Thanks Geoah!

I'd love to hear more feedback once you use it enough.

Haha. Part of me is too scared to ask. But I think that's the only way to know. Yes I'll ask them over the weekends.

Hi guys,

Some context:

- What my product does? It converts web articles into audio (text-to-speech) with quite a natural voice. Then send it to a private podcast feed, that users can listen on almost any podcast app.

- Since I introduced payment feature, about a week ago, No one has paid for it yet. Currently, I have about 300 users signed up, About 200 of them add at least one article (to try out), about 20 - 30 users coming back from times to times

- My major cost comes from TTS API I used to convert articles to audio, roughly 16$/ 1,000,000 characters.

- I can charge based on number of words, or duration of converted audio, but I wanted to make it easier for my users, so I just charge base on number of article. And I also want to make it a peace of mind for users so I use one-off payment basis.

Here are link to my product: https://sendtopod.com

Would love to hear your thought on whether this is too expensive. And why do you think so?

To put this on perspective: My closest competitor is https://audioread.com/ and they charging for $5 for 5 HD audio hours.

(Sorry for adding the link directly to the post, I wanted it to show up in "Ask HN" but it's not very obvious to me how )

Hey Jejones, you can still enjoy the experience by playing with NFL and Push app.

Thanks.
