What do you think? …

Lucas Edwards

This is a huge win for accessibility. Is there a way to automatically generate audio for every new post?

Benjamin Peralta

@lucas_edwards1 yes you just land on the page and it does it automatically

Imogen Barrett

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?

Benjamin Peralta

@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.

Elizabeth Turner

This is perfect for busy readers can users download the audio as MP3s for offline listening?

Benjamin Peralta

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

Gabriel Phillips

How simple is it to set this up on an existing blog?

Does it need any technical tweaks like editing code snippets or is it more of a plug-and-play widget that anyone can use?

Harper Young

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.

Benjamin Peralta

@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.

Nera Coda

@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.

super slick. just tested it on one of my old blog posts and the audio version actually makes it way easier to revisit. love how quick the embed setup was.
