Lama Mani uses a pay-per-audiobook model with transparent, character-based pricing. You only pay when you're ready to download & publish your completed audiobook. Pricing varies based on the voice engine you choose (Standard, Neural, Long-Form or Generative), with costs calculated per character. There are no monthly subscriptions, hidden fees, or upfront costs.

Lama Mani supports a wide range of input formats including Microsoft Word documents (.docx), PDF files, plain text files (.txt) as well as being able to directly paste text for each chapter directly into the tool. Our platform automatically processes and prepares your content for audio conversion, regardless of the input format. We even help identify each Chapter and character in your novel or work to assist you in creating a rich audio book.

The processing time depends on the length of your content and the voice engine selected, as well as numerous factors including individual voices for each character. Generally, a typical chapter (3,000-5,000 words) takes around 5 minutes to process with Standard voices, and 10-15 minutes with Neural or Generative quality narrator voices. Full-length books may take 30 minutes to several hours depending on length and complexity. We alert you when the job is done.

Absolutely! Lama Mani allows you to generate and listen to previews of each chapter in your audiobook at no extra cost. You can test different voices, adjust speed and pitch settings, and ensure you're completely satisfied with the result before making the content ready for final publishing. You only pay when you're ready to download the final, completed audiobook.

Lama Mani offers multiple voice engine options: Standard voices provide clear, natural-sounding narration at the most affordable price point. Neural voices offer enhanced emotional expression and more human-like intonation. Generative voices provide the highest quality with advanced emotional range, natural pauses, and the most lifelike speech patterns. Long-Form voices can generate the correct emphasis, pauses, and tone of a natural voice. The result are narrators that combines the complete range of emotional elements and can mimic surprise or differentiating dialogue from narration. Each engine is priced differently to match the technology and quality level.

Since you can preview your entire audiobook before purchase, we don't offer refunds on completed downloads. However, if you encounter technical issues or quality problems with your audiobook, please contact our support team immediately. We're committed to ensuring you're satisfied with your audiobook and will work with you to resolve any legitimate concerns.
