How TTSWP fits
Audio is generated automatically the moment a journalist hits Publish. No manual export, no copy-paste, no embed step. The plugin slots into the existing WordPress workflow without retraining the editorial team. Every post gets AudioObject JSON-LD schema, so AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can cite the audio version directly.
- Auto-generate on publish
- AudioObject schema for AI search visibility
- Custom pauses and SSML for natural pacing
- Truncate after marker to skip footnotes and bylines
- Free tier supports unlimited published posts
