On Edesy IVR, every line spoken with text-to-speech is billed by the characters actually spoken on the call, at Rs 0.50 per 1,000 characters for Standard voices and Rs 2.00 per 1,000 for Premium voices. It is charged pro rata, so a 300-character menu costs Rs 0.15 with a Standard voice and Rs 0.60 with a Premium one. Spaces and punctuation count; leading and trailing spaces do not.
Text-to-speech cost per call = characters x rate per 1,000 / 1,000.
Characters are counted as letters and signs, so Hindi text costs the same per character as English. Uploaded audio recordings have no character charge, and calls are billed separately at Rs 1 per minute. Each call log shows the minutes and characters it was charged for. Prices exclude 18% GST.
Standard voices are the basic voices with "Standard" in their name. Every other voice, including the more natural neural voices, is Premium. Pick the voice in the flow's Config step or on a Say step. See IVR pricing for worked examples.
