Listen to This Article as a Podcast – AI Text to Speech Audio Player
Listen to This Article as a Podcast is a text to speech audio player plugin for WordPress, powered by the Hi, Moose text-to-podcast generator. It lets you add a “read aloud” or “listen to this article” audio experience to your posts using natural-sounding AI narration.
Text to Speech & Read Aloud Audio for WordPress
It adds an audio version of your posts—similar to a “listen to this article” or “read aloud” button—but powered by high-quality, natural AI voices.
Perfect for sites that want to offer text-to-speech, podcast-style audio, read aloud, or article-to-audio experiences without managing audio files manually.
By offering an audio version of your content, you can: * Increase Engagement: Users stay longer when they can listen instead of read. * Improve Accessibility: Great for readers with visual impairments or who prefer audio. * Boost SEO & AEO: The plugin embeds full transcripts and Schema.org JSON-LD data. The conversational nature of the transcript is optimized for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), helping your content perform better in AI-powered search results like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
This plugin automatically detects your domain, fetches your completed episodes from the Hi, Moose platform, and lets you insert them with a single click.
On the Hi, Moose platform, you can customize each podcast-style audio version before embedding it—choose narration voices, adjust pacing and length, provide optional focus instructions, and fine-tune the player’s colors. Hi, Moose also includes built-in analytics showing listeners, plays, resumes, and completion rates. Once generated, the final audio and transcript are embedded on your WordPress site through a clean, lightweight player.
