A nice little extension from the community. Agree the price should be lower, but I appreciate the hustle, Seb!

There is a problem that I cannot use when I put the IP key. It gives me that the AIP key is invalid and I am creating the AIP key for elevenlabs and I am sure that it is correct and give all the permissions but it does not work.

Use piper, or other.... want something free... use the elevenlabs reader app on mobile (it doesn't use your API key...) this i don't see the value in the app i am giving it a 1 star because you didn't figure out an option for free tts....
