Usage Rights: Your subscription grants you exclusive rights to use the messages you create within the phone system or contact center associated with your subscription.

Text-To-Speech: Any message generated using text to speech that does not contain music, can be used indefinitely in your system.

Music: Your Music License is valid as long as your subscription is active.

  What happens if I cancel my Phonzai subscription?

If you decide to cancel your Phonzai subscription, here’s what you need to know:

Account Access: Your account will remain accessible until the end of your current plan term. Once your plan ends you will no longer be able to create Phonzai messages. You will have 30 days from the end of your term to download your message files.

Message License: Messages without music can be used in your system indefinitely.

Music License: Your music license is valid as long as your subscription is active. If you cancel your subscription, you must remove all messages containing music from your phone system and delete any saved copies of these messages by the end of your subscription term.

  Can I update phone greetings across multiple locations at once?

Yes — Phonzai is built for scale. Use batch editing to update dozens or hundreds of messages at once. Select all messages in a project, assign voices, add music, and generate everything in bulk. Project Sheets let you manage scripts in a spreadsheet and import them directly.

  How does AI text-to-speech compare to professional voice recordings for phone systems?

AI text-to-speech (Phonzai) lets you create and update messages instantly — ideal for businesses that change messaging frequently or need content in multiple languages. Professional voice recordings (RealVoice) deliver a warm, natural sound from 150+ studio voice talents. Many businesses use both: Phonzai for messages they update often (promotions, seasonal content, IVR prompts) and RealVoice for their primary greeting and brand-defining messages. See our Buyer’s Guide for a full comparison of all your options.
