How it works

Here is the simple flow from writing a post to hearing audio on your site—without needing to manage servers or code.

When audio is created

New post — when you publish a post and automatic generation is on, Voicgen starts building audio for that article (as long as you have not turned off audio for that post).

Updates — if the post is already published and you change the title or main content, Voicgen can create fresh audio to match. Changing only tags, categories, or the featured image does not trigger a new generation, so routine housekeeping does not use your allowance by accident.

Manual — use Generate audio or Regenerate audio in the Voicgen Audio panel. The post must be published first; the button stays disabled on drafts until you publish.

What gets turned into speech

Voicgen uses your post's content the way readers see it after WordPress processes blocks and shortcodes, so the narration matches your article. Very short posts may not be ideal for audio; long articles may take a bit longer to finish generating.

While audio is processing

In the post editor, the status moves through stages such as Queued and Generating until it reaches Ready—or Failed if something went wrong. You can keep working; the panel updates as Voicgen finishes. If generation takes unusually long, refresh the editor or try Regenerate audio after a few minutes.

On the live site

Visitors see the player on the single post view (the normal article page), in the position you chose in settings or where you placed the shortcode. Archive pages and the home page listing do not show the full player automatically—readers open the post to listen.
