## Description

Auvrenth Text-to-Speech Reader adds a listen button to your posts and pages. Visitors
press play and the article is read aloud by the voices already built into their 
browser.

 * No API key, no account and no monthly cost.
 * No audio files stored on your server.
 * Play, pause, stop and speed control.
 * Uses a voice that matches your site language when the browser has one.
 * Set a default language and voice, and test it right from the settings screen.
 * Visitors can switch the language and voice in the player, and their choice is
   remembered.
 * Choose the post types, and show the player before or after the content.
 * Hide the player on single posts, or place it anywhere with the `[auvrenth_tts]`
   shortcode.

The player only appears in browsers that support speech synthesis, which covers 
all current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox.

#### Shortcode

Add `[auvrenth_tts]` to a post or page, or to a Shortcode block, to show the player
exactly where you want it. It reads the post it is placed in.

 * Works on any post type, even ones not ticked under “Show on” in the settings.
 * When a post contains the shortcode, the automatic player is skipped there, so
   the player never shows twice.
 * Set “Player position” to “Only where I add the [auvrenth_tts] shortcode” to turn
   off automatic placement everywhere and use the shortcode only.
 * The shortcode shows nothing when the player is hidden for that post in the editor,
   or when the post is password protected.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `auvrenth-text-to-speech-reader` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or
    install it from the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Open Auvrenth Reader in the admin menu to choose where the player appears.

## FAQ

### Does it need an API key?

No. Speech is generated by the visitor’s browser, so nothing is sent to an outside
service.

### Why does the voice sound different on another device?

Each browser and operating system ships its own voices, so the voice depends on 
the visitor’s device.

### How do I place the player in a different spot?

Add the `[auvrenth_tts]` shortcode where the player should appear. To use it in 
a theme template, call `<?php echo do_shortcode( '[auvrenth_tts]' ); ?>` inside 
the loop and set “Player position” to the shortcode-only option, so the automatic
player does not show as well.

### Can I change what is read aloud?

Yes. Use the `auvrenth_tts_text` filter to change the text for any post.
