🗣️ With ResultsAiX Speech: Read Text Aloud Into An Episode

With ResultsAiX Speech on the same site, any written piece can become an episode with no microphone. Your Speech voice reads the text in your browser and the result is attached as the episode audio. It is a quick way to give every blog post a listen-along version.

Where to find it:

• On any episode, in Episode audio and details: Read the episode text aloud with ResultsAiX Speech. It shows only when ResultsAiX Speech is installed.
• On the Posts list, under each post's title: Make a podcast episode.

Read an episode aloud:

1. Write or paste the words in the episode editor. That is what gets read.
2. In Episode audio and details press Read the episode text aloud with ResultsAiX Speech.
3. The popup shows Loading the voice (the first time takes a minute), then Reading part 1 of however many parts.
4. Your Speech voice reads it in your browser, it is made into an MP3, uploaded in small pieces and attached as the episode audio, with its length.
5. Save or publish the episode.

The voice is the one you chose in ResultsAiX Speech, so every episode sounds the same as the rest of your site.

Turn a blog post into an episode:

1. Open Posts and hover the post you want.
2. Click Make a podcast episode.
3. A new draft episode opens with the post's title, summary, words and featured image, and the Read the episode text aloud button is highlighted.
4. Pick the show, press the button, and save.

The post itself is not changed.

A real example:

yoursite.com has a popular post called Five Emails That Sell Without Sounding Like It. You click Make a podcast episode under it on the Posts list, choose Your Business Podcast as the show, press Read the episode text aloud with ResultsAiX Speech, and publish. Readers who prefer to listen now have a version for their commute.

Tips:

• Short paragraphs and plain sentences read best aloud.
• If the popup says to write the episode text first, the editor is empty: paste the words in and press the button again.
• Add a short spoken intro at the top of the text, such as the show's name, so it sounds like an episode.
