On a v2 account, open the ResponsiveVoice menu in your WordPress admin to enable or disable it and customise its appearance, position and behaviour, choose which content types show it, and override it per post. Your other ResponsiveVoice website features (such as the Welcome message that plays when a page loads) are configured in your ResponsiveVoice account dashboard.

A full list of voice names is in the Documentation. Your API key Create a free account and add your API key from the ResponsiveVoice admin menu to unlock the full voice catalogue and the WebPlayer. Without a key, the plugin runs in demo mode so you can try it first. For more details, please see the Documentation Requirements ResponsiveVoice runs in your visitors’ browsers, so there is nothing to install or configure on your server. It works in modern browsers across desktop and mobile. External services This plugin relies on the ResponsiveVoice service to synthesize speech, so text and your API key are sent to it from visitors’ browsers. The ResponsiveVoice library/SDK is loaded from code.responsivevoice.org / cdn.responsivevoice.org, or, in “bundled” delivery mode, served from your own site. When a visitor plays audio, the text to read and your site’s API key (a public website identifier, not a secret) are sent to the ResponsiveVoice Text-To-Speech API to generate audio. The visitor’s browser reads your site’s ResponsiveVoice configuration — your account’s website feature settings — from texttospeech.responsivevoice.org, so those features work on your site. When the ResponsiveVoice SDK plays audio (the WebPlayer, buttons or shortcodes), it reports the number of characters spoken to app.responsivevoice.org. This is a single number for usage accounting: no personal or user information, and not the spoken text, is sent. It is required so your account’s API usage is attributed correctly.
