Text 2 Speech shortcode plugin allows you to automatically transform any text between shortcodes to a HTML5 mp3 player where Google voice will read your text.

Text 2 Speech supports multiple languages, autoplay and it also downloads every mp3 file to your wp-content folder, so you will reduce translation requests.

  • Plugin just calls Google services once for each sentence, downloading the mp3 to a "audio" folder in wp-content/ uploads / for future calls.
  • The shortcode support multiple languages using a parameter "lang".
  • The shortcode accepts autoplay using the "autoplay" parameter.
  • To show the player, HTML5 label is used. It requires a browser with support for this label.
  • The service does not support long texts, the plugin will work well for texts under 100 characters.
  • Plugin requires the PHP cURL library installed on your server to work properly.

Usage example:

[text2speech_shortcode lang=”en”]This is the most amazing plugin in the world[/text2speech_shortcode]

[text2speech_shortcode lang=”es” autoplay="1"]Este plugin es la caña de España[/text2speech_shortcode]
