ADVANCED TEXT-TO-SPEECH

Looking for the best text-to-speech plugin on WordPress?

Using methods like natural language processing (NLP), BeyondWords’ unique text processing algorithms optimally convert your content into speech synthesis markup language (SSML). This enables AI voices to effectively pronounce elements that other platforms can struggle with, such as names, numbers, and dates, as well as filtering out elements that shouldn’t be read aloud. You can even add aliases to ensure everything is read exactly how you want it.

BeyondWords gives you access to neural voices from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure (500+ voices across 140+ language locales).

You can also get access to premium neural voices — voice clones of professional voice actors that are exclusive to BeyondWords. Users have the option to develop a completely bespoke custom voice using our voice cloning service.

The result is naturalistic spoken-word audio content that engages your target audience — at a fraction of the cost of human recordings.

EFFORTLESS DISTRIBUTION

BeyondWords makes it easy to reach new audiences and grow your listenership. As well as auto-embedding audio players to your WordPress site, you can embed your audio manually or share via URL. You can even download your audios as mp3 files.

This includes content created automatically with our WordPress text-to-speech plugin, as well as content created manually with the Text-to-Speech Editor — perfect for audio newsletters.

Users can even create custom playlists that keep listeners listening for longer. These can be embedded, shared via URL, or even distributed via podcast feed. That means you can reach audiences through platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

ANALYTICS AND MONETIZATION

You get access to project analytics, which means you can track listener engagement at the project level through your BeyondWords dashboard. Users can also get access to audio analytics, as well as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager integrations.

You can even leverage your listenership through audio advertising. Use our self-serve audio advertising feature to create your own campaigns or use VAST (video ad serving template) to connect a programmatic advertising platform, such as Google Ad Manager.

6.0.0

Release date: 10th November 2025

Enhancements and Features

• #449 Added support for Magic Embed integration within the plugin.
  • A new “Magic Embed” option has been added under Content > Integration method in the plugin settings.
  • This option is intended for users working with page builders such as Elementor, who may have experienced issues getting the REST API to function correctly during initial setup.
  • Enabling Magic Embed will automatically add the Magic Embed script to each of your posts.
  • For correct functionality:
    • Magic Embed must be selected in the WordPress plugin.
    • Magic Embed must also be enabled and configured in your BeyondWords dashboard.
  • Posts previously created using the REST API will continue to use that method.
  • Refer to our Magic Embed documentation for more information.

If your plugin is already working as expected with the REST API, we recommend continuing to use that integration.
