Nine human-like voices and six export formats

Limitations
–Utilities are capped at two uses per day unless you pay, which is limiting for heavy batch work
–Credits expire one year after purchase and the minimum top-up is $5
–There is no permanent free tier for text to speech — you must buy credits to use it
–Very large utility jobs depend on your own device's memory, so weaker machines can struggle
–Voice selection is nine presets rather than a built-in custom voice cloning studio
