A set duration refers to the specific length of time you choose for the generated sound effect. When you set the duration, you have control over how long the sound effect will be, as opposed to letting the AI determine the optimal duration automatically.

Regarding charging, the API charges based on the set duration at a rate of 25 characters per second. This means that if you specify a duration, the cost will be calculated per second, and fractions of seconds are indeed considered in the billing.

The API is charged at 1000 characters per minute of audio. If you are charged for 29 characters, it means the audio is approximately 1.74 seconds long.

Yes, if you are being charged 29 characters for an API call with a set duration, it means the audio is just over 1 second long. The API charges 25 characters per second with a set duration, so 29 characters would indicate slightly more than 1 second of audio.

For text to speech, isn't pricing based simply on number of characters in my text?

Yes, for text-to-speech, the pricing is generally based on the number of characters in your text. Each character in your input text typically counts towards your character quota. However, certain models or features might have different character usage rates, so it's always good to check the specific details of the model or feature you are using.
