Usage Limits

Only audio spoken by AllReads Voices. Those run on servers we pay for, so they are the only thing there is a reason to meter.

None of the following count toward the limit:

• Your own API key. If you listen with OpenAI or xAI, that synthesis is billed to your provider account, not ours. There is nothing of ours to ration, so it is unlimited.
• The browser voice. It speaks on your device and never reaches us.
• Reading. Saving, importing, highlighting, notes and the library itself are unlimited on every plan. This is a limit on speech, not on how much you keep or read.

On the 1st of every month, for everyone — not on the date you subscribed. Unused words do not roll over, and there is no way to spend next month’s early.

Nothing is deleted, nothing is charged, and your library is untouched. AllReads Voices pause until the 1st. The browser voice keeps working, and so does your own API key if you have one saved — so you can keep listening either way.

We will never bill you for going over without asking first. If you genuinely need more, write to us before you get there and we will sort something out.

The limit exists to stop a handful of uses that would make a flat price impossible for everyone else — not to ration reading. Specifically, AllReads Voices are for a person listening to their own material. They are not for:

• Reselling, redistributing, broadcasting or publishing the generated audio.
• Bulk or automated conversion — scripts, pipelines, or feeding a catalogue through the app.
• Sharing one account between several people.

Where an account is clearly doing one of these, we may limit the included voices on it. We would rather write to you first, and we will where we can.

If you rely on text-to-speech for a disability and 500,000 words a month is not enough, email allreadshq@gmail.com and we will raise it at no extra cost. You do not need to prove anything to us; just ask.

If this limit ever changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it, and anyone affected gets an email — not a quiet edit.
