⚙️ How the TTS Forge Engine Works: Our Forge architecture is built for developers who need reliability and speed.

TTSForFree uses an asynchronous Text-to-Speech pipeline:

1. You send a job creation request via REST API
2. The system queues it using RabbitMQ
3. A Python worker processes and saves the audio file
4. Once completed, you receive updates via SignalR or Webhook

👉 This architecture ensures low latency and massive scalability, handling thousands of requests in parallel.

🔢 API Quotas & Unlimited Options

To ensure system performance and fair usage among users, TTSForFree applies the following limits:

1. ✏️ Up to 20,000 characters per request
2. 📅 Up to 30,000 characters per month per account
3. ⚙️ When the limit is exceeded, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests or 403 Forbidden.
4. 💾 You can compress or split long text into smaller segments, or use hash caching to reduce repeated requests.
5. 🚀 Upgrade to a commercial plan to increase your quota (contact via email or License page).

✅ Best Practices

1. Split long text into smaller paragraphs before sending
2. Use hash-based caching to save requests for identical content
3. Implement exponential backoff retries for 429 or 5xx errors
4. Use ConnectionId to receive realtime updates through SignalR
