Set up once. Scale forever.

Follow the seven-part workflow our customers use to go live in under five minutes and keep audio content updated automatically.

Add Your Site

Connect your website or CMS — WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, or any platform that supports embed code. Once connected, Butter Reader automatically scans your site for blog posts or articles so you can review them inside your dashboard.

Choose Your Voice

Select from a library of AI voices powered by OpenAI and ElevenLabs. Customize tone, pacing, and gender so every narration sounds like your brand — warm and conversational, clear and professional, or energetic and bold.

Every voice is tuned to sound natural and human, never robotic.

Design Your Player

Pick a layout (waveform, bar, or minimal), choose brand colors, and preview animations in real time. Match typography, border styles, and accent colors so the player looks perfectly native to your site.

Embed Once

Copy and paste a single script tag into your site. Butter Reader detects new posts, converts them to audio, and publishes your player without any additional manual work.

<script 
  src="https://app.butterreader.blog/widget/AudioPlayerWidget.bundle.js" 
  data-player-id="your-player-id">
</script>
