The max character is actually 200, not 300 per the [documentation](https://github.com/oscie57/tiktok-voice/wiki/Request-Parameters) `there is a server limit of 200 characters.`
This might be causing the 'error XXX.mp3 file not found' as the app splits based on max_char, and since this is 100 char over the limit the mp3 file never gets created.
