How much text can I convert at once?
Free cloud voices convert up to 5,000 characters per conversion, about a page and a half of dense text, with no account.
Local voices run in your browser after a one-time model download and have no character limit at all, so a full chapter or book works for free.
Lifetime Boost (a one-time payment) and every subscription raise cloud conversions to 1,000,000 characters each, roughly a full-length novel in one go.
What's free and what's paid?
Free: cloud voices up to 5,000 characters per conversion, local voices with no limit, PDF/Word/EPUB/image upload with in-browser OCR, speed and pitch control.
Paid: 1,000,000 characters per conversion and MP3 download (Lifetime Boost or any subscription), plus Google Neural2, WaveNet and Gemini voices, voice cloning and the audiobook builder on subscriptions. See current prices on the pricing page.
Can I turn a whole book into audio?
Yes. Upload the EPUB or PDF, or paste the text, and convert it chapter by chapter so you can keep your place and fix any mispronounced names before the next part.
One file per chapter, numbered in order, plays in sequence in any audio player.
Does it run in the cloud?
Cloud voices generate the audio online, so it works on any device with a browser, including phones and older laptops. Local voices generate audio on your own computer instead, so your text never leaves it.
