Stop Burning Cash: A Financial Analysis of Voice AI at Scale

The standard pricing model in Voice AI is broken. Providers charge per character. This implies that a comma, a pause tag `<break time='5s'/>`, or even metadata costs you money. This incentivizes developers to rush the audio, hurting quality.

The Morvoice Difference: Active Audio Billing

We charge based on the *generated waveform duration*. If your script has a long pause for dramatic effect, we generate silence (which costs us almost nothing compute-wise), so we charge you almost nothing. You pay for the value (speech), not the formatting.

Migration Guide: 10 Minutes to Switch

Our SDK is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the most popular libraries. If you use Python, the switch is trivial.

# OLD (ElevenLabs)
# from elevenlabs import generate, set_api_key
# set_api_key("...")
# audio = generate(text="Hello", voice="Bella")

# NEW (Morvoice)
from morvoice import MorvoiceClient

client = MorvoiceClient(api_key="mv_...")

# We auto-map 'Bella' to our closest neural equivalent 'Bella-Neural'
audio = client.generate(
    text="Hello", 
    voice="Bella", 
    model="mv-turbo-v2"
)

ROI Calculation

For a publishing house converting 50 books a month (avg 100k words):

Legacy Provider Cost: ~$4,500 / month
Morvoice Enterprise:  ~$2,100 / month
---------------------------------------
Annual Savings:       ~$28,800
