Podcastle

Podcastle is an AI audio and podcast creation platform whose developer engine, Async, exposes a low-latency Voice API for human-like text-to-speech, a browsable voice library, and instant voice cloning from a short audio sample. The API is served from https://api.async.com and authenticated with an x-api-key header plus a version header. Transcription is a Podcastle platform feature; no standalone transcription endpoint is documented in the public Voice API.

Podcastle publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Text to Speech API and Voices API. Tagged areas include AI, Audio, Text to Speech, Voice Cloning, and Podcasting.
