Text to Speech for WordPress, Built by Us
We built a WordPress plugin that reads your content aloud with natural AI voices. It creates audio automatically every time you publish, in more than 70 languages. Visitors choose for themselves whether to read or listen.
Built on ElevenLabs, the same voice technology VG.no uses. Free version, no card required.
In Short
What Is Text to Speech?
Text to speech turns written content into audio. An AI voice reads your article aloud, and visitors can listen instead of reading.
For many readers, audio decides whether they take in the content. Some have low vision, some have reading difficulties, and many want to hear the article while doing something else.
Modern text to speech uses natural AI voices. They sound realistic, with the right stress and pauses, and you never have to record or edit audio yourself.
How We Built the Plugin
We made it because we needed it ourselves. Four choices determine how it behaves on your website.
Real AI Voices From ElevenLabs
We chose the voice engine that produces the most natural Norwegian speech. Over 600 voices in more than 70 languages, with the right stress and pauses.
Audio That Creates Itself
Publish a post and the audio file is created by itself. Change the text, and you regenerate the audio with one click.
The Audio Lives With You
Audio files are stored in your own WordPress media library. You can download them, move them or use them elsewhere.
Built for Speed
Caching and preloading keep the player from weighing down your pages. Fast loading is part of good SEO.
Natural AI Voices in More Than 70 Languages
Choose between over 600 voices, including Norwegian ones. Filter by language, gender, age and use case, and preview the voice before you pick it. Audio quality is up to 192 kbps MP3, with adjustable speed.
- Norwegian
- English
- Swedish

A Player Everyone Can Use, Customized Without Code
The player follows WCAG 2.1 level AA. It can be controlled from the keyboard, read by screen readers, and has good contrast. Users who know the shortcuts get through quickly.
You decide placement, width, colors, fonts and which buttons appear. Everything is done visually in WordPress, and you see the changes right away. Need more, add your own CSS.
See What People Actually Listen To
Plays, pauses, downloads and average listening time appear right in the WordPress panel. You see which pages work, and where the player should move.
Put the Narration Where You Want It
Insert the player anywhere with a shortcode. Use parameters for label, autoplay and voice, or build the code in the built-in generator.
Fits Into the Setup You Have
The plugin works in large and established WordPress installations. It works with page builders, multilingual plugins and online stores, without you having to change your theme.

See the SLASeven Good Use Cases for Text to Speech
Where audio gives the most back, you quickly see it in the time people spend on the page.
Long articles
Long texts are rarely read to the end. Audio keeps the reader with you through the whole piece.
Accessibility
Make the content available to readers with low vision, reading difficulties or concentration challenges.
Online stores
Long product descriptions can be read aloud while the customer looks at the photos.
Courses and e-learning
Audio brings learning material, guides and instructions to life and makes them easier to absorb.
News and high tempo
Let readers listen their way through new stories while doing something else.
Museums and culture
Offer narration of exhibition texts in several languages, right from the website.
Multilingual sites
Correct pronunciation in the reader's own language lowers the threshold for international visitors.
