I just shipped Speechable — a free, open-source AI text-to-speech solution for WordPress that runs entirely in the browser with no API keys, no paid services, and no server infrastructure.

I wrote a full write-up here: https://tanishmittal.com/speechable-ai-text-to-speech-for-wo...

What it does

Adds a native audio player to WordPress posts

Uses browser-based neural TTS

Supports 12+ languages

Offers multiple voice presets & effects

Lets visitors download audio

Highlights words in sync with narration

Why I built it

Most TTS plugins depend on expensive APIs, external servers, and data sharing. I wanted:

Privacy-first experiences

No recurring costs

High-quality voice output

Easy install for any WordPress site

Try it

Repo & docs: https://github.com/tansihmittal/speechable

Would love feedback — especially on:

UX pain points

Performance in real blogs

Edge cases you think it should support

If you try it or build something cool with it, shoutout on X: @glowdopera

Thanks!
