Shortcodes

Shortcodes are snippets of code that display the text to speech control panel (which contains play, pause, etc..)

Basic Usage – Inserts the Listen button and audio playback functionality.
```
[natural_tts]
```
Find Target Text By Direction
```
[natural_tts target-tts-direction="below"]
```
What it means:

The target-tts-direction attribute tells the plugin where to look for the text to read aloud, relative to where you place the shortcode:

Below: The plugin will search for the nearest text element after (below) the shortcode’s position.

Supported direction: above, bottom, left, right
Find Target Text By HTML Selector

You can target specific HTML elements using tags, class selectors, ID selectors, and more.

Syntax:
```
[natural_tts target-tts-selector="HTML SELECTOR HERE"]
```
Examples:

Read the whole page.
```
[natural_tts target-tts-selector="body"]
```
Custom Audio URL

Use your own audio file.

(PRO VERSION ONLY)

Examples:
```
[natural_tts src="https://example.com/audio.mp3"]
```
Trigger play

Trigger / Control other shortcodes (other tts control button) to play, pause, etc..

(PRO VERSION ONLY)

Examples:
```
[natural_tts trigger-play="all"]
```
Custom Show Hide Button on TTS control

Sometimes we only want specific buttons to show

The “basic” stands for showing the play, pause, resume, and stop

Examples:
Show only play, pause, resume, stop
```
[natural_tts only-show="basic"]
```
Show only play, pause, resume, stop, and the setting button
```
[natural_tts only-show="basic,settings"]
```
Another value that you can also put in

External Services

When a user opens a post or article and starts playing the audio, the audio is generated/served from your server — we do not make any API calls to our servers to create the audio.

All your plugin configurations, TTS API secret keys, and audio files are stored in your own self-hosted WordPress. This makes it private and secure.

When you open the plugin settings page in WP Admin, it makes an API call to our server to check the plan you are currently using.

Our server is live at https://services.reinventwp.com, and it is used for:

Subscription authentication (via Freemius)

FAQ

Don’t want to read long documentation and FAQs? Chat with our Butterfly AI assistant

We know you need an assistant that can answer all your questions, so you don’t have to read through long documentation and FAQs.

You will see a Butterfly flying on our website and plugin settings page in WP Admin after installation.

You can simply ask it questions. It uses RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) technology to provide answers based on our documentation and FAQs.

It also provides reference links you can follow.

Is it FREE?

Yes! The free version uses ElevenLabs or browser-based speech synthesis (Web Speech API). It works, but the voices may sound robotic.

For natural-sounding audio, upgrade to PRO to use ElevenLabs, OpenAI TTS, Google Cloud TTS, Amazon Polly, or Azure AI Speech.

How do I upgrade to PRO?

Go to our website, choose a plan, and complete payment.
You’ll get an email from Freemius with your license key
Search and install this plugin from the WordPress Plugins menu in your WordPress admin
Activate and enter your license key.

How many languages and voices are available?

This plugin itself supports many languages goto Supported Languages

But, when you want to integrate with text to speech (TTS) API as an audio source like OpenAI TTS, ElevenLabs TTS, Google Cloud TTS, Amazon Polly, and Azure AI Speech.

So you will need to check their language support also:

Does Reinvent WP Text To Speech work on every WordPress theme?

Yes. The plugin inserts its player with a shortcode, so it will show on top of your posts. No template editing is required.

Can I customise the player’s colors, size, or position?

Yes! We’re committed to giving users flexibility and a high-quality TTS experience.

You can go to the WP admin > plugin settings page > look & customization

Does it support Android WebView?

Depends on your WebView provider

If your WebView supports the same APIs as a regular browser, it will work

We try using the Trusted Web Activity and it works.

Here is the simplified tutorial that you can follow

Here is the example working App Reinvent WP Text To Speech Web View with TWA Demo App

When not working, you can just debug on the runtime of the application. See what logcat outputs. What browser APIs are not supported by your webview provider

How is my API key kept secure in PRO mode? Privacy and Data Security?

All data is stored in your WordPress database. We do not send or store your API keys, text, or audio on external servers. Everything remains under your control. Your API keys are used only for direct communication with the TTS provider you configure (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, ElevenLabs). This ensures your information remains private, secure, and fully compliant with standard WordPress data practices.

Does Text to Speech improve SEO?

Yes. Audio keeps users on the page longer and adds Text to Speech transcripts that Google can index, often boosting dwell-time and rankings.

How about Pronunciation?

The displayed word and the spoken pronunciation may differ. Using AI, we correct pronunciations to ensure accuracy and cost-effectiveness.

This is designed especially for technical terms, equations, and concepts from academic papers, mathematics, physics, computer science, machine learning, and more.

Displayed: For the equation E = mc², where E stands for energy and c is the speed of light in vacuum.

Spoken: For the equation E equals M C squared, where E stands for energy and C is the speed of light in vacuum.

How about user gesture? eg. double click to play

Users can jump to a sentence or word by double-clicking.

You can configure this in the Plugin Settings Page > Runtime.

Support page builder? like Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, etc

Yes, absolutely. This plugin is fully compatible with all major WordPress page builders, including:

You can easily add and use the plugin’s features within any of these builders without extra configuration. Whether you’re building landing pages or blog posts, our plugin integrates seamlessly into your workflow.

henrikdam 12 September 2025

It works, I have never had so fast and professionell support. Birr Karim is fantastic.In this plugin you can use Azure and many other services, so you do not need an expensive third party plugin. Absolutely recommend using the Pro version, it’s brilliant.

yogimpsingh 17 August 2025

my plug in is pro version. I am boring with this plugin. They are only exploiting.

Dude 27 July 2025

Tried different tts plugins and this finally found the best plugin for multingual language support. support also very quick replay and they answer/solve every problem.

Alves 19 July 2025

Thanks for making this plugin, its so good! worth to buy

nathan999 19 July 2025

Absolutely a must-try! I’ve tested several text-to-speech plugins before, but this one really stood out. The sentence and word highlighting while the text is being read is incredibly helpful. It makes content much easier to follow—especially for users with reading difficulties or visual impairments. The developer is super responsive and provides quick, helpful support. You can even suggest new features, and they’re open to feedback, which is awesome. What I love most is how flexible it is. The plugin supports integration with many popular TTS cloud providers (like ElevenLabs, Google, Amazon Polly, etc.). It uses your own API credentials, so you’re in control—and it even includes caching to reduce repeated API calls and save on costs. Another big plus: it stores data directly in your own WordPress database and saves the audio files on your own server. No outside dependencies, which makes it much more secure and private compared to many other solutions. Overall, it’s a very transparent and cost-effective solution if you want high-quality, natural-sounding speech on your site. Highly recommended!

dansvv 1 July 2025

I tried many different text to speech plugins and this is by far the best. I started using this plugin soon after it was first released and the features and functionalities which have been added took an already standout plugin in to something next level. In addition, the developers are SO responsive, and worked with me to get the plugin exactly how I wanted it. These aren’t your typical developers happy to publish a substandard plugin.. They really care, and it shows, both in their support and the frequency of updates. It works with Elementor, has a high level of flexibility, and the control of voices in the premium version is well worth it. If you’re looking for a TTS plugin, this is the one to get.
