Yes, the Text-to-Speech feature is limited to 5,000 characters per generation. This limit ensures stability and reduces the likelihood of AI errors. For longer content, you can use the Projects feature to split your text into smaller sections and manage them efficiently.

what if I upload a 10 page file to audiobook and I press download. How long will it be?

The length of the MP3 file generated from your 10-page document will depend on the amount of text and the speaking speed of the voice used. Since there is no option to adjust the speaking speed, the duration will vary based on the content and the default speed of the selected voice.

If you want a more precise estimate, you can preview the audio for a section of your document in the Studio interface before downloading the full file. This will give you an idea of the total runtime.

Yes, there are limits when generating audio. For uploaded files, the maximum length per paragraph is 5,000 characters. However, shorter paragraphs of 500 characters or less are recommended to ensure better audio quality and stability. If your file exceeds these limits, you may need to split it into smaller sections before generating the audio.

For audiobooks, the length of the final audio depends on the content and the speaking speed of the selected voice, which cannot currently be adjusted. If you upload a large file, ensure it is properly formatted to avoid issues during conversion.

how can I get a whole file mp3 of the whole book if there is a 5000 word limit?

There is no 5,000-character limit when creating MP3 files in Projects. You can upload long-form content, such as an entire book, document, or webpage, and generate audio for the entire file. The system supports formats like EPUB, PDF, TXT, HTML, and URL.

Once your content is uploaded, you can organize it into chapters or sections, generate voiceovers for each part, and then download either individual MP3 files for each chapter or a single MP3 file for the entire project. This allows you to create a full audiobook without any restrictions on file length. For more details, you can explore the Projects feature.

To ensure the best results when converting a document into an audiobook, it's recommended to upload your file as an EPUB format rather than a .docx. This helps avoid formatting issues and ensures the entire book is processed correctly. If you're encountering issues with incomplete conversions or downloads, reformatting your file and re-uploading it as an EPUB should resolve the problem.

If you're still facing challenges, feel free to provide more details!

  1. Microsoft Word:

    • Open your document in Word.
    • Save it as a .docx file if it isn’t already.
    • Use an online converter like CloudConvert or Zamzar to convert the .docx file to EPUB.

  2. Google Docs:

    • Upload your document to Google Docs.
    • Export it as a .docx file.
    • Use an online EPUB converter to convert the .docx to EPUB.

  3. Calibre (Free Software):

    • Download and install Calibre.
    • Import your document (in formats like .docx, .pdf, or .txt).
    • Use Calibre’s conversion feature to export it as an EPUB file.

  4. Online EPUB Creators:

    • Use platforms like Reedsy Book Editor or other free online tools to create and format your EPUB file.

so, if I upload a 100 page book to the audiobook project and click generate and download then I'll have an mp3 of the whole 100 pages?

Yes, you can upload a 100-page book to the Projects feature and generate an MP3 of the entire book. The system will process the text, break it into smaller sections (chapters or paragraphs), and allow you to generate audio for each section. Once the entire project is converted, you can download the full book as a single MP3 file or as separate files for each chapter.

Make sure your file is in a supported format, such as EPUB, PDF, TXT, HTML, or a webpage URL. If your file is in .docx, you’ll need to convert it to one of these formats first.

For creating an EPUB file, you can use tools like:

  • Calibre (a free e-book management tool)
  • Online converters (search for "DOCX to EPUB converter")
  • Export options in word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, which may allow saving as EPUB.

Once your file is ready, upload it to the Projects tool, generate the audio, and download the final MP3.
