Who can use text-to-speech?



The text-to-speech feature requires a paid subscription on the Biteable Premium plan. During your free trial period, you will have access to text-to-speech along with all of the other Premium features.

What happens if I use text-to-speech in a trial and then purchase a Biteable Pro plan?



Text-to-speech tracks in any project(s) you created during your trial will remain in that project. However, you will not be able to edit or regenerate the text-to-speech track unless you upgrade to a Premium plan. New projects created under a Pro plan can not have text-to-speech tracks added.

What voices are available to use? What do the voices sound like?



There are several voices available to use, each with a different gender or accent. You can preview the available voices here or in the Biteable app.
