Do you not know of character meaning, for example, a single letter?

I believe that's exactly what he means with "text characters".. as in a character (or letter) of some text.

“Costs 1000 characters for every minute of audio” suggests this is not about the text characters in the sample. It makes it sound like a form of digital credit.

  Definitely a form of credit. Of course it seems to be rather obtuse but it's still possible to make some sense of it given the information on their pricing page. The definitely-most-popular Creator price point is 100,000 "characters" for $22, meaning, according to the FAQ, 100 minutes of audio listening costs $22. Not sure why they can't just say "100 listening minutes" or whatever. Though I just noticed they also claim that the 100k characters is ~120 minutes of audio but 30k is 30 minutes of audio. I'm not sure where they're getting their numbers but it looks like they're either being dishonest about the former or underselling the latter.

Because this part of the product is per minute, but the other (and earlier) one is charged per character of text. > Though I just noticed they also claim that the 100k characters is ~120 minutes of audio but 30k is 30 minutes of audio.

It's just a very rough estimate, the comparison points are "about 10 minutes, about half an hour, about 2 hours". I think that would be clearer if it said ~2 hours.

I know that meaning, as well as the meaning from stories. What I don't know is what this has to do with removing background noise from audio.

  Ah I see. Have a look at the pricing page then: https://elevenlabs.io/pricing https://elevenlabs.io/pricing Everything else they bill in characters, so that's the "currency" customers have. It works out I think as costing roughly the same per minute as generating audio.
