Silatus makes it extremely easy to share your content by automatically creating high-quality, natural-sounding podcast episodes from your written blog posts and articles, without the need to manually approve or upload episodes. It also works with any blogging platform or website that supports RSS 2.0 (WordPress, Blogger, etc). You can test it out for free, but you’ll have to refresh the page every 60 seconds to keep testing it (our way of preventing abuse).
We decided to use podcasts instead of an embeddable audio player so that the app would be instantly compatible with any blogging platform that uses RSS. If you’d like to see an embeddable audio player or if you have any other feedback, please let me know! Enjoy :)

You provide a demo and ask for registration, no problem, but asking for the credit card info AFTER the registration without previously telling the user that a credit card will be required is bad and makes me distrust the site.
The page doesn't even tell me that's a paid service.

The prefilled text for the demo should probably indicate you need to enter your own text or the demo will not work.
It would help to mention your abuse protection delay on the webpage.
