AI Text-to-Speech
AI text-to-speech converts written text into natural-sounding audio. Oakgen provides 150+ professionally-tuned voices in 29 languages using ElevenLabs v3 and MiniMax Speech HD — distinguishable from human narration in blind tests less than 30% of the time.
Key fact
ElevenLabs v3 handles punctuation, ALL CAPS emphasis, and asterisks for stage directions — you control pacing and emotion with text formatting alone.

Frequently asked questions
How much does AI text-to-speech cost?
About 1 credit per 30 characters (~$0.004). A 5-minute narration costs around 30 credits ($0.12). The free tier includes 1,000 credits — roughly 50 minutes of generated speech.
Can the AI pronounce names and technical terms?
Yes. Use the phonetic spelling trick ('Kubernetes' → 'koo-ber-NET-eez') or the pronunciation dictionary on the Pro plan for brand-specific terms.
Do I need a separate ElevenLabs subscription?
No. ElevenLabs v3 is included in your Oakgen plan alongside image, video, and music generation — one credit pool covers all of it.
