Add a “listen path” to your blog so readers can consume your content during commutes, workouts, or any screen-free moment. **Free plan available** — start with no credit card required. #### Why Audio? The podcast market continues to grow year after year. According to Edison Research, 47% of Americans aged 12+ listen to podcasts monthly. In Japan, audiobook usage is growing ~20% year-over-year (Yano Research Institute). AI voice synthesis quality has improved dramatically while costs have dropped — making article audio conversion practical for any publisher. Readers want to consume content in screen-free moments: commuting, exercising, cooking. Text-only media miss these touchpoints entirely. Adding a listening experience lets your articles reach audiences during time they already have, but can’t use their eyes. #### Proven Results Deployed across 30+ media sites, PUBVOICE has delivered measurable improvements: * **11x longer** session duration — readers stay while listening * **+32% repeat visit rate** — listeners come back to listen again * **+19% more page views** — audio navigation drives multi-article browsing The most surprising finding: repeat visitors shift from “arriving via search” to“ coming back to listen.” The delivery channel changes the relationship quality between your content and its audience. #### Not Just Read-Aloud — Intelligent Scripting PUBVOICE doesn’t simply read your article text aloud. The AI understands article structure — headings, bullet points, tables — and automatically rewrites scripts for natural listening. This means proper pacing, contextual transitions, and natural intonation that holds listener attention through completion. Voice clone technology is also available: editors can use their own voice to deliver articles, creating a personal connection that text alone cannot achieve. Listeners recognize the writer’s voice and develop familiarity with your brand. #### Key Features * **Auto Embed** — Automatically insert the AI audio player on all blog posts * **Gutenberg Block** — Use the “PUBVOICE Audio Player” block in the block editor * **Shortcode** — Use `[pubvoice]` shortcode for manual placement * **Customizable Layout** — Choose between Default and Compact player layouts * **30+ AI Voices** — Context-aware scripts with natural intonation * **Voice Clone** — Use your own voice to deliver articles * **GA4 Analytics** — Track play starts, completion rate, and drop-off points * **Verify Domain** — Complete domain verification from the settings page * **RSS Sync** — New articles are detected and converted to audio automatically * **SEO-Friendly** — Outputs Google-recommended structured data (JSON-LD) for audio content #### How It Works 1.

These source files are the inputs used to generate the compiled assets in the `build/` directory. To regenerate the `build/` assets from source: ``` npm install npm run build ``` The `package.json` file shipped with the plugin documents the build toolchain (`@ wordpress/scripts`) and the exact build command. The block source files include: * `src/block/index.js` — Block registration entry point * `src/block/edit.js` — Block editor component * `src/block/save.js` — Block save callback * `src/block/block.json` — Block metadata * `src/block/editor.css` / `src/block/style.css` — Block styles ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * PUBVOICE Audio Player Embed an AI-powered audio player for your articles using text-to-speech (TTS). ## Installation 1.

Sign up at [pub-voice.com](https://pub-voice.com/en), create a content source for your website, and copy the Content Source ID from the dashboard. ### Does the player work on all post types? Auto embed mode only works on blog posts (`post` type). For other post types, use the Gutenberg block or shortcode. ### What if my RSS feed is not being crawled? Make sure your RSS feed URL is correctly set in the PUBVOICE dashboard. PUBVOICE crawls RSS feeds every hour. Initial crawl can take up to 6 hours after RSS registration. ### Can I customize the player appearance? Yes, you can choose between Default and Compact layouts. Additional customization options are available in the PUBVOICE dashboard. ### Is there a free plan? Yes! PUBVOICE offers a free plan ($0/month) with 10,000 credits — no credit card required. During the beta period, Basic plan features ($65/month value) are available completely free. Visit [pub-voice.com](https://pub-voice.com/en) to sign up. ### Does audio help SEO? PUBVOICE outputs Google-recommended structured data (JSON-LD) for audio content on your site, which may help search engines understand your pages better. ### Will our articles be used as AI training data? No. Your article text is never used as training data for external AI models. PUBVOICE uses enterprise-grade secure APIs for audio generation and script creation only. ### Does this plugin make external requests? Yes. PUBVOICE is a service plugin and communicates with `pub-voice.com`. To deliver and play audio, the plugin: * Loads the PUBVOICE player SDK script from `pub-voice.com` on pages where the player is displayed. * Requests audio playback data, structured-data (JSON-LD) sources, and domain-verification status from the PUBVOICE API. These requests are the plugin’s core functionality and are made with the site administrator’s explicit configuration (entering a Content Source ID in the settings page). No data is sent to external services without an administrator configuring the plugin. Your article text is never used as AI training data. ### What is voice cloning? Voice cloning lets editors create an AI replica of their own voice. Readers hear the article delivered in the writer’s voice, creating a personal connection that text alone cannot achieve. This feature is available in the PUBVOICE dashboard. ### How does PUBVOICE differ from simple text-to-speech? Unlike basic TTS that reads text word-for-word, PUBVOICE understands article structure( headings, bullet points, tables) and automatically rewrites scripts optimized for listening — with proper pacing, contextual transitions, and natural intonation. It also integrates with GA4 for detailed playback analytics (start rate, near-completion rate, drop-off points). ### Can I track audio analytics in Google Analytics? Yes. PUBVOICE integrates with GA4 to track play starts, completion rates, and drop- off points. You can compare browsing behavior and conversion rates between listeners and non-listeners, enabling data-driven content optimization. ### Are past articles automatically converted? Yes. Past articles available from your registered RSS feed are automatically detected and converted to audio. The player appears on those articles once audio is generated. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PUBVOICE – AI Audio Player” is open source software.
