Faqs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does it cost?

    Tuxpin provides you with 5 narration credits per month for free. 1 narration credit is about 9 minutes of audio - or the length of a typical news article. So you can narrate up to 5 news articles per month with the free plan. If you find that you use Tuxpin regularly, you might consider upgrading your account to Premium, and receive 500 narration credits per month.

  • Is the narration quality any good?

    The narration quality is already quite good, and it is improving every day as the neural text-to-speech quality improves. This is not the droney computer voice you remember from the nineties. Neural text-to-speech has become so good that many people prefer it to the average human narrator. Listen to a sample and judge for yourself.

  • Is there a limit to the number of words in a webpage that can be narrated?

    Tuxpin calculates the number of credits required to narrate a webpage based on the number of spoken words on the page. 1 credit corresponds with approximately 9 minutes of narration. If you attempt to narrate a very long webpage (e.g. a book), then it will just cost you more credits.

  • What languages does Tuxpin support?

    Currently Tuxpin only supports English. If you would like us to support another language, please let us know and we'll look into adding support for it.

  • Which podcast apps is Tuxpin Compatible with?

    In theory, Tuxpin is compatible with any podcast app. When you create an account you receive a private Podcast feed URL that can be added to any podcast app that supports subscribing to feeds by URL. To simplify things, Tuxpin provides one-click links to add your feed to many of the popular podcast apps on both iOS and Android. If your podcast app is not one of these apps, you can simply copy and paste your private feed URL into your podcast app. Tuxpin includes direct links for Apple Podcasts, Castro, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Downcast, and Podkicker. If your podcast app isn't listed here, let us know, and we'll look into adding it. And in the mean time, you can still add your feed manually, as mentioned above.

  • Why does premium subscription cost more on iOS?

    Apple requires all purchases on iOS to go through their in-app purchase, and they charge us up to 30% on all transactions. In order to offset this cost and other issues with the iOS platform, we needed to increase the price on iOS. However, if you subscribe on the website or in the Android app, you'll still be able to use the premium subscription from your iOS device.

  • Can I listen to narrations directly in the Tuxpin app, without needing to use my Podcast app?

    Yes you can. However, the audio-playing features of the Tuxpin app are currently very basic. The intention is for you to use your Podcast app because it will provide the optimal listening experience.

  • Why isn't Tuxpin showing up in the list of "Share" targets in my app on iOS?

    Tuxpin will be listed as a share target only when a webpage URL is shared. Some apps instead share a different type of media (e.g. The title of the webpage) when you select "Share". In cases like this, the easiest thing to to is to either open the URL in Safari (if your app has this function), or copy and paste the URL directly into the "Narrate" field of the Tuxpin app.
