Credits are deducted whenever audio is generated or regenerated, not when you simply press "Play" on already generated audio. If you are losing credits after making adjustments to your text, it’s likely because the system treats those changes as requiring new audio generation. Even small edits, like adding or removing a comma, can trigger regeneration and consume credits.

To avoid unnecessary credit usage, you can try the following:

  1. Avoid Text Metadata Issues: If you are copying text from another source, use Ctrl+Shift+V (or Command+Shift+V on Mac) to paste the text without formatting. Text metadata can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.

  2. Check Paragraph Status: In the editor, dark gray lines beside paragraphs indicate that the audio has already been generated, while light gray lines mean the paragraph requires regeneration. Ensure you’re not unintentionally regenerating audio.

  3. Use the Free Regeneration Feature: If you’re using the new editor, you can regenerate text twice for free without being charged credits. However, this option is only available if no further changes are made to the text after the initial generation.

If the issue persists, it could be a glitch. Capturing a screen recording of the problem and sharing it with the support team would help them investigate further.

Where is the free regeneration feature

AI-generated Answer for mike_nelson_

The free regeneration feature allows you to regenerate audio up to two times without using additional credits, but it is only available under specific conditions:

  1. The feature is accessible only through the Text-to-Speech section on the website, not in Projects or via the API.
  2. The text, voice, and model must remain unchanged from the original generation.
  3. The first generation must have been made within the last two hours.
  4. The page must not have been refreshed since the original audio generation.

If these conditions are not met, credits will be deducted for each new generation. If you believe the feature isn't working as expected, ensure all the above requirements are satisfied.

Where is the text to speech section, the website is not easy to navigate

If you are losing credits every time you adjust your text and press play, it may be because the free regeneration feature is not being applied. Free regenerations typically appear after the audio is generated, and the "Regenerate" button should indicate that it costs 0 credits for these free regenerations. If this is not visible, it could be due to a recent update or a display issue.

Regarding the Text-to-Speech section, it is usually located in the center of the screen. If you are having trouble navigating the website, it might help to clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using a different browser. Additionally, the interface may have been updated, combining the simple and advanced layouts into a unified design. If you still cannot locate the section, please provide more details or screenshots for further assistance.

On text to speech how can I make it two speakers

To create a Text-to-Speech project with two speakers, you can use the Projects feature. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Add your text to a project in the Projects section.
  2. Separate the text into paragraphs, with each paragraph representing the dialogue of one speaker.
  3. Select a paragraph, and then choose a different voice for that speaker using the toolbar at the top of the editor.

Alternatively, you can use the Auto-Assign Voices feature for a more automated approach. Format your script like this:

<speaker 1=""> Welcome back, everyone! Ready for another deep dive? 
<speaker 2=""> Definitely! Let's get started. 
<speaker 1=""> Great! Today, we're tackling search intent.

The text between the angle brackets will not be read aloud but helps the system assign voices to each speaker. You can adjust the voices later in the sidebar.

Let me know if you need further clarification!
