<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 />

“Regenerate Audio” button.</p>

<li>
<p>From version 1.6.6, we added API Key configuration to WordPress settings. To experience the complete range of voices,<br />
<a href="https://responsivevoice.org/register" rel="nofollow ugc">register free and get your API Key</a>. The plugin will still work without it, but<br />
you will be limited to available browser voices.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>It’s Easy – To have the Listen button appear put the following shortcode anywhere in the text of your page or post.<br />
[responsivevoice_button]</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>You can select a voice by using the “voice” parameter, and change the text that appears on the button with the “buttontext” parameter. The following shortcode will read in the US English Female voice, and the button will say “Play”.<br />
    [responsivevoice_button voice=”US English Female” buttontext=”Play”]<br />
A full list of ResponsiveVoice names is available at <a href="https://responsivevoice.org/text-to-speech-languages/" rel="nofollow ugc">Documentation</a>. Default is UK English Female.</p>
<ul>
<li>Read a whole page, or just sections of text – If you don’t want the whole page or post to be read, just surround the salient text with<br />
[responsivevoice]Text you want ResponsiveVoice to read [/responsivevoice]<br />
This tag also supports the voice and buttontext parameters. Additionally, you can place the button after the text (it will be before by default) with the “buttonposition” tag, like so:<br />
[responsivevoice buttonposition=”after”]Text you want ResponsiveVoice to read [/responsivevoice]</li>
</ul>
<p>The shortcodes also allow other parameters. You can adjust the Voice’s pitch, volume and rate with<br />
    [responsivevoice_button rate=”1″ pitch=”1.2″ volume=”0.8″ voice=”US English Female” buttontext=”Play”]</p>

ResponsiveVoice Text To Speech

Not so much on LeapPad or iPhone/Safari. Support was prompt and courteous in responding to my query about this. May be a LeapPad issue rather than an issue with this plugin. For fun, have the Russian voices read the text "moose and squirrel"!

Works great on desktop
