About this plugin
AudioLinter helps WordPress teams review spoken-word audio before publishing. It adds an editorial workflow to the WordPress admin so editors can upload or select an audio file, run automated checks, and review actionable quality feedback without leaving the post editor.
AudioLinter is built for podcast, radio, newsroom, and editorial teams that need fast and repeatable audio quality control.
Key benefits:
- Automated Audio QC for spoken-word publishing workflows
- Loudness normalization guidance based on podcast-friendly target ranges
- Silence Detection to catch Dead Air and playback interruptions
- Clear pass/fail feedback for loudness, peaks, and silent sections
- Optional repair workflows for plans that include audio fixing
Try it before you install
You can check a file without installing anything: the free loudness check at
com/tools/loudness-check measures an episode against Apple
Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or EBU R128 — inside your own browser tab. Nothing is
1770-4
calculation this plugin uses.
The plugin adds what a browser tab cannot: repair, handling many files, and the
result stored on the post so the next editor sees it.
AudioLinter uses an external service to process audio.
External service details:
- Service endpoint: https://api.audiolinter.com
- Purpose: secure upload, audio analysis, status polling, and optional repair processing
- Required for core plugin features: yes
- Terms of Service: https://audiolinter.com/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://audiolinter.com/datenschutz
Depending on the feature you use, the plugin may send the following data to the AudioLinter service:
- your AudioLinter API key
- your site URL or domain for account and quota validation
- selected audio files for analysis or repair processing
- upload session metadata such as filename, mime type, and file size
- analysis task IDs, job status data, and result payloads
The plugin includes an explicit consent setting in the WordPress admin. Audio files are not sent for processing until a site administrator agrees to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and explicitly consents to external processing.
An AudioLinter account and valid API key are required for analysis and repair features.
