On Windows, it can work with microphone-enabled apps such as Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp, Skype and Twitch, plus games including Minecraft and Fortnite. The platform listing includes Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, while its API offering covers voice agents, cloning and text-to-speech. The free plan includes 5k credits/month and a five-minute audio conversion limit. Starter costs $5 a month and includes 15k credits/month and five instant voice clones.
