</code></pre>
<h4>Prerequisites</h4>
<p>This plugin assumes that you are familiar with <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon Web Services</a> and that you have an account. You will need:</p>
<ul>
<li>An Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket.</li>
<li>An IAM user with full access to Polly and read/write access to the S3 bucket.</li>
<li>A key ID and Secret Access Key for the IAM user.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>You can also build this plugin from source. This requires having <a href="https://nodejs.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Node</a>, PHP, and <a href="https://getcomposer.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Composer</a> available on your system.</p>
<ol>
<li>Clone the GitHub repo https://github.com/webinista/webinista-wreadit</li>
<li>From <code>webinista-wreadit</code> directory, run the following commands:
<ol>
<li><code>npm install</code> to install the JavaScript dependencies for the front-end.</li>
<li><code>composer install</code> to install PHP dependencies. You may also need to install the <a href="https://github.com/humbug/php-scoper/blob/main/docs/installation.md#composer" rel="nofollow ugc">php-scoper plugin</a> using <code>composer bin php-scoper require --dev humbug/php-scoper</code>.</li>
<li>Run the <code>build-wreadit-aws3.sh</code> script. This script downloads the latest version of the AWS SDK for PHP, extracts the relevant interfaces and common files, and scopes it to the project’s name space.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Use <code>npm run build</code> to generate the front-end plugin files.</li>
<li>Upload the <code>webinista-wreadit</code> directory to <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Activate the plugin and add your credentials before using.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to Amazon Polly, and Amazon S3. Clicking the <em>Generate Audio Version</em> button sends the following data to Amazon Polly:</p>
<ul>
<li>The title and text of the blog post.</li>
<li>The slug of the blog post.</li>
<li>The <em>display name</em> of the post’s author. (Manage using the <em>Display name publicly as</em> setting on the <em>Edit User</em> screen.)</li>
<li>Your AWS Key ID.</li>
<li>Your Secret Access Key.</li>
<li>The name of your S3 bucket.</li>
</ul>
<p>Read Amazon’s <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/polly/faqs/#topic-2" rel="nofollow ugc">Polly FAQs</a>,<br />
general <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/" rel="nofollow ugc">Data Privacy FAQs</a>, and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">AWS Privacy Notice</a> to understand how Amazon uses your data. Read the <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/" rel="nofollow ugc">AWS Customer Agreement</a> and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">AWS Service Terms</a> to understand your rights and obligations with regard to Amazon’s services.</p>
<p>Amazon Polly requires your Key ID and Secret Access Key in order to authenticate the request. Amazon Polly saves the generated audio file to your S3 bucket.</p>
<p>Webinista WreadIt uses <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/VirtualHosting.html" rel="nofollow ugc">S3’s virtual hosting</a>. URLs for audio files use the pattern shown below, unless you’ve set a custom domain.</p>
<pre><code>https://<bucket name>.s3.<region code>.amazonaws.com/<your optional prefix/><file name>
</code></pre>
<p>For example, if your bucket name is <code>myblogsaudio</code>, your bucket region is <code>us-east-2</code>, and you’ve set a <code>media/</code> prefix, your audio URLs will begin with  <code>https://myblogsaudio.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/media/</code>.</p>
<p>File names begin with the slug of each blog post. Amazon Polly also appends a unique identifier to the name.</p>
<p><em>Audio files must be publicly readable</em> to be available to your listeners.</p>

<h3>ADVANCED TEXT-TO-SPEECH</h3>
<p>Looking for the best text-to-speech plugin on WordPress?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>BeyondWords gives you access to neural voices from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure (500+ voices across 140+ language locales).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The result is naturalistic spoken-word audio content that engages your target audience — at a fraction of the cost of human recordings.</p>
<h3>EFFORTLESS DISTRIBUTION</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>ANALYTICS AND MONETIZATION</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
