Hi @t0m4u,
Thanks for sharing your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about the frustration.
The content length limit you ran into is actually imposed by AWS Polly — not the plugin itself. Polly enforces strict character limits per request, especially when SSML is enabled. If you disable SSML in the plugin settings, you may be able to send longer text, as plain text allows for a higher limit.
That said, I totally get how annoying it is to go through the AWS setup only to hit this wall — and you’re right, this should’ve been explained more clearly. I’ll be updating the FAQ section to highlight this limitation better moving forward.
Just to clarify: even Pro users face the same content limits from AWS (and other TTS providers). The plugin can’t override those provider-side restrictions — it’s a technical constraint, not a locked feature.
If you think that clarification changes your view, I’d really appreciate it if you’d consider updating your review. Either way, thank you again for the feedback — it helps make the plugin better for everyone.
Best,

Mustafa, I appreciate your clarification. However, some other TTS providers seem to circumvent said limitations. I am not an entrepreneurial coder and I do not know how they do it. But I need a TTS plugin that does a bit of heavy lifting for as little cost as possible.
