Descrição

🎧 Try the live demo

PUBVOICE is a Gemini-powered text-to-speech (TTS) service that converts your WordPress articles into high-quality audio — automatically. Powered by Google Gemini, PUBVOICE turns your blog posts into natural, context-aware AI audio. Add a “listen path” to your blog so readers can consume your content during commutes, workouts, or any screen-free moment.

Free plan available — start with no credit card required.

📻 Why Audio?

The podcast market continues to grow year after year. According to Edison Research, 47% of Americans aged 12+ listen to podcasts monthly. In Japan, audiobook usage is growing ~20% year-over-year (Yano Research Institute). AI voice synthesis quality has improved dramatically while costs have dropped — making article audio conversion practical for any publisher.

Readers want to consume content in screen-free moments: commuting, exercising, cooking. Text-only media miss these touchpoints entirely. Adding a listening experience lets your articles reach audiences during time they already have, but can’t use their eyes.

📊 Proven Results

Deployed across 30+ media sites, PUBVOICE has delivered measurable improvements:

  • ⏱️ 11x longer session duration — readers stay while listening
  • 🔁 +32% repeat visit rate — listeners come back to listen again
  • 📈 +19% more page views — audio navigation drives multi-article browsing

The most surprising finding: repeat visitors shift from “arriving via search” to “coming back to listen.” The delivery channel changes the relationship quality between your content and its audience.

🧠 Not Just Read-Aloud — Intelligent Scripting Powered by Gemini

PUBVOICE doesn’t simply read your article text aloud. Powered by Google Gemini, the AI understands article structure — headings, bullet points, tables — and automatically rewrites scripts for natural listening. This means proper pacing, contextual transitions, and natural intonation that holds listener attention through completion.

🎤 Voice clone technology is also available: editors can use their own voice to deliver articles, creating a personal connection that text alone cannot achieve. Listeners recognize the writer’s voice and develop familiarity with your brand.

External Services

This plugin connects to the PUBVOICE service (operated by Media Leap Inc.) to deliver and play AI-generated audio for your articles. The service is required for the plugin’s core functionality. An account is required to use this plugin (a free plan is available at https://pub-voice.com/en).

PUBVOICE API (api.pub-voice.com)

This service provides AI text-to-speech audio generation and playback for WordPress articles. It is the core of the plugin.

  • Data sent and when:
    • Domain verification / Connect Source (api.pub-voice.com/api/connect-source): POST request containing your Content Source ID. Sent only when an administrator clicks the “Verify Domain” button on the settings page.
    • Audio information fetch (api.pub-voice.com/api/public/audio-info): GET request containing the article URL. Sent on the front-end when a post with the audio player is loaded (results are cached locally for up to 1 day).

  • Privacy Policy: https://pub-voice.com/en/privacy (English) / https://pub-voice.com/ja/privacy (Japanese)

PUBVOICE Player SDK (sdk.pub-voice.com)

This service provides the player SDK script that renders and controls the audio player on the front-end.

  • Data sent and when: The SDK script is loaded from sdk.pub-voice.com on the front-end of posts where the audio player is displayed. The current article URL is sent to the SDK at runtime to retrieve the corresponding audio data.
  • Terms of Service: https://pub-voice.com/en/terms (English) / https://pub-voice.com/ja/terms (Japanese)
  • Privacy Policy: https://pub-voice.com/en/privacy (English) / https://pub-voice.com/ja/privacy (Japanese)

Perguntas frequentes

How do I get a Content Source ID?

Sign up at pub-voice.com, create a content source for your website, and copy the Content Source ID from the dashboard.

Does the player work on all post types?

Auto embed mode only works on blog posts (post type). For other post types, use the Gutenberg block or shortcode.

What if my RSS feed is not being crawled?

Make sure your RSS feed URL is correctly set in the PUBVOICE dashboard. PUBVOICE crawls RSS feeds every hour. Initial crawl can take up to 6 hours after RSS registration.

Can I customize the player appearance?

Yes, you can choose between Default and Compact layouts. Additional customization options are available in the PUBVOICE dashboard.

Is there a free plan?

Yes! PUBVOICE offers a free plan ($0/month) with 2,500 credits/month — no credit card required. During the beta period, Basic plan features ($65/month value) are available completely free. Visit pub-voice.com to sign up.

Does audio help SEO?

PUBVOICE outputs Google-recommended structured data (JSON-LD) for audio content on your site, which may help search engines understand your pages better.

Will our articles be used as AI training data?

No. Your article text is never used as training data for external AI models. PUBVOICE uses enterprise-grade secure APIs for audio generation and script creation only.

Does this plugin make external requests?

Yes. PUBVOICE is a service plugin and communicates with pub-voice.com. To deliver and play audio, the plugin:

  • Loads the PUBVOICE player SDK script from pub-voice.com on pages where the player is displayed.
  • Requests audio playback data, structured-data (JSON-LD) sources, and domain-verification status from the PUBVOICE API.

These requests are the plugin’s core functionality and are made with the site administrator’s explicit configuration (entering a Content Source ID in the settings page). No data is sent to external services without an administrator configuring the plugin. Your article text is never used as AI training data.

What is voice cloning?

Voice cloning lets editors create an AI replica of their own voice. Readers hear the article delivered in the writer’s voice, creating a personal connection that text alone cannot achieve. This feature is available in the PUBVOICE dashboard.

How does PUBVOICE differ from simple text-to-speech?

Unlike basic TTS that reads text word-for-word, PUBVOICE understands article structure (headings, bullet points, tables) and automatically rewrites scripts optimized for listening — with proper pacing, contextual transitions, and natural intonation. It also integrates with GA4 for detailed playback analytics (start rate, near-completion rate, drop-off points).

Can I track audio analytics in Google Analytics?

Yes. PUBVOICE integrates with GA4 to track play starts, completion rates, and drop-off points. You can compare browsing behavior and conversion rates between listeners and non-listeners, enabling data-driven content optimization.

Are past articles automatically converted?

Yes. Past articles available from your registered RSS feed are automatically detected and converted to audio. The player appears on those articles once audio is generated.

テキストだけでなく「音声でも聴ける」選択肢を作れたのが良かったです。導入後、記事の滞在時間にも良い変化が出ており効果を感じています。SEOへの配慮(構造化データ出力など)もしっかり考慮されており、実用的なプラグインだと感じます。

Registro de alterações

1.3.2

  • Tweak: The “Why PUBVOICE” feature cards on the settings landing page now display in a 4-column horizontal layout for easier scanning. They stack vertically on narrow screens.
  • Tweak: Renamed the “Associate Tag” field to “Store ID” so it matches the name shown in Amazon Associate Central.
  • Tweak: Moved the product preview section below the Amazon settings fields, with clearer spacing and a distinct card layout so it’s easier to find after entering your Store ID.
  • Fix: Replaced the placeholder text in the Store ID field with a generic example (yourstore-22).

1.3.1

  • Fix: Correct the upgrade link in the settings pricing section and the post editor meta box so it points to the working dashboard upgrade page.

1.3.0

  • New: Display Amazon Associate product cards inside the audio player, synced to playback time. Paste an Amazon URL or ASIN, set a timestamp, and the card appears at the right moment during audio playback.
  • New: Amazon product preview in the settings page — paste a product URL to see exactly how the card will look before publishing.
  • New: Product cue editor on each post — add multiple products and schedule when each one appears during the audio.
  • New: Plan-aware features — product cards with images and prices are available on every plan. Click & impression tracking and player CSS customization unlock on the Basic plan and above.
  • New: Pricing section on the settings page showing all plans and the features available at each tier.
  • Privacy: Updated the suggested privacy policy text to cover Amazon product data fetching and product click/impression tracking when those features are enabled.

  • Tweak: Update plugin description, readme copy, and settings landing page to showcase Gemini integration.
  • Tweak: Update Gutenberg block description to mention Gemini-powered audio.

1.1.1

  • Maintenance: Refresh readme pricing copy so the Free plan description is picked up by translate.wordpress.org.

1.1.0

  • New: Suggest privacy policy text via wp_add_privacy_policy_content() so site owners can disclose the data PUBVOICE sends to its external API and player SDK. Required by Plugin Check for plugins that make external requests.
  • Tweak: Clean up all plugin data on uninstall — options (pubvoice_settings, pubvoice_installed_at), per-user review-dismissal meta, and cached audio-info transients are now removed when the plugin is deleted.
  • Maintenance: Remove a redundant CachedStructuredDataFetcher instance from the dependency container.

1.0.4

  • New: Add a “Leave a Review” link on the settings page footer to help surface the WordPress.org Reviews tab.

1.0.2

  • Docs: Point Plugin URI at the localized product landing page (/en/beta or /ja/beta) so reviewers land on a clear service description page.

1.0.1

  • Security: Validate select-field values (embed mode, auto embed position, layout, locale) against an allow-list in the settings sanitizer before storing. Non-conforming submissions fall back to defaults.
  • Hardening: Guard the settings sanitizer against non-array input.
  • Docs: Clarify localized Terms of Service and Privacy Policy URLs (English / Japanese) in the readme.
  • Docs: Point Plugin URI, readme links, and admin landing page links at the localized home page (/en or /ja) instead of the bare apex domain so reviewers always land on rendered content.
  • i18n: Remove manual load_plugin_textdomain(); WordPress loads translations automatically from the Text Domain and Domain Path headers.

1.0.0

  • Initial release
  • Auto embed mode for blog posts
  • Gutenberg block support

  • Settings page with Verify Domain
