DeepSeek sets separate file and voice API usage rates

DeepSeek’s newly opened file parsing and OCR APIs cost $0.225 per 1,000 pages. Text to speech lists $0.45 per 10,000 characters and speech recognition $0.116 per hour, each temporarily half price at $0.225 and $0.058 respectively. These fees add to model-token charges; DeepSeek gives no verified end date for the promotion. Search and Fetch rates were already announced in October.
