What BeyondWords is
BeyondWords is an AI audio CMS from a London, England maker for publishers and newsrooms turning written articles into audio. It offers ready-made voices, instant voice cloning, and professional voice cloning, with voices in 154 languages and accents. Publishers can adjust pronunciations and refresh audio when article text changes. The platform supports audio and video summaries, interview clips, recorded quotes, and background music. Its player can be embedded and customized, with per-paragraph click-to-play, playlists, advertising, analytics, and video. BeyondWords says the player is WCAG 2 compliant and supports keyboard navigation and controls. Analytics cover plays, engagement rate, playback time, retention, device type, and filters; the company says they are GDPR-compliant, cookie-free, and do not store visitor personal data. Integrations include WordPress, Ghost, RSS, JavaScript, mobile SDKs, Spotify, OpenAI, Google Analytics, and Google Ad Manager. REST API access uses a Project ID and API key. Exports include MP3 and M3U8. Pricing is custom: a monthly platform fee plus usage fees for generated audio or video.
