Moving off Patreon for new subscriptions
Added 2021-06-22 15:15:47 +0000 UTCto all fans,
going forward, there will be a new way of subscribing to AwesomeTTS Plus / Language Tools.
The biggest issue with patreon is that people get charged once, then charged again at the beginning of the month. If you sign up towards the end of the month, you get charged twice within a few days. In the new system, you only get charged when your subscription renews. You can cancel/upgrade/downgrade anytime.
You can see the plans for the new subscription system here: https://languagetools.anki.study/plans
You can stay on Patreon and your API key will continue to work. However note that there will be a limit of 250,000 character requests per month starting in July. I have to put this in place to balance out revenue from Patreon vs Azure/Google/Amazon API and server costs, to avoid raising the base subscription price for everyone.
You can check your current usage in AwesomeTTS configuration -> AwesomeTTS Plus -> Account Info. In Language Tools, you can see it in Tools menu -> Language Tools: Verify API Key & Account Info.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach me on patreon or at awesometts@airpost.net
