Speaker v4.1.8 – Page to Speech Plugin for WordPress

Speaker is a WordPress plugin that turns page text into human-like speech, using advanced machine learning and AI to produce high-quality voice output and embed an audio player in your content. Built on Google Cloud Platform, it ensures reliability and fast delivery worldwide.

It supports over 340 distinct voices in more than 52 languages and variants, leveraging cutting-edge speech synthesis technologies (like WaveNet and Neural2) and Google’s neural networks to create lifelike audio.

This is the only plugin for WordPress that implements full support for SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language), enabling fine control over speech—including pauses, tone, correct pronunciation of numbers and phone numbers—and allowing multiple voices or languages within the same article.

Compatibility with all major WordPress content editors is tested and ensured, and the plugin offers flexible options so you can enable or disable it per page, per user group, or device type (mobile/tablet/desktop).

Many useful utilities and settings are offered: you can define custom speech templates per page or post; convert all existing pages/posts into audio in bulk; add consistent intros or outros to brand your audio files; place player controls in different positions; use multiple players on one page.

Privacy and compliance are taken seriously, with GDPR support. Only public page content is processed; restricted or password-protected content is excluded.

Users also requested audio download links, and that feature is included, allowing downloads both from the front-end and the back-end, depending on settings.

Convert your content into podcast-ready feeds, with RSS support for services like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more.

Plugin keeps up with recent PHP versions, while still supporting older versions (from 5.6 onward). The newer interface uses Material Design aesthetic for a fresh and modern user experience.

Cross-browser performance is solid, compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and even older versions of Internet Explorer. This reliability is valuable particularly for content-rich or long pages like blogs, portfolios, corporate sites, or ecommerce sites.

Among the core features are speech template builder, SSML support, batch processing, multilingual plugin compatibility (WPML, Polylang), automatic audio generation upon saving content, multi-voice/multi-language support in single pages, voice speed & pitch adjustments, intro/outro customization, backup of audio to Google Drive, listening statistics for each post, style and placement options for the audio player, front-end and back-end download links.

There are add-ons for Elementor and widgets for WPBakery, and it’s tested to work with many popular builders. Themes compatibility is broad, including modern and traditional ones. It’s lightweight, fast, with modern UI, RTL and multilingual readiness.

You’ll get thorough guides and documentation, with an installation manual, usage instructions, and strong customization settings. Six months of support are provided for buyers, plus compatibility with many major WordPress plugins (SEO tools, forms, galleries, ecommerce, caching, etc.) and frameworks.

One thing to note: for full functionality, you’ll need valid Google account authorization.
