TRANSLATION REQUEST We are looking for people to help translate this plugin. If you can help, we would love to hear from you. Help us and the WordPress community translate the plugin. Contact us and we'll guide you through the process. 2.3.14 ( 10 Sep 2026 ) Added : Five more languages - Japanese, Polish, Russian, Turkish and Vietnamese - bringing the total to twelve. Every language is now fully translated. Added : The plugin now tells you when an updated translation is available for your language, not only when one is missing. Fixed : Downloading a translation could fail with an error even though the files had actually arrived. Downloads are now reliable. Fixed : Your downloaded translation was thrown away every time the plugin updated, leaving your site back in English until you downloaded it again. Translations now stay put across updates. Fixed : Parts of the plugin stayed in English even after downloading your language - the setup wizard, the settings menu on the left, and the text you see when selecting words to listen to. These are now translated. Fixed : The mute button in the player settings no longer describes itself incorrectly to screen readers. Changed : Translations are no longer bundled with the plugin, so the download is much smaller. Your site fetches only the language it needs. 2.3.13 ( 06 Sep 2026 ) Added : On a multisite network, AtlasVoice now appears in your Network Admin menu. It shows every site on the network at a glance - whether each one is in staging or live mode, which player it uses, and whether it has been set up yet - with a direct link to each site's settings. Previously you had to open every site one by one to find out. Fixed : Taking a site live, or putting it back into staging, no longer rewrites parts of your saved settings that it was never meant to touch. Your settings now come back exactly as you left them. 2.3.12 ( 31 Aug 2026 ) Fixed : The player could be missing for your visitors while still showing normally for you as a logged-in administrator. This happened on sites using a speed plugin that holds JavaScript back until someone interacts with the page. The player now appears for everyone, whichever speed plugin you use. 2.3.11 ( 26 Aug 2026 ) Fixed : On a multisite network, any site added after the plugin was activated showed no player at all. The plugin appeared installed and its settings page worked, but nothing was ever read aloud on that site. New sites now start with working settings. Fixed : The player could stay hidden on sites where no "generate audio between these dates" range had been set. An empty date range now means every post, as it always should have. Fixed : Audio ran sentences together and sometimes doubled a full stop. Headings, list items, quotes and separators now each read as their own sentence, and a paragraph that already ends in a full stop no longer gets a second one added after a closing quote. Fixed : Pauses now work in every language. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and Arabic endings were not recognised, so an extra English full stop was read aloud after them. Fixed : Spanish and Arabic text could be corrupted, showing a replacement character in place of an opening inverted question mark or exclamation mark. Fixed : The "Exclude HTML tags to speak" setting had no effect at all on sites not using the Pro plugin. Whatever you chose there is now actually applied. Added : A new "Pick content to read" link in the AtlasVoice toolbar menu opens the content picker on the page you are already viewing, instead of going back to the dashboard to find the post. Improved : Site owners can now change any part of how content is read using filters, without editing the plugin. 2.3.10 ( 18 Aug 2026 ) Fixed : Every article could end up playing the same audio. On sites using a speed or optimisation plugin that combines scripts, one article's audio was reused for every other article. Each article now always plays its own. Fixed : The shortcode's id attribute did nothing. Pointing the player at another article with [atlasvoice id="123"] produced no player at all, and it also stopped every later player on that page from appearing. Fixed : Custom button wording set in a shortcode was ignored, and could overwrite the wording on every other button across the site. Improved : The content picker is no longer loaded for visitors. It is an editing tool, so it now loads only for logged-in users who can edit posts. Improved : Lighter pages. Player code is no longer repeated once per player on pages with several players. Updated : Tested with WordPress 7.1. 2.3.8 ( 14 Aug 2026 ) Improved : Faster page loads. The plugin now serves compressed stylesheets, cutting the size of the player stylesheet your visitors download by around 40%. Improved : Smaller download. Duplicate uncompressed stylesheets and an unused icon font stylesheet are no longer bundled with the plugin. Updated : Documentation. 2.3.7 ( 02 Aug 2026 ) Added : Floating player — the Listen button now follows your readers. It sits in your content as usual, then docks to the edge of the screen once they scroll past it, so the controls are always within reach on long articles. Choose where it docks from Customization: bottom full width, bottom right, bottom left, or sticky top. Prefer it to stay put? Switch docking off in Settings. Added : Button position and floating position are now two separate choices, so you can place the button before or after your content and still pick a different corner for it to dock to. Improved : Floating positions are now included in the free plugin. They used to be a Pro-only feature. Improved : Readers who arrive part-way down a page (from a search result or a shared link) now see the player straight away instead of having to scroll back up to find it. Fixed : On a fresh install the plugin no longer guesses which part of your page to read. It now detects your content automatically, which avoids reading the wrong section on unusual themes. Fixed : Promotional notices from AtlasAiDev now close as soon as you click the X, instead of staying on screen until the page reloads. 2.3.6 ( 24 Jul 2026 ) Added : Listen to selected text — visitors can highlight any passage on your post and a small button reads just that part aloud, or start reading from any word they click. Off by default; turn it on from the Highlight tab. Added : A Pricing page inside the plugin so you can compare AtlasVoice Pro plans and features without leaving your dashboard. Improved : Easier ways to explore Pro — a live demo you can hear, a "Go Pro" link on the Plugins screen, and tidier menu names. Improved : Softer default colors for read-along highlighting and a friendlier final step in the setup wizard. Fixed : Plugin settings could not be saved on sites running certain security/firewall plugins, which blocked the save request. Settings now save reliably on those sites. 2.3.5 ( 14 Jul 2026 ) Added : Read-along highlighting — the player can highlight each sentence, and each word with supported voices, as your post is read aloud. Choose your own colors, dim the rest of the article to help readers focus, and let the page scroll along with the reading. Off by default — turn it on from the new Highlight tab. Improved : Auto-scroll follows the reading politely — if you scroll away it stops following, and it resumes when the spoken text comes back into view. Fixed : While the post title is being read, the highlight could land on a paragraph that starts with similar words. This no longer happens, including on sites using speed-optimizer plugins. Fixed : Two errors that could appear on the Analytics page when viewing a post's listening insights. Improved : After a plugin update, your visitors now get the latest player files right away instead of older cached ones. 2.3.4 ( 10 Jul 2026 ) Fixed : A conflict with Formidable Forms that could fill pages containing a form with repeated PHP warnings. The player no longer triggers these notices. 2.3.3 ( 1 Jul 2026 ) Fixed : The Listen player and its hidden read markers could appear inside post-card grids and other post listings — and on page types you haven't enabled for listening — which could break the layout on some themes. They now appear only on the content you've enabled. Fixed : The deactivation feedback form could leave its buttons disabled after the dialog was closed and reopened, so you couldn't submit or cancel. The buttons now stay clickable. 2.3.2 ( 28 Jun 2026 ) Improved : A cleaner final step in the setup wizard, with a Listen preview that plays a sample so you can hear your chosen voice right away. Changed : The Staging / Live indicator now shows in the toolbar by default. You can still turn it off in Settings. Added : Quick links to the documentation from Settings and the on-page content selector. Fixed : Voice, speed, volume and pitch now stay correct when you switch between players. Improved : Small privacy and security improvements under the hood. 2.3.1 ( 22 Jun 2026 ) Improved : The on-page content selector no longer appears on your posts on its own. It now opens only when you choose to open it, so it stays out of your way while you work. Added : A new setting to turn the on-page content selector on or off. Added : A new setting to show or hide the Staging / Live indicator in the toolbar (off by default). Added : A new setting to show or hide the per-post player on/off button in the toolbar (off by default). 2.3.0 ( 16 Jun 2026 ) Added : A new Staging mode. When you set the plugin up, the Listen player stays hidden from your visitors so you can get everything right first. When you are happy, click "Go Live" to show it to everyone. Added : While in Staging, you and your other site admins can still see and try the player, so you can check it reads the correct content before any visitor sees it. Added : A simple "Go Live" button in the WordPress toolbar. Type GO LIVE to confirm, and the page refreshes on its own. Added : A new step in the setup wizard that helps you check what gets read aloud before going live. Improved : Clearer wizard and dashboard messages explaining what Staging means and what happens when you go live. 2.2.5 ( 14 Jun 2026 ) Fixed : The player no longer reads punctuation marks such as apostrophes and quotation marks aloud as the word "backslash". Fixed : Headings, section dividers, lists and quotes are now read as their own sentences instead of running into the next paragraph. Fixed : Abbreviations, decimal numbers, email addresses and initials are no longer broken up while being read. Fixed : The Listen button again matches the width of your content instead of appearing as a small box. Fixed : Playback now starts from the beginning when you open and play a post in a new browser tab. 2.2.4 ( 11 Jun 2026 ) Fixed : Plyr-backed Pro player (players 3-6) could appear blank/invisible until the first user interaction on sites running Perfmatters with the "Remove Unused CSS" (RUCSS) feature enabled. Perfmatters was rewriting our two stylesheets (text-to-audio-pro.css, plyr.min.css) to data-pmdelayedstyle and only swapping the real href back after a mousemove / scroll / touch, so the widget rendered without any styles in the meantime. Improved : TTA_Hooks::init_cache_compatibility() now also subscribes to perfmatters_rucss_excluded_stylesheets so the TTS/Pro stylesheets stay as ordinary <link href> tags at page load. 2.2.3 ( 31 May 2026 ) Improved : The Dashboard widget's "Minutes Listened" and "Top Post Today" statistics are now shown to every user (previously hidden unless the premium add-on was active). Improved : Removed the remaining audio-file features from the free plugin — the AudioObject (JSON-LD) schema generator and all MP3 file-URL handling now live entirely in the AtlasVoice Pro add-on, because they require a generated audio file that the free browser-voice player does not produce. The free plugin no longer contains any functionality that is limited unless the add-on is active. Improved : The premium voice-provider integrations (Google Cloud TTS, ChatGPT, ElevenLabs) — their setup screen, API-key forms, and authentication checks — now live entirely in the AtlasVoice Pro add-on. The free plugin shows an upgrade prompt in their place; no provider or API-key code ships in the free build. Improved : Player responsiveness — the player now flows with your theme's content width on all screen sizes. Improved : The Listening tab's premium voice settings — provider voices, voice/language selection for the AI players, and the multilingual voice-to-language mapping — now live entirely in the AtlasVoice Pro add-on. The free plugin keeps the default browser-voice player's listening settings and, when a translation plugin (GTranslate, WPML/SitePress, TranslatePress, Polylang) is detected, shows an upgrade prompt in place of the mapping UI. Fixed : After the AtlasVoice Pro add-on is deactivated, the Customize tab now reliably reverts a previously selected premium player back to the Default player and saves it. Previously the saved premium player id stayed selected, so "Default" could not be re-saved. Improved : Analytics now tracks all your posts — the previous 20-post tracking cap has been removed from both the dashboard and the setup wizard. New and existing installs default to tracking every post. Added : If the AtlasVoice Pro add-on is active but older than the version that hosts the screens moved out of the free plugin, the dashboard now shows a notice prompting you to update the add-on so those screens keep working. 2.2.2 ( 31 May 2026 ) Improved : Custom button CSS now uses the WordPress Customizer's built-in "Additional CSS" panel (Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS) instead of a separate plugin field. Any CSS you previously saved in the plugin's Custom CSS box is migrated there automatically on update — nothing to re-enter. Improved : The player now renders in the normal page DOM (light DOM) so your theme styles and Customizer Additional CSS apply to it directly. Improved : Moved all remaining inline <style> and <script> output to properly enqueued stylesheets and scripts, for full WordPress.org plugin-guideline compliance and better caching-plugin compatibility. Improved : Retired the legacy player markup and redundant wrapper elements, leaving a flatter, lighter player structure. 2.2.1 ( 24 May 2026 ) Improved : Removed ~1,100 lines of premium-feature code from api/AtlasVoice_Analytics.php that the free build no longer needs — the heatmap, CSV/PDF export, scheduled-report save/get, and PDF-render handlers now live exclusively in AtlasVoice Pro 3.3.0 under the tta_pro/v1/ REST namespace. No behavior change for free users; the free dashboard continues to show heatmap / export / scheduled-report sections only when Pro is active. Improved : Trimmed three legacy / vestigial handlers from the free analytics class (track_old, insights_old, report, plus deprecated send_test_report, generate_and_send_report, and build_report_email shims) that no live code path was calling. Improved : Updated TTA_Api_Routes doc comments to point to the correct tta_pro/v1/ namespace for the premium analytics endpoints. 2.2.0 ( 22 May 2026 ) Improved : The free plugin is now fully functional on its own — premium player options, button positions, voice integrations, and advanced analytics are presented as upgrade prompts instead of locked controls. Fixed : Removed external sample-audio requests from the dashboard; previews now use your browser's built-in voices.
