WordWave is compatible with OpenAI gpt-4o-mini-tts and ElevenLabs AI Text to Speech, which you purchase directly, ensuring the best pricing. AI credits are not marked up and resold by 5 Star Plugins. AI credits are used when audio is generated, NOT each time it is played. WordWave generates audio and stores the MP3 in your WordPress site for playback; it is not generated each time a visitor listens. Please check OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini-tts) or ElevenLabs (ElevenAPI) for current plans and pricing. It is a nominal cost, just cents per minute of audio generated. Actual costs depend on characters processed and the voice model used; users pay the AI service directly.

Using WordWave is easy and does not require any technical expertise or coding. Get it working quickly in a few simple steps. After installing and activating the plugin, navigate to "WordWave" in your WordPress admin menu. From the plugin "Settings" tab, add your AI TTS account and select your preferences. Check "Auto-Generate On Publish" to automatically generate audio on future posts. From the plugin "Narrations" tab, you can bulk generate audio for existing posts or create each individually with one click. Test it out by visiting a post. You will find the WordWave audio player displayed everywhere there is audio.
