I have selected GSpeech as it covered all of my requirements. Seamless integration with my self-hosted WordPress instance, customizable widgets giving the reader a lot of flexibility, stats. It even proposes instant contextual!! translation to a huge number of languages of any article using a neural engine which works great and is very accurate. Instantly.

How GSpeech can help to improve your wordpress accessibility?

GSpeech is a universal audio solution. It has different player types, to read out loud your articles and any content. It supports three player types, with 16+ themes.
Also it has a special player called RHT Player, which allows to listen to the audio of any selection from your website. See RHT section bellow.

What is Read Higlighted Text(RHT) Player, how to use it?

The RHT Player is a very nice accessibility feature for any website to improve WordPress accessibility, which allows all your website visitors to listen to any selected text on the webiste.
It is being activated automatically after you enable the plugin and activate the Cloud Console!
It also shows animated banners, which informs your website visitors about that(TTS) feature active.
You can adjust one of 16 different templates, change banner position, texts, and much more.
To make the configuration, please go to:
WP-Admin->GSpeech->Cloud Console->Widgets->RHT Player. You will see the list of all options there.

It has three views. By default it uses the View-1, which is a circle icon, and has built-in timeline and volume/speed options.
In commercial plans you can use View-2 and View-3, where you can translate any piece of text, and listen to the translated content.

Please check the screenshots section to see RHT player in action.

How to use Welcome Messages?

Once you activate the Cloud Console, the widget Welcome Message is being created automatically, but it is unpublished by default. To activate it, please go to:
Wp-Admin->GSpeech->Cloud Console->Widgets->Welcome Message:
and set Status to Published.

To change the welcome message:
in the same page go to Content tab and change the Content Text.

To set up only on some pages:
Use Allowed Urls, set one url per row. If you need only on homepage, place only url of homepage.

To play only once:
Go to Advanced tab, and set Play Type to Once per session.

Is it FREE?

Yes! There is no audio limit fory the GSpeech 2.X(included in the same package), and for the GSpeech 3.X the limit is 50k characters each month!
Characters are being counted on a new content only. Then audio file is stored on the cloud, and can be played unlimited times.

GSpeech Structure!

Gspeech has a Flexible Architecture!

Each account can have up to ten websites! Each of them has its settings and analytics!

Website Settings:

You specify the Website Language, and Default Voice. (Speed and Pitch of voices can be configured, for AI voices).

The players generation is made by the Smart Widgets Architecture:

Widget Settings:

There are six types of widgets: Full Page Player, Button Player, Circle Player, RHT Player, Welcome Messages, Custom Audio.

Main section of each widget is:

Content Settings
1: Content Selector: specifies which elements should be included in the audio. HTML markup being used, which means you call elements by its html values.
Usage:
To call element by class, .(dot) is being used. For id, # being used.
You can specify more than one element there. Separate with ,(coma).
NOSPEECH Class:
To exclude some part of content from the audio, add the class nospeech to the containing element of that piece of content.
Greather-then >:
Can be used, to navigate to parents element. Example: .mydiv>.parentdiv .
Less-then <:
Can be used, to navigate to children element. Example: .mydiv<.childdiv .

There are two keywords: self_class, and parent_class, relative to Render Element.
If you write self_class, ir will use the same content, as Render Element has, and for parent_class it will use the parent elements content.

2: Render Element: specifies where to render the widget.
Usage:
To call element by class, .(dot) is being used. For id, # being used.
Data usage: Structrue: data-{attribute_name}:{attribute_val} .
If your element has data-id=”777″, you can access it: data-id:777 .

3. Exclude List: specifies which elements should be excluded from audio(HTML markup being used, which means you call elements by its html values. To call element by class, .(dot) is being used. For id, # being used). You can specify more than one element there. Separate with ,(coma).

4. Title Text: Player Title. Will be used as top text for the Full Page Player, content for Button Player, and title for Circle Player.

5. Title Selector: Use this to catch the post title, and show it in the player. Example: h1. Leave it empty, if you are using Title Text.

6. Allowed Urls: The list of urls, where the player should be rendered. Use *(asterisk) to match any character.
Example: use www.example.com/blog* to render on all blog pages.

7. Blocked Urls: The list of urls, where the player should not be rendered. Use *(asterisk) to match any character.

You can contact-us, and we will configure it for your website.

How to use with Elementor!

To use with Elementor pages, add the shortcode [gspeech type=button](type can have values of: full/button/circle) anywhere in the content.
By default it will include the content of parent element, where the player placed.

To change the element, which content will be included in the audio, set the custom class to your elementor wrapper in the advanced tab. For example set the class my_gsp_player(in elementor you put value without dot).
Then go to WP Admin->GSpeech->Cloud Console->Widgets->Shortcode Widget(depends on the type you use, choose full/circle/button), go to content tab, and set content_selector to the value you specified in the Elementor custom class.
In our example it will be .my_gsp_player(here dot is required).

That’s all.

You can contact-us, and we will quickly configure it for your website.

Cache plugins compatibility – WP Fastest Cache and others

Some of the cache plugins make caching of the required js files, and GSpeech stops working.
Usually any cache plugin has the exclude list. To fix that, go to:
Exclude->Exclude JS and add the word gspeech.
That will solve the issue.

Do I need to pay for Google TTS and Translate API keys usage?

No, all the TTS keys and the automatic real time translations are included in all packages(commercial plans).
