Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records BeyondSky Text to Voice version 1.0.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Text to Voice adds a “Convert text to voice (MP3)” button to the WordPress post editor. One click sends the article text to an AI text‑to‑speech service, saves the resulting MP3 in your Media Library, and shows an audio player at the top of the published article so visitors can listen instead of read.
Features
One‑click narration from the post edit screen.
Choose your AI voice provider — Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and ElevenLabs built in, plus a bsktv_providers filter so developers can add their own.
MP3 is stored in the WordPress Media Library (no third‑party hosting).
Choose where the player appears: above the article, below it, after the first paragraph, or place it anywhere with the [bsktv_player] shortcode.
Choose from three player designs — Minimal, Card, or Accent — with a customizable label and accent colour.
Choose your default voice and model, and cap the narration to the first N words to control cost.
Long posts are split into chunks and recombined automatically.
Works with any public post type that uses the editor.
Lightweight & theme‑friendly. bsktv-* in one small inline stylesheet loaded only on single posts, and themes all three designs from a single accent colour.
External services
This plugin sends data to a third‑party AI text‑to‑speech service only when you click “Convert text to voice” — it sends the post’s text content and your API key to the provider you selected in the settings, and receives an MP3 in return. No data is sent otherwise. An account and API key with the chosen provider are required, and usage is billed by that provider.
