I want to turn my blog into audio so people can listen to it!

Are you looking for ways to make your blog or note more attractive and get more people to access it?

In such cases, we recommend turning your blog into audio!

By adding audio to your blog, readers can "listen while doing" other things like housework or driving, which allows them to stay on your blog for a longer time.

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

What you will learn in this article:

1. Recommended methods to turn a blog into audio
2. Recommended audio conversion & blog embedding procedures
3. Situations where blog audio conversion is useful

What are the recommended methods to turn a blog into audio?

There are two main methods to turn a blog into audio.

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

Both methods are free and fine!

The AI reading 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 where HTML tags cannot be embedded, there is also a method to download and embed MP3 files.

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 add audio.

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

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

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

1. Create MP3 audio on the Ondoku site

First, open the top page of the text-to-speech site 『Ondoku』.

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

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

• Author name
• Post date
• Sidebar
• Related articles
• Image alt attributes

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

If you paste a long article as is, the audio tends to become very long, so it is also recommended to divide it into "first half/second half" or "by chapter" instead of having it all read at once.

After that, just select the voice and press the "Read" button.

With the latest AI, the reading voice is completed in just about 1 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 reading voice like this.

2. Copy the embed tag on the Ondoku site

After turning the blog content into audio, next, copy the embed tag.

To copy the embed tag, first click the "Share" button.

Then, the audio details page will open.

In "Public Settings", check "Public" and click "Change".

With this, the created audio file is now in a public state.

Scroll down and click "Copy Embed Tag".

Then, you can copy the embed tag (HTML tag).

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

Paste the copied embed tag into your blog post.

As an example this time, we will embed the audio into a Hatena Blog article.

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

Paste the copied embed tag.

Then just post and publish the blog article.

With this, we have successfully turned the blog post into audio and embedded the MP3 file.

As you can see, turning a blog post into audio with Ondoku is very easy.

Why don't you try embedding audio created with Ondoku into your blog?

How to download and post MP3

Audio read by Ondoku can also be embedded in blogs or note by downloading the MP3 file.

To save the MP3 file, click the "Download" button.

How to embed audio files in a note article

Since embed tags cannot be used in note articles, use the audio embedding function to post MP3 files.

To embed an audio file, first click "+" 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)

as well.

After that, just publish the article.

Now you have successfully turned the note article into audio and embedded it.

Utilizing MP3 files on Podcasts or YouTube is also recommended

Audio-converted MP3 files 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 blog article content via audio.

In the case of YouTube as well, you can post it as a video just by combining the MP3 with a still image, so you can expand the same content to three locations: blog, Podcast, and YouTube.

5 reasons why blog post audio conversion is recommended

Up to this point, we have explained how to turn blog posts 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 doing" during commutes or housework

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

• In trains or buses
• While driving a car
• While doing housework like cooking or cleaning
• Walking or running

Even when it is difficult to read text, people can enjoy your blog content.

2. Information can reach people who are not good with long texts

Another major benefit 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 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 the blog into audio allows them to listen to the end while resting their eyes.

3. Improved accessibility for readers with visual impairments

By turning a blog into audio, you can also increase 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 especially recommended for corporate official blogs and official websites of public institutions.

Considering accessibility also leads to the overall reliability of the blog.

4. Audio can also be posted as Podcasts or videos

By creating MP3s with a text-to-speech service, you will 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 movements.

With the blog as the axis, you can expand to new readers coming from Podcasts and YouTube, so you can increase access steadily.

5. Readers' stay time can be increased

When you embed audio in a blog article, visitors who only read the article turn into visitors who "go back after also listening to the audio."

Therefore, the stay time per article naturally becomes longer, and evaluation from search engines becomes higher.

Of course, there are also major benefits in conveying the content of the blog to readers.

Unlike text articles being skimmed, listening allows the entire content of the article to be deeply understood, making it easier for the writer's style and thoughts to reach the reader.

As you can see, turning a blog into audio has many benefits.
