Every generation made on the Text to Speech page is kept. When you finish this page you will know how to find a generation in the **History** list, play it again in the player and save it as a file, without spending any credits. ## What you need - A workspace you belong to. **History** lists every generation made from the portal in the workspace. - At least one generation. Until then the list reads **Nothing yet.** and **Press Generate. Each one lands here with its voice, its length and a download.** ## Steps ### Step 1: Open the History section **History** is the section below the writing area on the Text to Speech page. Scroll down to it, or click **All in Assets →** at its top right to open the **Assets** page instead. The list loads the newest generations as the page opens. ### Step 2: Find the generation Items are listed newest first. Each item shows the text that was spoken, then the voice's name, its dialect, its length and the date and time it was made, for example `15 Sep, 15:42`. A generation that has not finished shows **Processing**, and one that did not work shows **Failed**. The search box, **Search what you made**, narrows the items already loaded as you type. It matches the text of the generation, the voice's name and its dialect. The list shows 8 items at a time. Click **Load more** to fetch the next 8. The button is hidden while the search box holds text. ### Step 3: Play it again Click the item's orb, or its **Play** button. The player opens at the bottom of the page, loads that generation and starts playing; the button turns into **Pause** while it plays. Click again to pause. The writing area is not changed, so the text you are working on stays where it is. ### Step 4: Download it Click **Download** on the item. The file is saved as `speech-` followed by the generation's identifier and `.wav`, the same file the player's **Download** gives you. See [Formats, quality and download](/docs/playground/formats-quality-download). ## Worked example Yesterday at 15:42 you generated a product announcement with a Fusha voice, downloaded it, and today you need the file again. 1. Open the Text to Speech page and scroll to **History**. 2. Type a few words of the announcement in **Search what you made**, or find the item that shows that voice's name and the date and `15:42`. If it is not among the first 8 items, click **Load more**. 3. Click **Play** to confirm it is the right take; the player at the bottom of the page plays it while the text you are writing now stays put. 4. Click **Download**. The file `speech-.wav` is saved, and nothing is charged. ## What happens next - Replaying and downloading are free. Only the original generation was charged. - A new generation appears at the top of the list when it finishes. Other members see it the next time they open the page. - To make the same audio again, copy the text from the item, paste it into the writing area and click **Generate**. This is a new generation and is charged like any other. The **Assets** page shows only the start of the text, so keep your own copy of any text you may want to generate again. ## Limits | Limit | Value | Applies to | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | Items per load | 8 | The **History** list | | What is listed | Every generation made from the portal in the workspace | The **History** list and the **Assets** page | | What is not listed | Generations made through the API | The **History** list | | Removing an item | **Delete** in the **History** list or on the **Assets** page; final | The **History** list and the **Assets** page | | Time limit | None; items stay until you delete them | The **History** list | ## Troubleshooting ### The list reads Nothing yet No generation has been made in this workspace from the portal yet. Generate one; it appears at the top of the list when it finishes. ### An item plays but the text in the writing area is different Replaying does not load the item's text into the writing area. Copy the text from the item and paste it into the writing area to generate it again, which is charged. ### Load more does not appear Every item is already listed, or the search box holds text. The button only shows while there are more items to fetch. ### Download opened a new tab instead of saving a file The file could not be prepared in the page; a notification titled **Error** appeared as well. Close the tab and click **Download** on the same item again. ### A generation I saw a moment ago is missing The list shows what has been loaded so far. Reload the browser page; the list then shows the newest 8 items again. ### Delete did not work A notification says why. **Still processing. Delete it once it finishes.** means the generation has not finished yet. **Only the person who made this, or a workspace admin, can delete it.** means you made neither the generation nor are an admin. **This was not deleted. Try again.** means the request failed; click **Delete** again. ## FAQ ### Who can see my generations? Every member of the workspace. **History** is shared across the workspace, not kept per person. ### How long do items stay? Until you delete them. Every generation stays listed until then. ### Can I delete a generation? Yes. Press **Delete** on it in the **History** list or on the **Assets** page, then confirm at **Delete for good?** with **Delete**, or press **Keep** to cancel. Deletion is final. Only the person who made a generation or a workspace admin can delete it. ### Does replaying cost credits? No. Only a new generation is charged. ### Why is an API generation not listed? The list shows generations made from the portal only. Generations made with an API key are listed under the key's request log; see [Request logs](/docs/developers/request-logs). ## Related - [Generate speech](/docs/playground/generate-speech): making a new generation - [Formats, quality and download](/docs/playground/formats-quality-download): the file you get from **Download** - [Limits and credits](/docs/playground/tts-limits-and-credits): what is charged and what is free - [Request logs](/docs/developers/request-logs): where API generations are listed
