Frequently asked questions

What PDF formats does VocalVia support?

We support standard text-based PDFs up to 10MB. Scanned image-only PDFs are not supported yet — the file needs selectable text for accurate extraction.

Can I edit the script before generating audio?

Yes. After upload, VocalVia generates a structured outline and an editable script. You can tighten the wording, adjust sections, and choose voices before spending credits on audio.

How long does it take to convert a PDF to a podcast?

Most PDFs are processed in 2-5 minutes. Outline and script generation take under a minute each; audio synthesis depends on script length.

Will my uploaded PDFs be shared or used to train models?

No. Uploaded files are used only to generate your podcast and are stored in your private workspace. You can delete them at any time.
