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

<pre><code>[podlove-web-player
  theme="default"
  config="default"
  title="My episode title"
  subtitle="Episode Subtitle"
  poster="/files/path/to/poster.png"
  chapters="/files/path/to/chapters.json"
  transcripts="/files/path/to/transcripts.json"
  playlist="/files/path/to/playlist.json"
  src="http://mysite.com/mymedia.mp3"
  size="1337"
  show="My show title"
  duration="03:33"
]
</code></pre>
<p>Use an existing post with a media enclosure that is provided from plugins like Blubrry:</p>
<pre><code>[podlove-web-player
  theme="default"
  config="default"
  post="1234"
]
</code></pre>
<p>Or in case you have our <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/podlove-podcasting-plugin-for-wordpress/" rel="ugc">Podlove Publisher</a> installed:</p>
<pre><code>[podlove-web-player
  theme="default"
  config="default"
  publisher="1234"
]
</code></pre>
<h4>2 Using WordPress Gutenberg Blocks</h4>
<p>You can choose between different references, like Podlove Publisher, Blocks or you can add the meta data manually. Right now the latter option is limited to a limited set of attributes, this will be expanded in further releases.</p>
<h4>3 Automatic Integration with Podcasting Engines</h4>
<p>If you are using Podlove Publisher you should be able to select it in the Publisher Player settings.<br />
In case you are still using Blubrry you can simply enable the automatic insertions on enclosures in the settings and choose the position.</p>
<h3>Help & Support</h3>
