ListenThis AI

Text-to-speech improves SEO ranking and increases your traffic and sales by improving the 
engagements of your readers. It empowers visitors with disabilities and helps other 
readers who prefer listening over reading. It allows readers to listen to your content while 
driving, cooking, doing chores, exercising, walking, etc. So many books have been converted 
into audio books for the same reason. People love to listen.
But let’s face it, most of the text-to-speech audio quality is subpar. They use the default 
voices available in the browser and they are not good. Aren’t you tired of those robotic 
voices? Then there are other plugins that require you to either signup for google cloud/microsoft 
azure/AWS and you face an unknown cost. Not to mention the hassle of navigating those complicated 
pieces of software, setting up the API keys and making sure to pay the cloud bills on time. This is 
why we built ListenThis AI. Also those cloud providers are using the stale models that used to be 
state of the art 5 years ago. The AI world moves fast and those models are now obsolete.
The current state of the art is so good that it sounds human-like, but the thing is, it 
requires GPUs to generate the audio. This is why we generate the audio on our high-end 
GPU-equipped servers, store the audio files on our CDN and serve it to your readers.
Last but not the least, we have the best UI and customer support. You worked so hard and spent 
so much money on making the design of your website, why should you compromise on how the audio 
player looks? You would be surprised to know that many paid text-to-speech plugins are using 
the browser default UI. Here take a look at our audio players and tell me if you can find a 
better looking one.
<h3>How does it work?</h3>
Our plugin automatically puts a audio player at the top of each post before the content.
Whenever you publish a post, our plugin will automatically send that text to our servers which 
will generate the audio files. When you update the post, the text will be updated on our servers 
but the audio file won’t be generated again. So after updates, you need to go to the 
<a href="https://listenthis.ai/dashboard/" rel="nofollow ugc">ListenThis AI Dashboard</a> and click on the 
“Regenerate Audio” button.

The plugin was originally created for <a href="https://davedrapercreations.co.uk/" title="Dave Draper" rel="nofollow ugc">Dave Draper’s</a> website where it is used on the music pages. For an example, please see the page for the <a href="http://davedrapercreations.co.uk/music/the-wild-bunch/" title="The Wild Bunch" rel="nofollow ugc">Wild Bunch album</a> featuring Dave on vocals and bass.
Audio Album uses the default audio capabilities of mediaelement.js included with core WordPress files and enables you to style a group of audio files (MP3 etc) as single block formatted as an album. The colours can be customized in the Audio Album section of the WordPress customizer.
You can display as many Audio Albums as you need on your site, with multiple albums on each page.
<h4>Usage:</h4>
There are two shortcodes that can be used <code>[audioalbum]</code> and <code>[audiotrack]</code>
<pre><code>[audioalbum]
</code></pre>
This shortcode is required and can be used as a header before the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcodes.
<ul>
<li>title</li>
<li>detail</li>
<li>
date
[audiotrack] 
This acts as a wrapper to the WordPress [audio] shortcode so uses the same parameters as the [audio] shortcode, plus the following which are specific to this plugin:
</li>
<li>
title
</li>
<li>width</li>
<li>height</li>
<li>songwriter</li>
<li>buttontext</li>
<li>buttonlink</li>
</ul>
The following attributes can also be used in the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcode in the same way in which they are used in the default WordPress [audio] shortcode:
<ul>
<li>src</li>
<li>mp3</li>
<li>ogg</li>
<li>wma</li>
<li>m4a</li>
<li>wav</li>
<li>loop</li>
<li>autoplay</li>
<li>preload</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example</h4>
<pre><code>[audioalbum title="The Album Title" detail="Some other Details" date="2022"]

[audiotrack title="Song One" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3"]

[audiotrack title="Song Two" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile2.mp3"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Lyrics / other info in a popup window</h4>
There are some additional parameters which can be added to the [audioalbum] shortcode to optionally add a button to allow a visitor to open a link on each audio track to open a page in your site within a popup window.
You need to first create the page, post, or custom post type post and make a note of the post/page id.
There are four parameter/value pairs which can be added to the [audiotrack] shortcode to make a popup link
<ul>
<li>buttonlink</li>
<li>buttontext</li>
<li>width</li>
<li>height</li>
</ul>
Enter the page/post id of the target page as the value for the buttonlink parameter. A button will only be shown when a value is set for the buttonlink parameter.
The buttontext attribute is optional, if no value is specified, the default label of ‘lyrics’ will be shown on the button.
The dimensions of the popup window can also be specified using optional width and height attributes. If no values are given, default values of 520px (width) and 400px (height) will be used.
If your site is using a Genesis child theme, as a little bonus, a landing-page template without a masthead, menus, sidebars or other distractions will be applied to the popup page.
<h4>Example with default ‘lyrics’ button</h4>
<pre><code>[audiotrack title="Song One" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3" buttonlink="808"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Example with custom button and custom popup window dimensions</h4>
<pre><code>[audiotrack title="Song Two" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile2.mp3" buttonlink="909" buttontext="linklabel" width="300" height="500"]
</code></pre>
The parameters used with the standard native WordPress audio shortcode outlined in the codex: <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Audio_Shortcode" title="Audio Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Audio Shortcode</a> page can also be used in the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcode.
