## Description
Text to Voice adds a **“Convert text to voice (MP3)”** button to the WordPress post
editor. One click sends the article text to an AI text‑to‑speech service, saves
the resulting MP3 in your Media Library, and shows an audio player at the top of
the published article so visitors can listen instead of read.
**Features**
* One‑click narration from the post edit screen.
* Choose your AI voice provider — **Google Cloud**, **Microsoft Azure** and **ElevenLabs**
built in, plus a `bsktv_providers` filter so developers can add their own.
* MP3 is stored in the WordPress Media Library (no third‑party hosting).
* Choose where the player appears: above the article, below it, after the first
paragraph, or place it anywhere with the `[bsktv_player]` shortcode.
* Choose from three player designs — Minimal, Card, or Accent — with a customizable
label and accent colour.
* Choose your default voice and model, and cap the narration to the first N words
to control cost.
* Long posts are split into chunks and recombined automatically.
* Works with any public post type that uses the editor.
**Lightweight & theme‑friendly.** The player inherits your theme’s fonts (no extra
web‑fonts), keeps the native audio control for cross‑browser reliability, scopes
all styles to `.bsktv-*` in one small inline stylesheet loaded only on single posts,
and themes all three designs from a single accent colour.
#### External services
This plugin sends data to a third‑party AI text‑to‑speech service **only when you
click “Convert text to voice”** — it sends the post’s text content and your API
key to the provider you selected in the settings, and receives an MP3 in return.
No data is sent otherwise. An account and API key with the chosen provider are required,
and usage is billed by that provider.
Supported providers:
* **Google Cloud Text-to-Speech** — API `https://texttospeech.googleapis.com`.

* **Microsoft Azure Speech** — API `https://.tts.speech.microsoft.com`.

## Installation
1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to **Settings Text to Voice**.
3. Choose your **Voice provider**, then enter its **API key** and a default **Voice
ID**. Optionally set the Model ID and a word limit.
4. Edit a post, open the **Text to Voice** box in the sidebar, and click **Convert
text to voice (MP3)**.
5. The MP3 is generated, added to the Media Library, and a player appears on the published
article.
## FAQ
### Which AI providers are supported?
Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and ElevenLabs out of the box, and developers can
add more via the `bsktv_providers` filter. You use your own provider API key, and
generation is billed by that provider. Google and Azure both offer large recurring
free tiers; ElevenLabs has the most lifelike voices.
### Where are the MP3 files stored?
In your WordPress Media Library (your own server). Re‑generating a post replaces
its previous narration.
### Can I limit how much of the article is narrated?
Yes. Set a **Word limit** in the settings (for example 1000). Set it to 0 for no
limit.
### Which languages are supported?
The default model `eleven_flash_v2_5` is fast, low‑cost and supports 32 languages.
For the most lifelike voice you can switch the Model ID to `eleven_multilingual_v2`
in the settings.
