Simple Text to Speech is a small and easy to use text to speech (TTS) WordPress plugin that uses AI to generate audio versions of your posts and pages.
The plugin supports more than 50 languages and seamlessly integrates with the WordPress Block Editor but it also supports the good old Classic editor.
When the audio has been generated for a post or a page from the Block editor sidebar, an audio player will be displayed automatically at the top of your page, which visitors can listen to. You can also upload audio files from external sources, enabling you to use real human voices if you want. The audio files will appear on top of the page, improving accessibility and user engagement.
