Enhance Your Content with Spoken Word Plugin
Spoken Word is a WordPress plugin designed to add text-to-speech (TTS) functionality to your website. It features playback controls, read-along highlighting, and multi-lingual support, allowing users to listen to content while following along with highlighted text. The plugin utilizes the speechSynthesis API in the user's browser, ensuring no external requests or dependencies are required. Key features include customizable voice settings, adjustable speech rate and pitch, and the ability to skip paragraphs or select specific text to read.
The plugin is optimized for desktop browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and includes settings for persistent voice preferences across sessions. While it is not fully supported on mobile devices, users can still experiment with its functionality through a standalone example. The Spoken Word plugin also offers customization options for themes and provides a bookmarklet to integrate TTS capabilities on non-WordPress sites.
