Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

Turn WordPress articles into audio as you publish, with tools for distribution, monetization, and analytics.

Let audiences listen to your articles

BeyondWords turns selected WordPress posts and pages into audio automatically.

Your editors keep working in WordPress. BeyondWords generates the audio, adds a customizable player, and automatically update audio when articles changes.

Choose from premade voices, generate a voice from a prompt, or create Instant and Professional voice clones. Voices are powered by ElevenLabs.

What you can do

  • Choose which posts and pages become audio
  • Create full audio articles or shorter audio summaries
  • Add a customizable player with automatic word highlighting
  • Correct pronunciations and review audio before publishing
  • Build playlists and podcast feeds
  • Monetize listening through advertising and subscriptions
  • Measure plays, engagement, listening time, and completion

Distribute in WordPress and beyond

Embed audio in your articles, create playlists, publish podcast feeds to services such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts, share audio via URL, or share and download audio files.

Built for WordPress workflows

Set defaults for your publication, then override them on individual posts.

BeyondWords can regenerate audio when an article changes. You can also use WordPress bulk actions to generate audio for existing articles.

For page-builder setups such as Elementor, Magic Embed provides an alternative to the standard REST API integration.

Monetize listening

Make audio a subscriber benefit with full, ad-free listening, while using previews or ad-supported audio to encourage other readers to register or subscribe.

Upload your own audio ads or connect your existing ad server through VAST, the common standard for audio advertising.
