Getting started: your first generation in five minutes
Create an account, learn the free plan, make your first clip, and find it in your library. No credit card, no setup.
Updated June 11, 2026
Create your account
Go to the sign-in page and choose Create your account. You need an email address and a password of at least six characters. Depending on your email provider you may get a confirmation link to click before your first sign-in.
That is the whole setup. No credit card, no plan picker, no onboarding quiz. A new account starts on the free plan automatically and lands on your dashboard.
You can try the studio without an account, but clips only save to a library when you are signed in. If you plan to keep what you make, sign up first.
What the free plan includes
The free plan gives you 10,000 characters of generation each month. In practical terms, about 1,000 characters is a minute of audio, so that is roughly 10 minutes a month. About, not exactly: read speed varies with the script and the voice.
Your meter resets on the 1st of each month (UTC). Everything you generate draws from the same allowance, whichever tool or engine you use, and there is no per-take charge inside it: regenerating a line costs the same characters as the first attempt did.
The full picture, including the caps on individual uploads and scripts, lives in Usage and limits.
Your dashboard
After signing in you land on the workspace dashboard. It has three parts:
- Create cards: one card per tool. Text to Speech, Speech to Text, Dubbing, and Sound & Music are live; Audiobook Studio is in beta; Voice Cloning and the Voice Changer are coming soon.
- Recent generations: your last few clips, playable right there, with a View all link to the full library.
- The usage meter: how much of this month's allowance you have used, with a link to plans.
Make your first clip
Open Text to Speech from the dashboard. The big editor on the left is where your script goes; if you would rather not write one yet, tap a starter chip (a story, a meditation, an ad read) and the editor fills itself.
The panel on the right shows the current voice and engine. The defaults are fine for a first run. Press Generate, or Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on a Mac), and a transport bar appears along the bottom with your clip playing in it.
From there, iterate: change a word, switch the voice, generate again. The studio guide covers engines, bracketed cues, and the fine controls in detail.
Where your audio lives
Every clip you generate while signed in is saved to your library automatically; there is no save button to remember. The library is private to your account: we do not publish it and we do not train on it.
Open it from the dashboard's View all link, or from the History tab in the studio, which keeps your recent takes one click away while you work.
Downloads
Download a clip from the transport bar right after generating, from the History tab, or from any row in your library. Files are standard MP3 or WAV depending on the engine, with no watermark and no locked player.
What you download is yours to keep and use commercially. The plain-language version of that promise is on the ownership page.
