## Token Usage in RoboEdit

RoboEdit is a tool that depends heavily on large language models (LLMs) to provide advanced text editing and processing capabilities. 

The system uses **tokens** to process and generate content, and customers are charged based on the number of tokens used. Tokens are a measure of the computational effort required by the LLM to process your text. Certain RoboEdit services, such as OCR scanning, AI proofreading, or generating text-to-speech (TTS), you will consume tokens, which can be paid or provided in monthly allotments.

**One thing that sets RoboEdit apart from other AI services - tokens never not expire**. They roll over month-to-month. This ensures you only pay for what you use, and your credits are persistent.

### Text-to-Speech (TTS) Generation Costs 

There are two types of Text to Speech in RoboEdit, one free, and one paid.

#### Default Browser -  <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Free</mark> &#x20;

It is absolutely free to use Text to Speech using your browser's native TTS or "read aloud" functionalities. Different browsers have different capabilities.

* Chrome
* Edge
* Firefox
* Safari

#### Premium  -  <mark style="background-color:red;">Paid</mark> &#x20;

In addition to text processing, RoboEdit offers text-to-speech (TTS) generation.

**Premium TTS generation rate**: 1 character = 8 tokens

Every character in your text, including spaces and punctuation, is counted toward the total token usage when converting the text into audio.
