Limitations on Guest users
In order to prevent service abuse as well as some recent change in our TTS provider (*), there are some limitations on Guest users. Please register an account & login to get more quota, or subscribe to a paid package.
Else you can try our new feature speech synthesis reader (a solution totally based on your browsers' TTS without enhancements)
(*)We used to use a SpeechConverter & gave the text reader service to our users (including Guest users) freely for years. And then they were asking more & more money, requiring us to buy more & more licenses, giving many constraints, many limitations that we could find nowhere in their pricing page.
(*)Therefore, we found no choice but have to remove their service usage completely and develop & use a custom SpeechConverter that will be available for registered users and Guest users with limitations. If you prefer a guest service without any limitation, please use our new feature speech synthesis reader as mentioned above.
(*)For the speech synthesis reader feature, we now support a RecordNew functionality! Checkout the Youtube video below to know more.
