Read Aloud · for blogs
Give every article a play button
One line of HTML at the top of your posts and your readers can listen instead of read. No plugin, no recording booth, no editing. You write the article — we narrate it.

This is what your readers see
Three steps. One of them is pasting.
If you can add a script tag to your post template, you can ship this today.
Create your free account
Sign up with Google or an email address. No card, no sales call, no install.
Register your blog
Type your hostname in the Read Aloud dashboard and we hand you a ready-to-paste snippet with your own installation ID.
Paste one line into your template
Drop it at the top of your post layout. The first reader who hits play generates the audio; everyone after that gets it instantly.
The whole integration:
<div data-tgo-listen data-integration="YOUR_ID"></div>
<script async src="https://transcribego.com/widgets/blog-audio-v1.js"></script>That is it. The player renders where you put the div.
Why bother?
Because a big share of the people who open your article were never going to read it to the end.
Readers who never had time now finish your post
Commutes, dishes, the gym. Audio reaches the part of your audience that was never going to sit and read 2,000 words.
Time on page goes up, not bounce
A visitor who presses play stays for the length of the article instead of skimming two paragraphs and leaving.
Accessibility you get for free
People with dyslexia, low vision, or screen fatigue get a first-class way to read you — without you maintaining anything.
Speaks your readers’ language
The player UI ships in 12 languages and follows your page’s lang attribute, so it never looks bolted on.
A real player, not a robot toy
Natural-sounding narration, a scrub bar, and 1×–2× playback speed for the people who listen fast.
You can see if it works
Your dashboard counts articles generated and plays per installation, so this stops being a guess.
Built to be forgotten about
The best thing an embed can do is never appear in your bug tracker.
✓It cannot break your CSS
The whole player lives inside a shadow root with its styles reset. Your theme cannot leak in, and it cannot leak out.
✓It cannot slow your page down
One small async script, zero dependencies, nothing render-blocking. Nothing loads until the widget mounts.
✓It matches your design
Light, dark, or auto via a single data-theme attribute. Flip it at runtime and the card repaints without interrupting playback.
✓Audio is generated once
The first play renders the article; every later reader streams the same file. You are not billed twice for the same post.

The same account does the reverse, too
Read Aloud turns your writing into audio. TranscribeGo also turns audio into writing: drop in a recording, a video, or a link and get an accurate transcript, subtitles, a summary, or a translation. Interviews become quotes. Voice notes become drafts. It is all one account and one workspace.
Questions people actually ask
Do my readers need an account?
No. They press play and listen. Only you, the blog owner, need an account.
Do I need a plugin?
No. It is plain HTML and works on any platform where you can edit your post template — WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, Next.js, Astro, Hugo, a hand-written site.
What does it cost?
Creating an account and installing the widget is free. Audio generation runs on a monthly allowance of minutes that comes with the paid plans, and prices depend on your country — open the app to see yours.
How long does the first render take?
Usually a couple of minutes for a normal-length article. The player shows a spinner and starts playing on its own when the audio is ready.
What happens when I edit an article?
The audio you already generated keeps serving. Re-rendering an updated post is on the roadmap.
Is this the only thing TranscribeGo does?
No — Read Aloud is one part of it. TranscribeGo also turns audio and video into text, subtitles and translations, in the browser or through the WhatsApp and Telegram bots. The same account covers all of it.
