Frequently asked questions
What format is the output?
An MP3 audio file (audio/mpeg) generated from your plain-text input.
How much does it cost?
It's a Pro tool that uses 2 credits per run. The free in-browser tools remain free; anything backed by a hosted model is Pro.
Does my text get sent to a server?
Yes. Unlike the fully in-browser tools, this one sends your text to a hosted neural TTS model to synthesize the audio. It's processed for the request and the MP3 is returned to you.
What can feed into it?
Any plain text. It's designed to chain after tools that output text — Summarize, Translate, OCR, or Redact — so you can get audio out of nearly any pipeline.
How long can the text be?
It handles typical paragraphs and articles comfortably. Very long inputs are best split into sections, both for cost control and to keep each clip a manageable length.
