Spoken V1 Release Notes – Official Launch, Integrated Pricing & Payments, Multi-Voice Upgrade, and the Brand Sheds Beta!
Spoken V1 marks a truly defining moment — our official public launch and the transition out of beta. This is the version built for everyone, everywhere, with the stability, features, and polish to back it up and arm authors with the absolute best in AI audio narration.
With V1, we’re introducing an integrated pricing system that gives authors complete flexibility: pay per project when you need us, or subscribe for maximum creative output.
