Adding audio to your blog allows for "listening while multitasking" during housework or driving, which can encourage visitors to stay on your blog for a longer time.

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce how to convert blog articles into MP3 audio and embed them.

What you will learn in this article:

2. Recommended steps for audio conversion & blog embedding
3. Situations where blog audio conversion is useful

What are the recommended methods for turning a blog into audio?

There are two main methods for turning a blog into audio.

1. Convert the blog into audio using a text-to-speech site and embed it
2. Use a text-to-speech plugin for WordPress

Both methods can be done for free!

The AI text-to-speech site Ondoku has an embed tag function, so you can easily embed the created MP3 files into your blog and post them.

For services like note that do not allow the embedding of HTML tags, there is also a method to download the MP3 file and embed it.

Also, if you are using WordPress for your blog, the official Ondoku WordPress plugin is recommended.

By using the WordPress plugin, you don't need to create MP3s yourself every time you post a new article, and you can easily include audio.

In this article, we will first introduce how to create MP3 files from blog articles using the text-to-speech site Ondoku and embed them into your articles.

By using Ondoku's embed tag function, even beginners can easily post audio to their blogs.

How to convert blog articles into audio and embed them in posts

1. Create MP3 audio on the Ondoku site

First, open the Ondoku top page.

Copy the body of the blog article you want to turn into audio and paste it into the input field.

The key here is to delete unnecessary parts other than the article body before pasting.

• Author name
• Posting date
• Sidebar
• Related articles
• Alt attributes of images

By ensuring these are not included, you can create a natural and easy-to-listen-to audio.

Pasting a long article as is can result in a very long audio, so it is also recommended to split it into parts like "first half and second half" or "by chapter" instead of reading everything at once.

Then, just select the voice and press the "Read" button.

With the latest AI, the read-aloud audio is completed in just about one minute!

Once the reading process is finished, the screen will switch and the audio will play.

For example, in this case, we were able to create a read-aloud audio like this.

2. Copy the embed tag on the Ondoku site

Then, the audio detail page will open.

In the "Publish Settings", check "Publish" and click "Change".

The created audio file is now in a public state.

Scroll down and click "Copy embed tag".

You can then copy the embed tag (HTML tag).

3. Paste the embed tag into the blog article and post

Paste the copied embed tag into your blog article.

In this example, we will embed audio into a Hatena Blog article.

Open the Hatena Blog edit page and switch to HTML editing.

Paste the copied embed tag.

Finally, just post and publish the blog article.

You have now successfully converted the blog article to audio and embedded the MP3 file.

As you can see, converting blog articles to audio with Ondoku is very easy.

To embed an audio file, first click the "+" on the note posting/editing screen.

Click "Audio" from the options.

Select the file.

In the screen that opens after selecting the file, enter the audio file's:

• Cover image
• Title (Required)
• Author (Required)

Input these details.

Then, just publish the article.

The note article has now been converted to audio and embedded.

Utilizing MP3 files on Podcasts or YouTube is also recommended

Audio files converted to MP3 can be used conveniently for purposes other than embedding in blog articles.

For example, if you upload the MP3 to a podcast distribution service like Spotify or Apple Podcasts, you can distribute the content of your blog articles via audio.

In the case of YouTube, you can post the content as a video simply by combining the MP3 with a still image, allowing you to expand the same content across three platforms: Blog, Podcast, and YouTube.

5 reasons why turning blog articles into audio is recommended

So far, we have explained how to turn blog articles into audio.

Next, we will briefly explain the reasons why turning your blog into audio is recommended and the situations where it is useful.

1. People can listen while commuting or doing housework

When you turn your blog into audio, there is no need to read the text, so people can listen to the content in their free time.

• On trains or buses
• While driving
• While doing housework such as cooking or cleaning
• While walking or running

In this way, people can enjoy the content of your blog even when it is difficult to read text.

2. Information can be delivered to people who are not good at reading long texts

Another big advantage of turning a blog into audio is that information can be delivered to people who are not good at reading long printed texts and who usually do not read written articles or books.

You can also get people who are better at understanding by listening to access your blog.

For those whose eyes are tired from working on a computer or looking at a smartphone screen for a long time, turning your blog into audio allows them to listen until the end while resting their eyes.

3. Improved accessibility for visually impaired readers

By turning your blog into audio, you can also improve accessibility for readers with visual impairments or readers who find it difficult to read small characters due to aging.

Turning the entire blog into audio is particularly recommended for official corporate blogs and official websites of public institutions.

Being mindful of accessibility also leads to increased trust in the blog as a whole.

4. Audio can also be posted as Podcasts or videos

By creating MP3s with a text-to-speech service, you will also be able to distribute them on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, or post them as YouTube videos by combining them with still images or images with simple movement.

Using the blog as a base, you can expand to new readers coming from Podcasts and YouTube, allowing you to steadily increase your traffic.

5. You can increase the time readers stay on your site

When you embed audio in a blog article, visitors who would only read the article change into visitors who "also listen to the audio before leaving."

Therefore, the staying time per article naturally becomes longer, which improves evaluation from search engines.

Of course, there is also a great advantage in conveying the content of the blog to the readers.

Unlike when written articles are skimmed, listening by ear allows for a deeper understanding of the entire content of the article, making it easier for the writer's style and thoughts to reach the reader.

As you can see, there are many benefits to turning your blog into audio.

Why don't you try further enhancing the appeal of your blog or note using the methods introduced in this article?
