Just a few pre-sale questions: 1. Does Voicer work on password-protected pages? 2. Can I change the default voice using the plugin interface? 3. Can I customize the colors to match my page? 4. Can I configure it to make short pauses in lists whose items consist of one word?
Hello! 1. Yes, the Voicer can work on all site pages. 2.Yes, you can change the voice in the plugin settings. 3.Yes, you can change the button color. 4. No, it is not provided.
Hi,
pre-sales questions: - ist there some kind of test available to check the sound of the voices? - is it possible to use this text to speech not only on Wordpress texts, but on the output of other plugins? We for example are using WPForo and Docs and would be happy if the texts generated by these plugins would be read as well.
Thanks for caring, Bernd
Hello! All the supported languages are here https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/voices and you can check them.
We have not tested the Voicer with WPForo and Docs but the Text to Speech feature applies to all content on your site.
Before buying, does it also work for comments? If I select the text of the footer or the header, will these also be translated into speech?
Yes. Any text you select will be voiced, except text in the iframe.
FIRST POINT: I have even seen in the sample that when you click the blue play button, it disappears without doing the play function, I also tried it on mobile and the same (I can send a video of the problem, I am using the most used theme in wordpress )
SECOND POINT, in long texts “more than 80 words” it keeps loading and the voice is never reproduced, any possible solution?
THIRD POINT, the option: “Behavior↠ Voice suspension” should improve because on the computer it gets crazy, it plays over and over again when you move the mouse when pointing to different texts, it should autoplay by clicking on the text, or it could be, giving 2 clicks on the text it should autoplay.
1, 2) We tested our demo on different browsers and devices but couldn’t reproduce the playback issue. Please contact us via help@merkulov.design and provide your site link where we can look at the problem.
3)If you have the Voicing hover option enabled, the text will be read on hover. You can disable it in the settings https://take.ms/IJAZD
It’s fixed, I updated to php 8, I moved from hosting to vps in digital ocean (I’ll check it out soon) and now everything works fine, it sounds very good, I also activated the compatibility +7.2 of the last update, really I don’t know if that has made it work but everything is correct, SOMETHING ADDITIONAL, The voicing hover is perfect but on the computer it is very annoying that it pauses, activates and deactivates all the time, on mobile with 1 click it works perfectly but on the computer it should be disabled
If you want to add the voice on click feature we can consider it as a custom service, contact us via help@merkulov.design for details. Otherwise, it will be considered in future plugin updates.
At the moment I’m happy with your plugin, I have a plugin that makes yours only work on the mobile version of my website and it’s great for me, the computer ones who read it, it doesn’t matter, but the mobile ones are delighted 
One question before buying, I only need the voice function of these plugins but I need to use it in the following way… I am creating a chatbot and I need it to play only what the bot responds. Although in the demo the user can highlight a content and make it listen, I need it to be heard automatically every time the boot responds, so I would only have to modify the function so that instead of highlighting the text to be heard it is heard automatically without having to highlight (maybe with some shortcode or something like that. Is that possible? Another question. Can the audio language output be set to be detected automatically?
Due to its limitations, this plugin cannot autonomously convert text into speech for content that becomes visible after the page loads, such as chatbot responses. Consequently, the plugin relies on the page attribute to determine the language rather than automatically detecting it.
I am just starting the learning curve on this project I want to add a button at the bottom of my post that will turn the text in the post into a downloadable audio file can this do that ? It seems there are many online that want to charger a fortune for a 2000 word essay. Ther has to be a version for the cheaper seats?
Hello! If you are interested in getting an audio file for the entire post/page content please pay attention to the Speaker plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/speaker-page-to-speech-plugin-for-wordpress/24336046?s_rank=2 It allows you to generate an audio file and add an audio player to the page. It is possible to add a link to download the file. The plugin based on Google Cloud Platform and you can read the terms of its use https://merkulove.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004688577-Do-I-have-to-pay-Google-
The Voicer adds a play button when a user selects specific text.
Thank you for the suggestion I will have a look I also may look down the podcast avenue as its a similiar idea thanks again
Hi. Can I use it for any custom post post? Say I am working on a Japanese Leanrning Card website. Each Card(Post) is a vocabulary which I want to display a play button next to the vocabulary and only play only the pronunciation of that vocabulary without the user highlighting the word. Is it possible? Thanks
Hello! The Voicer supports custom post types. Also, it allows getting the play button without highlighting but for this, you need to wrap each word/phrase/sentence in a specific shortcode.
Is there some way to audibly notify someone that there is a text to speak selection and preferably give the title of the topic and a “play now” with speech recognition
Hello! The plugin does not provide such notifications but you can add a regular block/section on your site with short usage instructions
I actually just want to let my blog posts in speak. Is this plugin enough or do I need the plugin from you: https://codecanyon.net/item/speaker-page-to-speech-plugin-for-wordpress/24336046
Hello! Which plugin you need depends on your requirements. If you want to display an audio player that will voice the content of the entire current post, then the Speaker plugin will suit you. If you want to voice only the text selected by the user you need the Voicer for this.
Any demo to see how it looks?
Hello! Here is the demo https://voicer.merkulov.design/
Hello,
Can your plugin be used to create online course, please?
Thank you.
If you need, I can send you a page of the course content I intend to use your plugin to read the course aloud, for you to see if I can use your plugin for the project.
Hello! Yes, the plugin can be used to read lessons/courses/quizzes or similar. Please note that the play button appears when certain text is selected.
Thanks. May I send you a private message in some minutes?
I need to take a decision urgently about such a plugin.
Can you reply to me rapidly, please?
Just sent you a private message from the page:
https://codecanyon.net/user/merkulove
I just sent you a message on https://merkulove.zendesk.com/hc/en-us, with the title:
“I am preparing an online course project”
Thanks.
I’ve already mailed
Hello, is the operation free, is it limited or does it require payment on google servers?
Hello! The plugin basis is the Google Cloud Platform. Google can apply fees after being out of the free quota. Please read more here https://merkulove.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004688218-Do-I-have-to-pay-Google-
Great! Thanks for the clarification
Wouldn’t this plugin end up costing a lot because it sends a dynamic request (containing the text) to be converted to audio and then it sends a request to Google TTS each time? Wouldn’t it have been ideal to convert the whole article to an audio file just once and then use time offsets to select which part of the audio to play? Please correct me if I am wrong about how this plugin works.
Hello! You understood the principle of this plugin correctly. This way of performance has a number of advantages in certain use cases. Depending on your purposes, you can use the Voicer that reads only when selected text or a Speaker https://codecanyon.net/item/speaker-page-to-speech-plugin-for-wordpress/24336046?s_rank=2 that voices the entire post/page.
Hi There! Just finally found your plugin! Been looking for a nice text-to-speech for Wordpress and this looks incredible! Excited to start playing with it!
I do know that it works only if you highlight text. In the future would there be a way to implement a dedicated play button like by Shortcode that can read all the text on the page? That would also be so awesome to have.
Keep up the great work this is amazing
Hello! We have several text-to-speech plugins that differ in the performance ways. Please pay attention to the Speaker plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/speaker-page-to-speech-plugin-for-wordpress/24336046?s_rank=1 which allows you to generate audio for the entire post. More about the Speaker – https://youtu.be/zn-XrLDfDn0?t=44
can i highlight only part of the text and add multiple players with multiple languages and the user chooses the language they want to hear?
Hello! The Voicer does not provide an audio player display. It displays a play button when the user highlights some part of the text. The plugin supports multilingualism, while the text is voiced in the language in which the text is written.
What’s the difference between Speaker plugin and Voicer plugin? Seems like they are the same product from the same developer. I got confused.
Hello! The Voicer plugin displays the play button only after a certain text is selected by the visitor, it does not provide for displaying the player with pre-generated audio of the content. So, if you need to generate an audio file for the entire page/post and display the audio player for each page, please pay attention to the Speaker.
Can I use it without Google TTS API? Because it is a paid feature. Right?
Hello! The plugin is based on TTS API and can’t work without it. There is provided a free quota, please read more about this https://merkulove.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004688218-Do-I-have-to-pay-Google-
hi, question:
- is there a hook or shortcode that can i use to voice just the woocommerce product’s description. I’d like to display a button inside the item’s description tab and when clicked, it voices just its description
- is there a Chinese, Vietnamese voice?
thanks
Hello!
- Yes, you can use a shortcode https://docs.merkulov.design/ssml-features-in-voicer-wordpress-plugin/#Voice-voice to apply the Voicer feature only on certain blocks while turning off the reading feature on the rest of the site through the plugin settings.
- Yes, all the supported languages here https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/voices
Is this plugin compatible with Kunco theme?
Hi,is that compatible with oxygen page builder?
Hello! We haven’t tested the plugin with oxygen builder but the Voicer should work correctly with any WordPress site regardless of the builder you use.
Hi, Is it possible to count the number of words used by each member or user?
Hello! No, this feature is not provided in the plugin.
