A: Hi,

Thanks for the great questions — happy to clarify:

1) What is 1 credit (AI / Non-AI)?
GSpeech usage is calculated by characters (letters, spaces, punctuation).

Non-AI credits: 1 credit = 1 character.

AI credits: also based on characters, but some premium / ultra-realistic AI voices cost more to generate, so they use a multiplier (ratio) per voice/model. This is how we can offer many different voice engines at very different provider costs. We are going to introduce 30+ new voices for each language and 100+ new voice vibes, which will make this credit system even more relevant and valuable.

2) How does GSpeech “crawl” the page, and how do you exclude sidebars etc.?
GSpeech doesn’t blindly crawl your whole website. You control what it reads using Content Selectors:

You can tell it exactly where your article content lives (for example: #content, #main, .post-content, etc.).

You can also exclude elements (sidebar, menus, buttons, ads, etc.) using Exclude selectors / CSS classes (e.g. add a class like nospeech to anything you want ignored).

So it reads only what you define as the main content, and skips excluded parts.

3) What happens when I edit the page text? Do I need to re-feed it?
No manual re-feeding is needed. If the page content changes, GSpeech will automatically regenerate the audio for that page (so the audio always matches the latest text). suggest the best selector setup for it.

Thanks! :)
