FAQ

Frequently asked.

Which file formats are supported?

Plain text (.txt), EPUB, and PDF. PDFs must contain selectable text — scanned image-only pages cannot be converted.

How does the free allowance work?

Every device receives 50,000 characters once. Deleting your account does not reset this allowance — we track it per device to prevent abuse.

What happens to my audiobook on the server?

Completed MP3 files are kept on our server for 3 days, then automatically deleted. Use Download to save a copy to Files before then.

Is there a PRO free trial?

Eligible new subscribers receive a 3-day App Store introductory offer with 100,000 characters. After the trial, the paid plan includes 1,000,000 characters per billing period at $7.99/month.

Do unused characters roll over?

Monthly PRO characters reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. One-time character packs add bonus balance that stacks until used.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes — Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancellation stops future renewals; the current period remains usable until it expires.
