BeyondWords
BeyondWords turns written articles into publishable audio through an audio CMS built for newsrooms and digital publishers. Connect WordPress, Ghost, or an RSS feed, and each article gets a narrated version with a branded player you embed in a few lines of code. The platform handles pronunciation rules, metadata mapping, and smart updates that regenerate only changed paragraphs.
Generic text-to-speech tools bill by characters and treat every snippet the same. BeyondWords prices by article and stores audio alongside CMS metadata like authors, categories, and identifiers. That article-first model, plus pronunciation controls for names and industry terms, targets publishers who need predictable costs at scale rather than one-off voice generation.
News publishers, editorial teams, and digital media companies use BeyondWords to add listen buttons without hiring voice actors. Clients include Mediacorp, News Corp, and The Irish Times. Teams can clone editorial voices in 24 hours, mix in music and interview clips, and monetize playback through Google Ad Manager integrations.
