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

<h3>Usage</h3>

– Add <strong>[readivo]</strong> to the content where you want the player.<br />
– Optional attributes:<br />
  – <strong>Play ID</strong> – use a specific audio recording<br />
  – <strong>Default text</strong> – custom player text</p>
<p>Gutenberg block:<br />
– Add the <strong>Readivo Player</strong> block anywhere in the content.<br />
– Optional settings:<br />
  – <strong>Play ID</strong> – use a specific audio or uploaded MP3<br />
  – <strong>Default text</strong> – custom player text<br />
– If the block is used, automatic insertion is disabled.</p>
<p>Automatic insertion:<br />

– Choose position (top/bottom) and post types.<br />
– Set the date from which posts should include the player.</p>
<p>Per-post control:<br />
– Use the “Readivo” panel in the editor:<br />
  – <strong>Automatically</strong> – follow global settings<br />

– Only one player is rendered per post.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin loads an external JavaScript embed script from:<br />
https://cdn.readivo.app/dist/loader.js</p>
<p>The script renders the Readivo audio player and loads the player endpoint:<br />
https://cdn.readivo.app/player/</p>
<p>What the service is used for:<br />
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 <strong>Play ID</strong>.</p>
<p>What data is sent:<br />
When audio generation is triggered, the following data may be sent to the Readivo API:<br />
– page title<br />
– page URL<br />
– a stable custom identifier (post ID based identifier)<br />
– optionally extracted article text for audio generation</p>
<p>When data is sent:<br />
No data is sent to the Readivo API when the page loads.<br />
Data is sent only when a visitor starts audio playback and the audio for the article needs to be generated.</p>
