What is the meaning of とか in the sentence?
> 「漢字{かんじ}は一緒{いっしょ}でも読{よ}み方{かた} **とか** が全然{ぜんぜん} **違{ちが}ってくる**
> の本当{ほんとう}、凄{すご}いですよね。」

「とか」 functions to give a single (or primary) example of what is being talked
about. Here that example is the 「読み方」 ("readings" or "pronunciations" of the
same kanji).

「読み方とか」, therefore, means " **things such as readings/pronunciations** ".

Roughly speaking, 「とか」 is the colloquial and informal version of 「など」.

Moving on...

「違ってくる」 is a common verb phrase meaning " **to come/result in a variety of
patterns/styles** ".

For those wondering what the 「の」 is doing there in 「違ってくるの」, it is a
nominalizer. It nominalizes the verb phrase 「違ってくる」 to use it as the
grammatical subject of the sentence. The topic marker 「って」 or 「は」 is left
unsaid after the 「違ってくるの」 as this is 100% colloquial/informal speech to begin
with.
