As a site visitor, I want to listen to an audio version of blog articles, so that I can consume content hands-free or in an audio format that fits my accessibility needs.

Goals:

  • Increase content consumption and time-on-site for multi-tasking users.
  • Improve site inclusivity by providing an auditory alternative to long-form reading.

Requirements:

  • An intuitive, embedded audio player near the top of eligible blog posts (with standard controls like play/pause, progress bar, total time & time left, etc).
  • This should include an admin toggle to enable or disable per post. (to save on costs & bandwidth, also not all content translates to natural speech)
  • Audio should focus on article body only (skip categories, tags, image captions, etc.)
