The Cloud voice

First listen with the cloud voice: with no plan, if you are signed in with a Account and still have your gift minutes, the first "Listen" starts once with the Cloud voice by itself. A thin strip under the reader says " Cloud voice · 9 free min left"; in the last 2 minutes it becomes "Your free cloud voice ends in 2 min". "Device voice" on the strip moves reading to the free device voice from the same sentence; after that the voice doesn't change by itself. When the gift runs out, reading continues with the device voice and a "Your free cloud voice is used up" card appears: "Try 7 days free" opens the plans screen (a 7-day trial on the yearly plan; no charge if you cancel before it ends), and "Continue with device voice" or the cross closes the card. If you aren't signed in, a one-time bar appears on the first "Listen" offering the first 10 minutes with the natural Cloud voice as a gift if you sign in, with a "Sign in" button.

The "Hear the difference" card: with no plan, after 3 minutes in total of listening with the device or Piper voice, a card appears once under the reader offering to play the same sentence with the natural Cloud voice. "Listen with Cloud" reads the current sentence with the cloud voice (a few seconds of trial minutes); then "Continue with Cloud" switches to the cloud voice using the 10-minute gift, while "Stay with device voice" or the cross never shows the card again. If you aren't signed in, the button opens the "Sign in and claim the gift" card on the plans screen. The trial allowance doesn't change; it is just offered after you've heard the difference. If the first listen already started with the cloud voice, this card doesn't appear.

Eight natural narrator voices (four female: Kore, Sulafat, Aoede, Leda; four male: Charon, Orus, Achird, Puck) with studio-quality intonation. No key or account setup needed; only the text being read is sent to Cloud, and it isn't stored. The cloud voice reads paragraph by paragraph, highlighting the paragraph and word being read.

The "Cloud voice left this month: … min" line shows in Settings › Voice and on the account card. When the minutes run out, you can buy an add-on pack or switch to the device voice.
