We may need to ask for a monthly license fee – I will have to check on this. Is that something that you would be able to fit into your budget?

Free to play, but to get some options/items players would need to pay. Xavier.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you plan to monetize the free game? Our pricing model typically works off the number of words converted, and with user generated content, that can build very quickly.

How much speech do > you need to convert (time, words, etc)? What languages and voices do > you require? Sure - it's a free software Web game, where the player has the role of a secret agent. We would use the voices to give instructions to the player, and walk him through the mission. At the beginning, the volume of words would be low (about 1.5K/2K words / mission, we currently have 8 missions). But if the concept is validated, it would likely increase a lot - especially because we plan to let the players create their own missions. Xavier.
