Let’s make an example: Let’s say that you start by purchasing a b-5 package.

After the purchase you will have 715 credits on your account. Let's assume that you do not use TAGS, Pronunciation Editor or Premium voices, so that the number of credits required to convert a text is exactly the same as the number of characters in the text. At this point you type a text that is 110 characters long, listen to it and then download it as a sound file. The cost for downloading this file is 110 credits, so after the download 110 credits will be subtracted from your account. You will then have 605 credits left on your account. Then you type a new text that is 435 characters long and download it as a sound file.

435 credits will be subtracted from your account and you will have 170 credits left. If you now purchase a b-30 package, 4750 credits will be added to your account, meaning that you will now have 4920 credit on your account. Now let’s assume that you type a new text of 650 characters but using a premium voice. Xtreme Dance Pad Platinum Software. The cost in credit for downloading this text as audio file is then 1300 credits.

After downloading this text as audio with a premium voice, you will have 3620 credits left of your account.
