FAQ

Do I need an ElevenLabs API key?

You can use either ElevenLabs directly or the Soundpaste service:

ElevenLabs Direct: Requires your own API key from https://try.elevenlabs.io/ogq0axkmu98y. This gives you basic text-to-speech functionality but without advanced features like podcast generation or audio branding.

Soundpaste: Provides extended functionality including podcast generation, audio branding, and enhanced voice processing. You can start with a trial account that includes 10,000 credits for one month. Visit our website for more information about paid plans.

Why do some features require Soundpaste?

Advanced features like podcast generation and audio branding require specialized software for:
– AI-powered podcast script generation
– Audio file stitching and compilation
– Professional audio processing

These capabilities aren’t available on standard web hosting platforms. Soundpaste provides these services through our dedicated infrastructure, so you don’t need to upgrade your hosting plan or install additional software.
