I absolutely love this audio really makes blogs so much more accessible. Does it allow for different voices or styles?
Love that you can just drop AI audio on your blog—so smart for folks (like me lol) who always wanna listen on the go. Realy cool idea, team!

I genuinely believe this tool may seem small but it can create a significant impact. Offering more ways for people to consume content reflects a user-first approach that truly brings blogs to life and makes them feel more human.
@clara_ellington thanks i think so too. Excited to add new players like talking avatars, and more kid-friendly options.

I love the mission but I think some readers might be a bit picky about synthetic voices. If the quality comes off as too robotic they might lose interest. Natural sounding narration will be crucial for long term success.
@lucas_edwards1 yes you just land on the page and it does it automatically

The concept is great but scalability is key if a blogger has a ton of posts, can they convert them all at once or do they have to activate audio for each one individually?
Accessibility is a huge plus but how do you manage blogs with mixed media like charts or embedded videos? Do those get skipped in the audio, or is there a fallback explanation provided?

It's a bit sad that free use requires an API key. It would be great if registration included 1–3 free uses.

@sophie_wood Thats why I added elevenlabs, their work is phenomenial in realistic tone, and voice generation
Does your widget also keep track of analytics like how many people are actually listening compared to reading?
Butter Reader
@camille_mcintyre yes we do:)
This is a huge win for accessibility. Is there a way to automatically generate audio for every new post?

@imogen_barrett The audio is generated once, then it cache's and remains until the text is changed, or a voice setting to that player is changed.
This is perfect for busy readers can users download the audio as MP3s for offline listening?

@elizabeth_turner4 no but thats an easy add and great idea!

@bca5 Fair assessment, to be fair, ChatGPT and ElevenLabs give you several free credits to start, also, this just allows me not to restrict you.
@ben_peralta Thanks, it worked with a free ElevenLabs API key for 2–3 minutes, but then ElevenLabs limited it.
Butter Reader is awesome. It would be even better if it could accept a full URL instead of just a domain or raw text.
