⚙️ Admin

Pronunciation Queue (Admin)

User-submitted flags awaiting curation. Apply as a per-document rule to fix the audio for everyone.

Most played (Admin)

Ranked by total listening time (truer than taps); avg = minutes per play (stickiness). Your own plays — admin + personal account — are excluded. Aggregate only; no per-user tracking. Guide pre-warming + voice budget here.

Your Listening/AI (Admin)

Your own listening across both your accounts — time + characters listened through (replays included). “Synthesized” = characters your accounts caused Google to voice. This is the one place per-account data is kept, and only for you.

Voices & tiers (Admin)

Each tier has its own monthly free pool, so pre-warming a different tier earns extra free characters. ♀ marks female voices for women-authored works. Copy a voice's command and run it from the project root.

Diagnostics (Admin)

Heartbeat event log + this-month TTS usage, recorded during playback. Copy all to share during drive verification.

Requests & feedback (Admin)

Anonymous "what's missing" submissions + safety-net unmet requests. A demand signal — what users wish Earwise could do.
