Etti Voice

What file formats can I upload? +

PDF, EPUB, DOCX and plain text, plus HTML and MOBI. You can also just paste your text straight in.

How much does it cost? +

You pay per file: $0.06 per minute of audio, with a $1.99 minimum and no cap. All prices are in Australian dollars. A short article is $1.99; longer works cost more, no matter how long — no length limit, no maximum price.

Can I hear it before I pay? +

Yes, and please do. Every voice has a sample, and once you've dropped your file in you can hear a short preview of your own text in the voice you pick. You only pay once you've listened and ticked that you're happy.

How long does my download link last? +

24 hours, then the file is deleted for good. The MP3 you download is yours to keep forever — the time limit is only on our copy.

Do I need an account? +

No. Drop a file in, pay, download. If you give us an email address it's only used to send you your audio link.

Etti Awake

How does buying Etti Awake work? +

It costs $10 AUD, once. You pay by card through Stripe, and your licence key appears on the thanks page and in your inbox. One key covers up to 3 of your computers.

Does it need the internet? +

Only for the few seconds it takes to activate your key. After that it runs completely offline, forever. Nothing is logged, stored or sent anywhere.

What if I get a new computer? +

Reinstalling on the same machine never uses up a slot. If you've run out of slots because you've changed machines, email us and we'll reset your key.

Paying and refunds

Is anything a subscription? +

Never. Everything Etti makes is either pay-per-use (like Voice) or buy-once-keep-forever (like Awake). There is nothing to cancel because nothing renews.

What about refunds? +

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law always apply — if something we sell is faulty or not as described, you're entitled to a remedy and we'll sort it out. For Voice, the free preview is there so you know exactly what you're buying before you pay, so please listen first; a changed mind after a correct conversion isn't usually grounds for a refund, but if the audio is genuinely broken, tell us and we'll fix it or refund it.

Who handles my card details? +

Stripe. Your card number never touches our servers and we never see it.

Privacy

What happens to my uploaded file? +

It's processed on Etti's own server and deleted the moment your audio is ready. We don't read it, keep it, sell it or train anything on it.

Do you track me? +

We don't run analytics or advertising trackers, and we don't build profiles of anyone. We keep only what the law and the tools require — your receipt via Stripe, and your email if you gave us one to send your audio to.

Where does the processing happen? +

On Etti's own server in Australia. Your document isn't handed to a third-party AI service.
