详情介绍:
Turn WordPress articles into audio as you publish, with tools for distribution, monetization, and analytics.
Let audiences listen to your articles
BeyondWords turns selected WordPress posts and pages into audio automatically.
Your editors keep working in WordPress. BeyondWords generates the audio, adds a customizable player, and automatically update audio when articles changes.
Choose from premade voices, generate a voice from a prompt, or create Instant and Professional voice clones. Voices are powered by ElevenLabs.
What you can do
- Choose which posts and pages become audio
- Create full audio articles or shorter audio summaries
- Add a customizable player with automatic word highlighting
- Correct pronunciations and review audio before publishing
- Build playlists and podcast feeds
- Monetize listening through advertising and subscriptions
- Measure plays, engagement, listening time, and completion
"We've had great customer feedback and the team have been quick to make adjustments based on our suggestions." Kenneth Creamer, Creamer MediaGet started Book a demo and we'll help you choose the right setup, voices, player, and monetization options for your publication.

安装:
- Install and activate the BeyondWords plugin.
- Connect it to your BeyondWords project.
- Choose which posts and pages should become audio.
- Set your default voice and player preferences.
- Publish as usual.
常见问题:
Can I choose which articles become audio?
Yes. Set defaults for posts and pages, then change the settings for individual articles from the WordPress editor.
What happens when I update an article?
BeyondWords can regenerate the audio using the updated article text. You can also keep the existing audio when an update doesn't require a new version.
Can we use our own voices?
Yes. You can create Instant or Professional voice clones for journalists, authors, analysts, presenters, or other speakers. You must have the speaker's permission. You can also choose a premade voice or generate a voice from a prompt.
Can we monetize the audio?
Yes. Upload your own audio ads, connect an existing ad server, or use access tiers to create different listening experiences for visitors, registered readers, and subscribers.
Can we publish the audio as a podcast?
Yes. BeyondWords lets you create podcast feeds for services such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Does it work with Elementor and other page builders?
Yes. The plugin normally connects WordPress to BeyondWords through our REST API. For Elementor and other page-builder setups where that approach isn’t suitable, Magic Embed uses a script on your site to extract and sync the article content instead.

Release date: 12th August 2026
Enhancements
- #566 Poll the content status before embedding the player.
- The block and classic editor previews now wait until content has finished processing — showing a loading spinner meanwhile — instead of embedding the player immediately and caching a 404 when the audio or video isn't ready yet.
- #520 New settings page and project-wide rewrite.
- Simplifies the plugin settings — removing many tabs, fields and options — so that audio/video generation and player display are managed from your BeyondWords project settings.
- Standardises the codebase to WordPress VIP coding standards and migrates CI tooling from Yarn to npm.
- #527 BeyondWords editor redesign for the block and classic editors.
- New Content (Source, Script template), Format (Output, Video template, Video size), Voice (Language, Model, Voice) and Player (Embed) settings, available in both editors.
- The Player "Embed" setting replaces the "Display player" checkbox — choose "None" to hide the player on a post.
- #536 Wire up the Player "Embed" setting.
- The Embed choice (audio/video × post/script) now controls the rendered player, rather than only showing or hiding it.
- #537 Opt-in "Customize" voice and language controls.
- A per-post "Customize" toggle (off by default) reveals the Language and Voice pickers; the project's default language is pre-selected when enabled.
- The Voice and Language settings are consolidated into the plugin sidebar.
- #558 Reorder the voice picker to Language → Model → Voice.
- "Model" is now a language-level filter that narrows the Voice list.
- #557 Preselect "Generate audio" by taxonomy term.
- Reinstates preselecting audio generation for posts assigned specific terms, now across all hierarchical taxonomies and without marking posts as having unsaved changes.
- #555 Live player preview for the "Add Player" block.
- The block renders a non-interactive preview of the actual player, or a prompt to generate audio when none exists.
- #563 State-reflecting generation labels and "Legacy" model rename.
- The "Generate audio" toggle now reads "Generation enabled" / "Generation disabled"; the "Standard" voice model bucket is relabelled "Legacy".
- #532 Cache API reads and defer audio generation on WordPress VIP.
- Editor dropdown data is cached in 15-minute transients; on VIP, audio create/update is deferred to WP-Cron so the save request returns immediately.
- #598 Send taxonomy terms as
tags. - Breaking: the
metadataparam is no longer sent. Code hookingbeyondwords_content_paramsto write$params['metadata']must append to$params['tags']instead, or it will raise a fatal error. - #611 Tidy the classic editor metabox spacing and Content ID layout.
- #618 Poll content status before embedding the block-editor Preview panel player, so a still-processing post (more likely with a customised voice/model) no longer shows a broken preview.
- #613 Fix author names with an ampersand showing as
Smith & Sonsin the BeyondWords dashboard. - #612 Fix tags with an ampersand showing as
r&din the BeyondWords dashboard. - #610 Stop the bulk "Generate audio" notice counting skipped posts as failures.
- #606 Fix posts published with no player when two saves race to create audio.
- #564 Sweep the paired
_transient_timeout_beyondwords_*rows on uninstall, so no orphaned option rows are left behind. - #540 Escape the player
onloadattribute to prevent stored XSS via the Content ID. - #539 Add capability checks to the bulk-edit AJAX handler.
- #541 Prevent a player SDK error from clobbering saved content on Fetch.
- #554 Return JSON from the bulk-edit AJAX handler and catch delete errors.
- #553 Resolve the post ID in
Content::get_content_without_excluded_blocks. - #551 Track live meta for the Inspect panel Remove button.
- #550 Coerce non-string API error messages to avoid a fatal
TypeError. - #543 Guard a null languages API result in the classic editor voice select.
- #542 Surface a
WP_Errorfromget_content()instead of a fatalTypeError. - #588 Ship
symfony/dom-crawler5.4.52 to fix CVE-2026-45071 (XXE / local file disclosure). - The composer constraint now floors at the patched release, so a vulnerable version can no longer be bundled.
- Removed the
beyondwords_player_style,beyondwords_player_content,beyondwords_title_voice_id,beyondwords_summary_voice_idandbeyondwords_disabledpost meta keys. - Existing values are preserved in the database and only removed on full uninstall;
beyondwords_disabledis migrated to the new "Embed" setting on upgrade. - The
beyondwords-*<head>meta tags are now only emitted for the client-side (Magic Embed) integration. - #601 Removed the "Script" option from the post Source setting, which now offers "Post" or "Post + script".
- Posts saved as "Script" are migrated to "Post + script" on upgrade, and keep embedding their script asset.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
