<p>Sibillo Audio turns your WordPress posts into natural-sounding audio, so visitors can listen to your articles instead of reading them. Speech is generated in the cloud by the external WPVoicer.com text-to-speech service: an administrator explicitly selects a post and requests generation, and the completed MP3 is downloaded to the site’s WordPress Media Library.</p>
<p>The plugin also provides local features that remain available when the WPVoicer.com account is disconnected:</p>
<ul>
<li>Audio Library for previously generated MP3 files</li>
<li>Local audio playback and play counts</li>
<li>Shortcode and page-builder audio fields</li>
<li>Podcast management and locally generated RSS feeds</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Generate speech from WordPress post content</li>
<li>Select languages and standard or premium cloud voices</li>
<li>Upload a voice sample when voice cloning is enabled for the connected service account</li>
<li>Store generated MP3 files in the WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Embed audio with <code>[sibillo_audio_audio]</code></li>
<li>Use audio fields with Elementor, Bricks, and Breakdance</li>
<li>Build podcast feeds from posts that already contain generated audio</li>
<li>Manage local audio and podcast feeds while disconnected</li>
</ul>
<h4>External service and pricing</h4>
<p>Cloud generation requires a WPVoicer.com account and available service credits or an eligible service plan. Introductory credits may be included with a new service account. Additional credits and cloud capabilities are offered by WPVoicer.com.</p>
<p>The WordPress plugin code is free and fully available under the GPL. Payment applies only to cloud processing and service capacity supplied by WPVoicer.com. The plugin does not download premium code or executable updates from the service. Existing local MP3 files, playback, Audio Library and podcast features are not removed when cloud generation is unavailable.</p>

<ol>
<li>Install and activate Sibillo Audio.</li>
<li>Open Sibillo Audio > Connection and connect a WPVoicer.com account.</li>
<li>Configure a voice under Voice Settings.</li>
<li>Edit a post and explicitly request audio generation.</li>

<h3>Third Party Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the external WPVoicer.com Software-as-a-Service platform. The service performs text-to-speech generation, voice previews, speaker-list retrieval, account and usage requests, and custom voice processing.</p>
<p>The plugin does not contact WPVoicer.com merely because it is installed, activated, deactivated, or loaded. Requests are made when an administrator performs an action that requires the service, including registration, login, loading service voice data, previewing a voice, checking account usage, uploading or deleting a custom voice sample, generating audio, polling a requested job, downloading generated audio, or opening an authenticated dashboard link.</p>
<h4>Data sent to WPVoicer.com</h4>
<p>Depending on the requested action, the plugin may send:</p>
<ul>
<li>Account credentials or connection data entered by the administrator</li>
<li>Site URL and site identifier used to associate the connection</li>
<li>Selected post ID, title and text for requested speech generation</li>
<li>Language, voice, provider, speed and generation parameters</li>
<li>A custom voice sample when the administrator explicitly uploads one</li>
<li>Job identifiers used to retrieve generation status and audio</li>
<li>Plugin, WordPress and PHP versions as part of authenticated service requests</li>
</ul>
<h4>Local data</h4>
<ul>
<li>Generated MP3 files are downloaded to the site’s Media Library.</li>
<li>Audio references, settings and play counts are stored in WordPress options or post metadata.</li>
<li>Podcast RSS feeds are generated locally from WordPress posts and local audio.</li>
<li>Existing local audio and podcast functionality remains available after disconnection.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Service links</h4>
<ul>
<li>Service: https://www.wpvoicer.com/</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://www.wpvoicer.com/terms/</li>

DAEXT

<p>Real Voice is a text-to-speech plugin for WordPress that supports the Web Speech API, Google Text-to-Speech AI, and Azure Text to speech.</p>
<h3>Pro Version</h3>
<p>A <a href="https://daext.com/real-voice/" rel="nofollow ugc">Pro version of Real Voice</a> is now available on our website. This upgraded edition includes more text-to-speech converters (other integrations for Amazon Polly and ElevenLabs are available), the ability to make the audio files downloadable by the visitors, customizable audio player placement using a shortcode, and more.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<h4>Automatically Add the Audio Player</h4>
<p>The plugin automatically adds an audio player at the beginning of the articles. Note that from the plugin options, you can configure post types on which the audio player should be displayed.</p>
<h4>Manually Generate the Audio Files</h4>
<p>We have included a dedicated post sidebar section where you can create a new audio version of the post, update the existing audio version, or delete the audio data.</p>
<p>The website administrator, the editor, or other authorized users can at any time access to this area.</p>
<h4>Monitor the Presence and State of the Audio Files</h4>
<p>The plugin adds a new column named “Audio File” to the posts menu (and to the admin menu of all the other enabled post types). Here, you can verify if a specific post has its related audio version and if this version is up to date with the post.</p>
<h4>Customizable HTML Audio Player</h4>
<p>The plugin generates a custom audio player built with HTML and the browser API. You can customize the style of the player (color, typography, shadows, etc.) using the plugin options.</p>
<h4>Responsive Audio Player</h4>
<p>The audio player is responsive, and you can specify the breakpoint used to switch from the desktop to the mobile version with a dedicated option.</p>
<h4>Supports Plain Text and SSML</h4>
<p>You can generate the audio version of an article from plain text or SSML.</p>
<p>In the case of SSML, the supported tags vary depending on the selected text-to-speech converter.</p>
<h4>Add Additional Text Before or After the Player</h4>
<p>Use the dedicated options to configure the message displayed before (or after) the player. You can set messages like “Listen to this article”, “This article is also available in an audio format”, etc.</p>
<h4>Optionally Read the Post Title</h4>
<p>Do you want to use the post title as the first synthesized sentence? Then, use the dedicated settings option to apply this behavior.</p>
