What PlayHT is
PlayHT turns written text into speech with AI voices. It also offers voice cloning, dubbing, voice changing, voice isolation, transcription, AI music, and sound effects. Its text-to-speech page describes a library of hundreds of premium voices, with MP3 and WAV downloads. In the studio, users can adjust voice intensity, variation, and dynamics, and generation history is saved so versions can be compared.
PlayHT says a voice clone can be made from a 30-second sample and used for multilingual speech and through its API. Its auto-dubbing page supports voiceovers in more than 40 languages and video uploads through the web platform or API. The text-to-speech page states support for more than 30 languages and local variations, while the About page says 50+ languages. The service is available on the web and through an API, which supports speech generation and other features; a documented MCP connector works with Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients.
The Starter plan is free and includes 10,000 credits per month. Creator costs $9.99 a month. PlayHT says submitted text is not used to train models unless users opt in. Its voice-cloning rules require documented written consent to clone another person and prohibit cloning minors’ voices.
