For news publishers

AI audio narration built for the speed of news

Voicgen turns every article into natural, on-page audio the moment it publishes — so readers can listen to the news on your site, in a consistent house voice, without booking studio time or handling files. It fits your CMS, scales across every desk, and keeps listeners on your domain — AI audio for news publishers who need text to speech for news that sounds like the newsroom, not a generic widget.

News runs fast and at volume. Voicgen connects to your publishing workflow, generates narration when stories publish (typically within minutes for a standard article), and surfaces an on-brand news audio player on the story — across desks and in multiple languages.

Why news publishers choose Voicgen

Built for speed

Audio is ready when the story goes live — typically within minutes after publish for a standard article, so the listen option ships with the news, not days later.

Scales across desks

Handle high volume with a consistent house voice for publishers — no drift between reporters, tools, or recording days.

Reach more readers

Give commuters, multitasking, low-vision, and dyslexic readers accessible news content they can consume by ear — and add multilingual news audio for international audiences.

Built for the way newsrooms work

One house voice across desks

Keep a recognizable newsroom voice on every story with voice cloning and a preset library.

Summaries & audio briefings

A transcript travels with the audio for accessibility, SEO, and skim-readers who want to follow along while they listen to news articles.

Multilingual editions

Publish localized audio for international readers without a separate studio per market.

Audio for news publishers — FAQ

Last updated: June 1, 2026

How quickly can audio go live on a new story?

When WordPress auto-generation is enabled, or when RSS polling or your API delivers a new story, Voicgen queues narration shortly after publish—typically within minutes for a standard article, depending on length and queue volume. Longer pieces take longer to render; we do not promise instant audio on every breaking headline.

Will it scale to our publishing volume?

Yes. Voicgen is built for high-volume publishing across desks, with a consistent house voice rather than per-story studio recording. Self-serve Publisher covers up to 50 articles per month; Enterprise offers custom article volume and audio minutes for newsrooms that publish at scale.

Does audio help with accessibility requirements?

Audio is an accessibility enhancement—it gives more readers, including low-vision and dyslexic audiences, a way to consume your stories on your site. It complements, but does not replace, site-level accessibility work such as semantic HTML, captions, and keyboard navigation. For legal compliance (ADA, WCAG, the EU Accessibility Act), consult your accessibility and legal teams.

Can we use one consistent voice across the newsroom?

Yes. Use a cloned house voice or a preset from the library, applied across desks so every story sounds like your publication.

Does it work with our CMS?

Voicgen connects to WordPress with a native plugin, Ghost and other CMSs through RSS polling, and custom publishing stacks through the REST API—so stories flow in without changing your editorial workflow.

Can we publish audio in multiple languages?

Yes. Voicgen supports multilingual narration for localized editions of the same story, with regional voices on the Publisher plan and broader language programs on Enterprise.
