Points to note when using Ondoku plugins
Ondoku allows you to read up to 5000 characters per month for free.
Also, if you use it for free, the audio will be stored on Ondoku's server for 30 days. After 30 days, it will be deleted and you will no longer be able to listen to it.
However, if you subscribe to a paid plan (starting at 200,000 characters/980 yen), the audio will be stored during the subscription period until you delete it.
*If you cancel, you will become a free member and the storage period will be 30 days regardless of when you created it.
Therefore, if you are planning to use Ondoku as a free member and will be using it for a long time, we recommend downloading it and embedding it instead of using a plugin.
If the number of characters that can be read out while using the plug-in runs out, the content of the blog will not be read out.
An error sound saying "The number of characters that can be read out has been exceeded" will be displayed as a player.
Please be careful about the maximum number of characters when using it.
Recently, listening content has also become popular. There is also a demand for people to listen to blogs with their ears rather than read them with their eyes.
Adding a player to your blog that reads out the contents of your articles may help you gain new fans!
Please try Ondoku, a voice reading plugin.
