Supertone
HYBE-owned AI voice toolkit — real-time voice changer Shift plus Clear and Air dialogue plugins.
Acquired — still operating
acquired by HYBE ($32M); cloud services shut down Aug 2026
About
Supertone, fully acquired by HYBE in a $32M deal, builds voice AI for creators and post-production. Shift is a real-time voice changer (100+ character voices, sub-50ms latency, no GPU needed) aimed at streamers, VTubers, and gamers on Discord, VRChat, and Twitch. Clear is a three-knob de-noise/de-reverb plugin and Air is a reverb/EQ dialogue-match plugin for film and TV ADR work — both AU/VST3/AAX with Apple Silicon support. Its tech has appeared in Disney+ and Netflix productions.
The honest picture: Supertone's cloud services (Play, API, Voice Builder) shut down in August 2026 under new ownership — only Shift, Clear, and Air continue. Shift's free tier runs on monthly credits, with Starter at $3.99/month and Pro at $14.99/month; Clear is a $69 one-time license and Air $99. Real-time conversion quality depends heavily on mic quality, and the voice library, while large, skews toward character voices rather than natural narration.
