Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility”, “text to audio” and “tts” for “kannada”, “speech” and “waveform”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kannada” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “text to audio” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “speech” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “tts” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “waveform” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 17.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 14 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “accessibility”, “text to audio” and “tts” for “kannada”, “speech” and “waveform”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kannada” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “text to audio” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “speech” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “tts” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “waveform” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “text to audio”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “tts”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

the best TTS wordpress plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ henvy10mo ago
Having tried different options, this plugin is by far the best one I’ve come across. It’s simple to set up, has a bunch of options to customize the critical parts and does exactly what it says. Works in many different languages, and most importantly for me – in Estonian as well. Before setting up the plugin I had to clarify something via customer support and the creator replied to all my emails within 15 minutes. Amazing customer service. Once my client’s site becomes bigger and the free credits run out, I will happily pay for the pro version. You only get one shot at making a first impression and this plugin did it with flying colours. I can understand how this may sound like a paid comment or something, but I’m honestly just relieved that it worked so well. I was stressing over adding a proper TTS to the project I’m working on and feared it was gonna be a nightmare.

I run a blog focused on practical wisdom for professionals navigating midlife transitions. Adding audio narration was on my list for months, but I kept putting it off, assuming the setup would be a headache. It wasn’t. The installation was straightforward, and the documentation is genuinely impressive—extensive without being overwhelming, clearly written, and logically organized. I was up and running faster than expected. What sealed it for me was the developer support. When I had questions, the response was fast, helpful, and human. No canned replies, no runaround—just someone who clearly cares about their product and the people using it. The plugin does exactly what it promises: natural-sounding narration with word highlighting that keeps readers engaged. The OpenAI TTS integration with custom prompt instructions let me dial in the exact tone I wanted for my content. If you’re looking for a text-to-speech solution for WordPress and want something that actually works without becoming a side project, this is it.<gwmw style=”display:none;”></gwmw>

Friendly and fast support. Highly recommended.

This is by far the most powerful and versatile Text-to-Speech plugin available for WordPress. The quality of the generated audio, especially with ElevenLabs integration, is simply outstanding. The developer, Karim, provides exceptional support. He is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping users resolve issues and implement custom requests. His recent updates have been fantastic, addressing many common pain points. If you need a reliable, high-quality TTS solution with excellent developer support, look no further. This plugin is a game-changer for content creators.

It works, I have never had so fast and professionell support. Birr Karim is fantastic.In this plugin you can use Azure and many other services, so you do not need an expensive third party plugin. Absolutely recommend using the Pro version, it’s brilliant.
