Generated audio is watermarked, and commercial use is not allowed. FakeYou says it does not analyze audio to identify it, sell it, or use it beyond providing and improving the service.

Who it suits

FakeYou suits people who want character-voice text-to-speech, voice conversion, or voice models shared by a community. Its API and voice identifiers may suit developers building Twitch or Discord applications, while the free plan offers a way to start without a paid subscription.

Limits

The free API is subject to IP rate limits, and requests over those limits receive HTTP 429 responses. Paid plans cap Text to Speech audio at 30 seconds on Plus, one minute on Pro, and two minutes on Elite; Voice to Voice is capped at four minutes on Plus and five minutes on Pro, while Elite allows unlimited audio.
