mazdek AI

Description

mazdek AI brings Kurdish voice and language tools to WordPress.

Listen to every article

• A clean, accessible listen button on your posts, in Kurmancî, Soranî or Kirmanckî.
• Choose the voice: browse the full voice catalogue in the plugin, filter by gender and style and press ▶ to hear a sample.
• All posts or only some: read every post, only the categories you pick, or all except some. Every post can override the rule in the editor.
• Audio is made once per article and served to every visitor. When you edit a post, the new text gets new audio.
• Generate automatically when a post is published, or only when the first visitor presses play.
• Audio for your archive: read all published posts, or only some categories and a period. See how many posts, characters and roughly what it costs before you start; it runs in the background in small batches and can be paused, resumed or stopped.
• Optional: keep a copy of every audio file in your media library, so the player plays it from your own server.
• A beautiful player: waveform you can click and drag, 15 s back/forward, speed, “continue where you left off”, a mini player that follows the reader while scrolling, and lock-screen/headphone controls on phones.
• Make it yours: full or compact layout, light/dark/automatic theme, your brand color, corner style and button text — with a live preview while you choose.
• Player above or below the post, or exactly where you put [mazdek_player]. Right-to-left layout for Soranî.
• Monthly character limit to keep your spending under control.

Rastnivîs in the editor

• While you type, mistakes are underlined right in the text (like a word processor); click a word to see suggestions and fix it with one click, or ignore it.
• A full check in the mazdek AI panel lists every mistake; click one to see it in the post.
• Diacritics completion for Kurmancî and Kirmanckî (î, ê, û, ş, ç).
• AI grammar check (optional).
• Optional Rastnivîs button under your comment form for visitors.

AI writing assistant

• Improve, shorten or expand selected paragraphs.
• Write a summary, suggest headlines and a meta description.
• Translate between Kurmancî, Soranî, Kirmanckî and other languages.
• Or simply ask: “Write a short introduction for this article”.

Built for WordPress

• Its own mazdek AI menu: Overview, Audio, Editor tools and Audio library.
• Abilities API support (WordPress 6.9+): spell checking, the writing assistant and post audio are available to AI agents connected to your site, with the same permissions as the editor.
• Your API key stays on your server; it is never sent to visitors’ browsers.

What it costs

The plugin is free. Audio, AI grammar and the writing assistant use your prepaid mazdek AI credit at the published API rates (see https://mazdek.ai/pricing). Spell checking and diacritics completion are free. An article that already has audio is never billed again, however many people listen.

External services

This plugin connects to mazdek AI (https://mazdek.ai), a Kurdish speech and language service operated by mazdek GmbH, Switzerland. Nothing is sent until you connect the plugin with your API key.

• Connecting (when you press “Connect”): your site’s domain and name and the chosen language are sent to https://api.mazdek.ai/api/sites/connect to register this site in your account.
• Post audio (when a post is published or updated, if automatic audio is on, or when you press “Generate audio”): the post’s address, title and text are sent to https://api.mazdek.ai/api/sites/…/articles. When a post is trashed or unpublished, its address is sent so its audio is removed.
• Audio player (on posts with audio, in your visitors’ browsers): the player script bundled with this plugin sends the page address, title and article text to https://api.mazdek.ai/api/sites/public/… to fetch or create the audio, and plays it from mazdek AI’s storage. If a visitor presses play on a post without audio, mazdek AI downloads that public page once to confirm the text is really published there. No cookies are set and no personal data of visitors is stored.
• Rastnivîs and the writing assistant (when an editor clicks a button in the editor sidebar, and — if “Underline mistakes while typing” is on — about a second after they stop typing, for the paragraphs that changed): the selected or full post text is sent to https://api.mazdek.ai/api/spellcheck, /api/spellcheck/diacritics, /api/spellcheck/grammar, /api/translate or /api/chat/v2.
• Comment Rastnivîs (only if you turn it on, when a visitor clicks the button): the comment text is sent to https://api.mazdek.ai/api/sites/public/spellcheck.
• Media library copies (only if you turn them on): when a post’s audio is ready, the MP3 is downloaded once from mazdek AI’s storage into your media library.
• Cost estimate (Audio library page, when you press Calculate): the public price list is read from https://api.mazdek.ai/api/keys/rates.
• Voice catalogue and samples (on the plugin’s Audio page): the voice list is loaded from https://api.mazdek.ai/api/tts/voices and samples are played from https://api.mazdek.ai/api/tts/samples/….
