About this plugin
mazdek AI brings Kurdish voice and language tools to WordPress.
Listen to every article
- A clean, accessible listen button on your posts, in Kurmancî, Soranî or Kirmanckî.
- Choose the voice: browse the full voice catalogue in the plugin, filter by gender and style and press ▶ to hear a sample.
- All posts or only some: read every post, only the categories you pick, or all except some. Every post can override the rule in the editor.
- Audio is made once per article and served to every visitor. When you edit a post, the new text gets new audio.
- Generate automatically when a post is published, or only when the first visitor presses play.
- Audio for your archive: read all published posts, or only some categories and a period. See how many posts, characters and roughly what it costs before you start; it runs in the background in small batches and can be paused, resumed or stopped.
- Optional: keep a copy of every audio file in your media library, so the player plays it from your own server.
- A beautiful player: waveform you can click and drag, 15 s back/forward, speed, “continue where you left off”, a mini player that follows the reader while scrolling, and lock-screen/headphone controls on phones.
- Make it yours: full or compact layout, light/dark/automatic theme, your brand color, corner style and button text — with a live preview while you choose.
- Player above or below the post, or exactly where you put [mazdek_player]. Right-to-left layout for Soranî.
- Monthly character limit to keep your spending under control.
Rastnivîs in the editor

- A full check in the mazdek AI panel lists every mistake; click one to see it in the post.
- Diacritics completion for Kurmancî and Kirmanckî (î, ê, û, ş, ç).
- AI grammar check (optional).
- Optional Rastnivîs button under your comment form for visitors.
