This software works really well and I found the support was very quick and helpful which is always nice. Thumbs up from us, we will use this plugin again on our projects.

Yes, there is a free version, but it works only for 10 000 characters … which is enough for a decent postcard. Then the audio processing appears as “Skipped” in the edit page of a post. … and nothing tells you what happened. You have to explore yourself to find out that now it is $89/month … Found something great in Codecanyon cheaper and paid only ONCE
Bye Bye

Good product until it stopped working. Support will simply ignore multiple emails and chat requests.

I love the plug-in and it sounds great. But support ignores multiple emails, so you are own if you run into issues. And pricing is wickedly steep when you can get plugins from Code Canyon for $20 and use Google TTS.

We’ve been using Beyond Words for almost a year and happily pay for it. As a sports news site, many of our visitors are can listen to the stories instead of read them. We’ve had great feedback from players, parents, and coaches that they enjoy listening on their drives home from games. We’ve had a few questions and their support team is great! This plugin adds value to our website for sure!

If you ARE going to use an AI voice for your project/site, at LEAST use one that is done by an ethical provider using REAL professional voice actors! The end result will be much better and YOUR website visitors will be happier with the end result.
Obviously, the best thing to do is to hire a professional to narrate your blog/content for accessibility or ease of use reasons, but, when you can’t afford to hire a human, at least use something like BeyondWords!

Installed the plugin and the only thing that happened was a big extra space appearing between the title and the body text of my posts. No button or anything like that. I immediately emailed support and they never replied. Plugin removed.

This plugin is not free – it doesn’t have a free program, just a free trial. I dont think that the WordPress plugin directory is the bulletin board.
even to test it you need to enroll.
This is from the plugin page:
“You are just minutes away from engaging audiences with spoken-word audio. Join the hundreds of WordPress publishers already using our ****free**** text-to-speech plugin and platform to make the most of their news articles, reports, guides, and more.”
I highlighted the word free, sorry for the bad review
but its dishonest.

This is useful with some nice AI voices, but the fact that it doesn’t have any scroll effect killed it for me. People appreciates TTS no doubt, but most people would also like the ability to be able to follow the text along with the audio. Seems like they would have thought about that, but guess they didn’t or just slow to implement this feature. That said, it’s a HUGE oversight, so I gotta to knock off 2 stars!

This plugin gets a lot of things right. The AI voices sound REALLY good. They speak just like real people, probably 90%+ of the time – which is excellent compared to the other services I have used in the past. I love that I can customise the player with CSS. I would say BW could spend a bit more time on the speed optimisation of the plugin. Currently it loads of a lot of resources on every page of the site. I was able to fix this with Plugin Organizer, but most people wouldn’t know how to do this. Overall: 10/10.

BeyondWords, formerly Speechkit, is the best option on the market for text-to-speech for content audio and we’ve tried them all. Major media outlets are using BeyondWords. Listening to articles is the future. Try this plugin. Support is same day and excellent and comes from high level people at BeyondWords. We use Divi so we’ve had some issues with the plugin, but the BeyondWords.io text editor is super easy to use and you can create the audio there and embed very easily with a code module. This plugin is super affordable for the number of characters you get. The Voice AI is best in class. We’ve been trying to solve this text-to-speech problem for almost a year. The solution is BeyondWords.

I’ve tried several text-to-speech services and found Speechkit to be the best. It’s easy to set up and work with, the choice of voices is superior and the price is very economical.
I use it to “speechify” articles on my blogs to give readers an additional way to engage with the content.
I can recommend Speechkit without reservation.

SpeechKit – superb product and superb support.

As someone who does a lot of content marketing, I’m always looking for ways to get more mileage out of what I publish. When I heard about this, I was a little hesitant – since most text-to-speech audio is of such poor quality. Since I know podcasts are increasing in popularity, however, I finally decided to pull the trigger… and am so happy that I did. It’s VERY easy to set up, and customer support is off-the-charts. I ran into a snafu with something my web developer did, and a bunch of super old articles ended up in rotation. They were amazingly helpful in cleaning up the mess. And have been very responsive in answering questions that I’ve had along the way. This is a tremendous value, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

We’ve used this plugin on Irish Tech News since their beta days and have found it to be excellent. It creates automated versions of articles without any input needed and the audio files can be shared as a podcast too. There is a far larger selection of voices now that can be used and have become more natural. Keep up the great work!

We have been using Speechkit now for a few weeks and love it!! Works really well and is simple to implement and add to our pages. We have also managed to use the app within our directory of disabled listings so its versatile to use across our whole platform.

Very happy with the support and the plugin!
Enabling the ability to convert our articles to listenable has been well received by our audience. Another great benefit is becoming more ADA / WCAG compliant.
Have integrated with Alexa as well and can’t wait to do so with Google Home!

It is a great product, but I would like to upload my own audio. On your website, there is an Upload mp3 file button, but not matter what mp3 I choose, it fails after a couple of seconds. The status bar has a red vertical line on the left with the word Failed after it. I tried to send you and email and wrote on the forum, but you haven’t responded.

Hi Speechkit,
This is an amazing plugin for wordpress. But I have a case that Speechkit can be used perfectly.
I’m an english teacher. Recently, I want to build an elearning website for my students to practice at home. But one of my needs is that student voice recognition after they learn words or sentences. I want to have a plugin that students can record their voice and the text appears in a text box, that they can see if their pronunciation is correct or not.
Is there any chance that I could use Speechkit for that purpose?
Thanks you!

South Africa is a country with a high illiteracy rate, extremely expensive data and the competition among online news platforms is fierce. Speechkit has helped UnCensored stand out by making it easy and faster for our readers to access our content through listening rather than reading.
The figures speak for themselves. Audio engagement per article is way above average customers and grew 38% in October and grew an additional 16% in November. Average Listen Per article grew 23% in November to 3 minutes 29 seconds!
Easy and useful.

The plugin is simple to use and adds great functionality to the site. Any support request is promptly and courteously dealt with. This is a fantastic plugin which allows people to listen to content whilst doing other things.

I am a small publisher and do not have the time to record audio to accompany my posts. SpeechKit makes it easy and I can also push my posts through as podcasts now too.

This is a fuss-free way to add smooth audio transcription to your WP site. It’s simple to setup, operate and integrates well within a post or page (you can choose where you want it to appear). Ideal to help visually impaired readers enjoy your content, as well as offer those with little time to read the chance to listen to your articles instead.
The only thing worth noting is the plugin won’t recognise older posts and instead starts from when you first install, i.e. every new post after install will automatically be picked up and have associated audio created for it. This process can take a few minutes depending on the complexity and length of post made.

Plugging to flee. The developers do not respect their commitment that the solution should remain free for beta testers.
