What is a blog reader? Giving your posts a listen button

A blog reader is a small audio widget that lets visitors listen to a post instead of reading it. Press play, and your article is narrated aloud. Think of it as a second front door to the same writing.

Why add one

• Reach busy readers — commuters, multitaskers, and people with screen fatigue can consume your work when reading isn't an option.
• Accessibility — readers with low vision or dyslexia get a first-class way to engage.
• Engagement — listeners tend to stay on the page longer, and every post becomes two assets instead of one.

We made the full case in why every blog needs an audio version.

How a blog reader works

A modern blog reader is just an audio widget you embed once. It either reads the page content automatically or plays audio you've generated, with natural AI voices doing the narration. No recording booth required.

Adding one to your site

Create a player, then paste the snippet where you want the listen button:

<script src="https://butter-reader.web.app/widget/AudioPlayerWidget.bundle.js"
        data-player-id="YOUR_PLAYER_ID"></script>

It works on WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Squarespace, and plain HTML — see the docs.

Add a blog reader free and let your audience listen.
