Easy Integration

Adding the Speechify play button to your website is simple. With just a few lines of code, you can embed a fully functional audio player that blends seamlessly with your site's design.

Enhanced User Engagement

Audio options can lead to longer visit durations on a website. Users often prefer listening to content while multitasking. Websites that offer the Speechify play button can capture the attention of users who might otherwise leave due to the lack of time or interest in reading large blocks of text.

Accessibility

Offering content that reads aloud makes websites more accessible, especially for people with visual impairments, reading disabilities like dyslexia, or those who have difficulties with written text due to educational disparities. This inclusivity not only broadens the audience base but also complies with web accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Speed Listening

With the Speechify play button, users can adjust the playback speed up to 5x, allowing for quicker consumption of content. This speed reading feature is particularly useful for those who want to absorb information rapidly or have limited time to engage with content.

Wide Range of Voices and Languages

The Speechify play button can support over 200 lifelike AI voices available in more than 50 languages, enhancing the global accessibility of your website. This variety allows you to personalize the auditory experience to better suit the linguistic preferences of your diverse audience.

Improved Comprehension and Retention

Audio content can help improve comprehension and memory retention. Studies show that options like the Speechify play button can be particularly effective for complex information or for individuals who are auditory learners. 

Better SEO Potential

Websites with audio content via the Speechify play button can potentially rank better in search engines as they offer multimedia elements that are favored by algorithms when indexing content. Providing text transcripts of audio content can also further enhance SEO.

Increased Emotional Connection

The lifelike human voices available through the Speechify play button can convey emotions more effectively than text. Audio content can make the communication more personal and engaging, potentially increasing user loyalty and emotional connection with the brand.
