What counts as a minute?
A minute of finished narration. A 12-minute episode uses 12 minutes of your balance. A typical article comes out at about 9 minutes; a long feature can run to 45 or more.
Do unused minutes roll over?
No. Your plan’s minutes, and the free allowance, reset each month. If you often run short, a top-up or the next plan up is the better fit.
What happens when I run out?
Anything you send is saved to your account instead of being turned away. Once you top up or upgrade, the saved articles are narrated, oldest first.
Is there a free trial of Premium?
There’s no separate trial. Every new account gets 60 minutes when it signs up, then 30 minutes every month, so you can try ttsCast properly before paying for anything.
Can I pay on the web?
No. Paid plans and top-ups are bought in the ttsCast iPhone app, through the App Store. Your minutes work everywhere you use ttsCast, including the web app, the Chrome or Firefox extension and your podcast feed.
