Method and worked example
Finished minutes = scripts × languages × words ÷ pace. Generation characters and minutes include the retake multiplier. Estimated credits = generated characters × entered credits per character; cost uses your rate per 1,000 credits.
What this result can tell you
Character billing applies only if your chosen provider mode uses it. Dubbing, voice agents, taxes, subscriptions and differing translated lengths need separate estimates. Obtain voice rights before production.

Common questions
Why does the credit estimate say unknown?
Enter the current credits-per-character rate for your exact mode. Different products and models can use different billing units.
Are all retakes free?
Do not assume so. Budget the extra generated material and verify your provider's current regeneration rules.
