This addition lets you generate TTS audio on the fly, without the hassle of creating a post first.
Simply head to the admin area, type in your text, and let the plugin work its magic.
It’s perfect for quick audio snippets, testing ideas, or generating speech for one-off projects.
New Voice: Ballad
The new “Ballad” voice option from OpenAI is now available, for a poetic, melodic twist that’s sure to captivate your audience.
More Voice Options with “Voice Style”
Customization just got a whole lot more exciting with the new “Voice Style” option.
Now, you can choose from a variety of predefined styles to give your audio the perfect tone – whether it’s warm and friendly, professional and crisp, or something entirely unique.
Unleash Your Creativity with Custom Voice Style Instructions
Want even more control? The new “Custom Voice Style Instructions” option lets you fine-tune the audio output by specifying your own voice style or adding special instructions.
Whether you’re aiming for a dramatic narration, a quirky character voice, or anything in between, this feature empowers you to tailor the audio exactly to your vision.
Stay in the Know with the New “Logs” Page
Curious about what’s happening behind the scenes? We’ve added a “Logs” page to the admin area, where you can track the last 50 API requests.
This feature provides a handy overview of request details, making it easier to monitor usage, troubleshoot issues, or simply keep tabs on your TTS activity.
