Hey community, A few weeks ago, we started experimenting with text-to-speech AI that converts blog posts to audio files. Today, I would like to share with you the first demo page with an audio player where you can listen to a blog post instead of reading it. Do you think it is good enough for a production website? > **[Email Marketing: The Anatomy of an Effective Marketing Email](https://absolut.kohorta.co/blog/email-marketing-the-anatomy-of-an-effective-marketing-email)** > > Email marketing can be a great way to connect with your customers and promote your business. But it can be difficult to know where to start. ---

Hi @RomanGruit Thank you for reaching out. I want to tag some of our experts here - @danmoyle @Josh [@Olivia\_Bagnall](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/359008) do you have any thought to share with @RomanGruit on this? Thank you! Best Tiphaine ---

Thanks for the tag [@TitiCuisset](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/89150). I love the idea of being able to listen to an article, not just have to read it. A couple of thoughts: First, I almost missed it. The player is really subtle and kind of hidden under the post title. As a listener, I’d like the option to listen faster. 1.25, 1.5 and 2x speed would be great. Also, the reading feels very robotic. I prefer a more natural reading. But overall I think this is a great option to start testing for sure. Nice work @RomanGruit & team! ---

Our text-to-speech integration for a blog got the HubSpot marketplace listed. Give it a try! Here is the link - [HubSpot Marketplace](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/marketing/cms/voice-223120) ---

It’s close.. But still robotic, and the voice is awful. Would the paid version have more voice options, speed control, maybe read a little less robotic? Thanks, we’ve been wanting this functionality for a while.. ---

Yeah, that is true. I also was hesitant if people used it. Nevertheless, some folks think it is good enough for production. It evolves super fast. The last voice pack update was quite good. I predict the next one will be even closer to an actual human. About features request. Would you mind setting up a call and discussing it in more detail? ---

I went to your website and the voice on that demo sounds pretty good. I also like that you can easily update the colors of the player. I installed on a blog and it has demo audio that says “It will be replaced with the blog post audio once editing is completed”. What editing is it referring to? I published the page and it didn’t change. Is there a way to test the blog article audio? Thanks ---

Hey @PSM, I’ve checked your account. It seems that the Voice installation wasn’t finished. Here is what needs to be done to activate integration fully: 1. Log in to Voice. 2. Navigate to [Voice](https://voice.kohorta.co/onboarding) 3. Choose colors for your portal and activate the player for public display on your blog post pages. We can set up a call and do it together if you want. It is free. Here is my calendar where you can book some time with me [https://meetings.hubspot.com/roman-kozak](https://meetings.hubspot.com/roman-kozak)
