Alibaba Cloud Model Studio:Speech synthesis - Qwen

International (Singapore)

Billing is based on the number of input characters. The calculation rules are as follows:

• Each Chinese character (including simplified/traditional Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja) is counted as 2 characters.

• Each other character, such as an English letter, a punctuation mark, or a space, is counted as 1 character.
