  • Do you collect any data?

    We don't collect neither sell any data, that is not our business. We only collect the required data for the operation of the service.

  • What do you mean by “new audio play”?

    A new audio play is considered as the first instance of conversion (text to audio) per day. All the subsequent plays on the same article are unlimited and not counted for that day.

    For example, you have an article on one webpage and 3 visitors are coming from different locations. The first person who will click the play button will be the only one counted as the “new audio play” that day, and the next 2 visitors are not counted anymore.

    One audio play is equivalent to about 1000 words. If you have 10 audio plays available on your account (Professional package), it will be equal to 10 articles that contain 1000 words each or 1 long article of up to 10,000 words, which can be converted once per day.

    If one article exceeds 1000 words (e.g. 1800 words), it will then consume 2 audio plays per day for the first play.

  • I've added the script to my site and the widget is not appearing.

    If you added the script but still the widget is not appearing in your website, it might be that the widget fails to automatically detect the text or article in your website. You must use the custom text CSS selector to specify what is the text that must be read in the widget area.

  • How to use "Custom text CSS selector"

    If the widget is not appearing automatically on your website or you want to specify the location or text to read by the widget, you can do it by using a custom CSS selector.

    To do that, you will have to create a CSS selector for the HTML element that you want the widget to read.

    For example if you have the following HTML element <div class="text-to-read">I want to read this text with WebsiteVoice</div> you would specify the following custom CSS text selector: .text-to-read in the widget creation page of the dashboard.

  • How to place the button in a different place

    If you want to keep reading the same text but display the button in a different place, add the following code where you want the button to appear:

    <div class="wv-button-placeholder"></div>

    The button is injected to your website so you can override the styles with CSS and style it your own way.
