Real Voice is a text-to-speech plugin for WordPress that supports the Web Speech API, Google Text-to-Speech AI, and Azure Text to speech.<\/p>\n\n
A Pro version of Real Voice<\/a> is now available on our website. This upgraded edition includes more text-to-speech converters (other integrations for Amazon Polly and ElevenLabs are available), the ability to make the audio files downloadable by the visitors, customizable audio player placement using a shortcode, and more.<\/p>\n\n The plugin automatically adds an audio player at the beginning of the articles. Note that from the plugin options, you can configure post types on which the audio player should be displayed.<\/p>\n\n We have included a dedicated post sidebar section where you can create a new audio version of the post, update the existing audio version, or delete the audio data.<\/p>\n\n The website administrator, the editor, or other authorized users can at any time access to this area.<\/p>\n\n The plugin adds a new column named \"Audio File\" to the posts menu (and to the admin menu of all the other enabled post types). Here, you can verify if a specific post has its related audio version and if this version is up to date with the post.<\/p>\n\n The plugin generates a custom audio player built with HTML and the browser API. You can customize the style of the player (color, typography, shadows, etc.) using the plugin options.<\/p>\n\n The audio player is responsive, and you can specify the breakpoint used to switch from the desktop to the mobile version with a dedicated option.<\/p>\n\n You can generate the audio version of an article from plain text or SSML.<\/p>\n\n In the case of SSML, the supported tags vary depending on the selected text-to-speech converter.<\/p>\n\n Use the dedicated options to configure the message displayed before (or after) the player. You can set messages like \"Listen to this article\", \"This article is also available in an audio format\", etc.<\/p>\n\n Do you want to use the post title as the first synthesized sentence? Then, use the dedicated settings option to apply this behavior.<\/p>\n\n Get started with the plugin or explore the advanced features with the documentation available in the Knowledge Base<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n This plugin can optionally use third-party services to perform the text-to-speech conversion. If you configure one of these services and perform a text-to-speech conversion using the tools provided by the plugin, the third-party service will charge you according to their terms.<\/p>\n\n The plugin will use the Text-to-Speech AI from Google Cloud<\/a> third-party service to perform the text-to-speech conversion when both these conditions are met:<\/p>\n\n The Terms of Service of the Google Cloud Platform are available in the link below:<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/terms<\/a><\/p>\n\n The plugin will use the Text to speech from Microsoft Azure<\/a> third-party service to perform the text-to-speech conversion when both these conditions are met:<\/p>\n\n Legal information for Text to speech by Microsoft Azure:<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/support\/legal\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n In the contexts described below, the plugin performs a text-to-speech conversion. Note that with a third-party service enabled, this involves sending text\/SSML to the third-party service API (on a remote server) to retrieve the audio data.<\/p>\n\n Text-to-speech conversions are performed when you click the Generate file<\/strong> button in the Audio File<\/strong> post sidebar section. For Classic Editor<\/a> users, the text-to-speech conversions are performed when you click the Generate file<\/strong> button in the Audio File<\/strong> meta box.<\/p>\n\nKey Features<\/h3>\n\n
