Readivo Audio Player allows you to add an audio version of your WordPress posts and pages using the Readivo text-to-speech embed script.
The plugin provides a simple integration with minimal configuration:
• Insert the player manually using the shortcode [readivo] 
• Add the player anywhere in content using the Readivo Player Gutenberg block 
• Automatically insert the player at the top or bottom of posts based on plugin settings 
• Limit automatic insertion to posts published after a selected date 
• Assign a specific audio recording to a post using Play ID 
• Customize player text using Default text 
• Control visibility per post using a dedicated editor panel
The player is rendered dynamically on the frontend and does not modify stored post content in the database. 
Audio playback and processing are powered by the Readivo service.

<h3>Usage</h3>
Manual insertion (shortcode): 
– Add [readivo] to the content where you want the player. 
– Optional attributes: 
 – Play ID – use a specific audio recording 
 – Default text – custom player text
Gutenberg block: 
– Add the Readivo Player block anywhere in the content. 
– Optional settings: 
 – Play ID – use a specific audio or uploaded MP3 
 – Default text – custom player text 
– If the block is used, automatic insertion is disabled.
Automatic insertion: 
– Enable “Automatically insert a player into each article” in Settings -> Readivo. 
– Choose position (top/bottom) and post types. 
– Set the date from which posts should include the player.
Per-post control: 
– Use the “Readivo” panel in the editor: 
 – Automatically – follow global settings 
 – Show player – force display 
 – Hide player – disable player for this post 
– You can also set: 
 – Play ID – assign specific audio to the post 
 – Default text – customize player text
Priority logic: 
– Gutenberg block → shortcode → automatic insertion 
– Only one player is rendered per post.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin loads an external JavaScript embed script from: 
https://cdn.readivo.app/dist/loader.js
The script renders the Readivo audio player and loads the player endpoint: 
https://cdn.readivo.app/player/
What the service is used for: 
Readivo converts article text into audio and provides an audio player that can play the generated audio on the website. It can also be used to play your own audio files or podcasts — simply upload an MP3 file in the Readivo administration and embed it into your article using a Play ID.
What data is sent: 
When audio generation is triggered, the following data may be sent to the Readivo API: 
– page title 
– page URL 
– a stable custom identifier (post ID based identifier) 
– optionally extracted article text for audio generation
When data is sent: 
No data is sent to the Readivo API when the page loads. 
Data is sent only when a visitor starts audio playback and the audio for the article needs to be generated.

<h3>ADVANCED TEXT-TO-SPEECH</h3>
Looking for the best text-to-speech plugin on WordPress?
Using methods like natural language processing (NLP), BeyondWords’ unique text processing algorithms optimally convert your content into speech synthesis markup language (SSML). This enables AI voices to effectively pronounce elements that other platforms can struggle with, such as names, numbers, and dates, as well as filtering out elements that shouldn’t be read aloud. You can even add aliases to ensure everything is read exactly how you want it.
BeyondWords gives you access to neural voices from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure (500+ voices across 140+ language locales).
You can also get access to premium neural voices — voice clones of professional voice actors that are exclusive to BeyondWords. Users have the option to develop a completely bespoke custom voice using our voice cloning service.
The result is naturalistic spoken-word audio content that engages your target audience — at a fraction of the cost of human recordings.
<h3>EFFORTLESS DISTRIBUTION</h3>
BeyondWords makes it easy to reach new audiences and grow your listenership. As well as auto-embedding audio players to your WordPress site, you can embed your audio manually or share via URL. You can even download your audios as mp3 files.
This includes content created automatically with our WordPress text-to-speech plugin, as well as content created manually with the Text-to-Speech Editor — perfect for audio newsletters.
Users can even create custom playlists that keep listeners listening for longer. These can be embedded, shared via URL, or even distributed via podcast feed. That means you can reach audiences through platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
<h3>ANALYTICS AND MONETIZATION</h3>
You get access to project analytics, which means you can track listener engagement at the project level through your BeyondWords dashboard. Users can also get access to audio analytics, as well as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager integrations.
You can even leverage your listenership through audio advertising. Use our self-serve audio advertising feature to create your own campaigns or use VAST (video ad serving template) to connect a programmatic advertising platform, such as Google Ad Manager.
