Typecast Rust SDK

Official Rust SDK for the Typecast Text-to-Speech API.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
typecast-rust = "0.1.0"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

Quick Start

use typecast_rust::{TypecastClient, TTSRequest, TTSModel};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> typecast_rust::Result<()> {
    // Create a client (reads TYPECAST_API_KEY from environment)
    let client = TypecastClient::from_env()?;

    // Create a TTS request
    let request = TTSRequest::new(
        "tc_60e5426de8b95f1d3000d7b5",  // voice_id
        "Hello, world!",                 // text
        TTSModel::SsfmV30,               // model
    );

    // Generate speech
    let response = client.text_to_speech(&request).await?;
    
    // Save to file
    std::fs::write("output.wav", &response.audio_data)?;
    println!("Audio saved! Duration: {:.2} seconds", response.duration);

    Ok(())
}

Configuration

Environment Variables

• TYPECAST_API_KEY: Your Typecast API key (required)
• TYPECAST_API_HOST: Custom API host (optional, defaults to https://api.typecast.ai)

Custom Configuration

use typecast_rust::{TypecastClient, ClientConfig};
use std::time::Duration;

let config = ClientConfig::new("your-api-key")
    .base_url("https://api.typecast.ai")
    .timeout(Duration::from_secs(120));

let client = TypecastClient::new(config)?;

Features

Text-to-Speech

use typecast_rust::{TTSRequest, TTSModel, Output, AudioFormat};

// Basic request
let request = TTSRequest::new(
    "tc_60e5426de8b95f1d3000d7b5",
    "Hello, world!",
    TTSModel::SsfmV30,
);

// With language and output settings
let request = TTSRequest::new(
    "tc_60e5426de8b95f1d3000d7b5",
    "Hello, world!",
    TTSModel::SsfmV30,
)
.language("eng")
.output(Output::new()
    .volume(120)
    .audio_pitch(2)
    .audio_tempo(1.2)
    .audio_format(AudioFormat::Mp3))
.seed(42);

Emotion Control

Preset Emotions (ssfm-v30)

use typecast_rust::{PresetPrompt, EmotionPreset};

let request = TTSRequest::new(voice_id, text, TTSModel::SsfmV30)
    .prompt(PresetPrompt::new()
        .emotion_preset(EmotionPreset::Happy)
        .emotion_intensity(1.5));

Available presets:

• Normal - Neutral, balanced tone
• Happy - Bright, cheerful expression
• Sad - Melancholic, subdued tone
• Angry - Strong, intense delivery
• Whisper - Soft, quiet speech (ssfm-v30 only)
• ToneUp - Higher tonal emphasis (ssfm-v30 only)
• ToneDown - Lower tonal emphasis (ssfm-v30 only)

Smart Context-Aware Emotion (ssfm-v30)

use typecast_rust::SmartPrompt;

let request = TTSRequest::new(voice_id, text, TTSModel::SsfmV30)
    .prompt(SmartPrompt::new()
        .previous_text("I'm so excited about this!")
        .next_text("This is the best day ever!"));

Voice Discovery

use typecast_rust::{VoicesV2Filter, TTSModel, Gender, Age};

// Get all voices
let voices = client.get_voices_v2(None).await?;

// Filter voices
let filter = VoicesV2Filter::new()
    .model(TTSModel::SsfmV30)
    .gender(Gender::Female)
    .age(Age::YoungAdult);

let voices = client.get_voices_v2(Some(filter)).await?;

// Get specific voice
let voice = client.get_voice_v2("tc_60e5426de8b95f1d3000d7b5").await?;
println!("Voice: {} ({:?})", voice.voice_name, voice.gender);

Error Handling

use typecast_rust::TypecastError;

match client.text_to_speech(&request).await {
    Ok(response) => {
        // Success
    }
    Err(TypecastError::Unauthorized { .. }) => {
        println!("Invalid API key");
    }
    Err(TypecastError::PaymentRequired { .. }) => {
        println!("Insufficient credits");
    }
    Err(TypecastError::RateLimited { .. }) => {
        println!("Rate limit exceeded, please retry later");
    }
    Err(TypecastError::NotFound { detail }) => {
        println!("Voice not found: {}", detail);
    }
    Err(e) => {
        println!("Error: {}", e);
    }
}

Supported Languages

The API supports 37 languages with ssfm-v30 model:
