Settings and configurations

The following are configuration options you can modify as you see fit:

  • Pick a narrator for your content: Please choose the language of your content and the voice you would like to use. In case you have multiple languages on your site, choose the main one and configure the correct language on the individual post level.
  • Voice style: Choose the type of reading you would like to use. For example, choose news (formal) for formal news content. Please note that only narrators that have a wave icon next to the, support voice styles.
  • Play premium version: In case the voice has a better version than chosen, click it to hear how it could sound like.
  • Default player speed: Choose the default player speed. Listeners could still change it from the player menu if needed.
  • Theme: Choose the player theme you want.
  • The player itself: Click the play to listen to a sample from the selected narrator.
  • Player features: Add the relevant player features to your site.
  • FAB (Floating Action Button: Enable a floating action button that will control the player for users scrolling while reading.
  • Player name: Give the player a name. You would see that name in the Trinity Audio dashboard.
  • Skip HTML tags: Use this if you want to avoid generating audio for specific parts of posts based on the tags (content blacklist).
  • Allow shortcodes: By default, the Trinity Audio player will read only the textual content of your post and will filter out all additional texts generated using plugins or shortcodes. If you would like to add shortcodes that you would like the player to read, please add them using comma delimiter. For example: vc_row, vc_column, su_heading, etc… After you change those settings, make sure to use “Activate for all posts” to allow those configurations to update.
  • Player position: The position of the audio player on your page. We recommend placing the player before the main article text.
  • Player label: Specifies optional text you’d like to be shown above the audio player (HTML tags are supported with this label).
  • Help us reach more users: Choose if you want to display credit next to the player. We’d very much appreciate it if you choose to give us credit.
  • Resource preconnect: This feature will allow us to load the player faster on your page so we strongly advise enabling it.
  • New post default: Enable this to make sure that the Trinity Audio player will be added to each new post you publish.

I have migrated my site and the plugin doesn’t work – what should I do?

If you’ve registered before and are now migrating to a new database or hosting service, please insert your previous Recovery Token while installing the plugin again. Your Recovery Token can be found in your previous admin panel, under Trinity Audio -> Info -> Recovery Token. If you can’t found it, reach out to our support and we’ll gladly help you [email protected]

The player is reading text that it shouldn’t – how to fix it?

In case you already know what elements are being read and shouldn’t, use the “Skip HTML tags” section in the plugin. Place the relevant HTML elements the player should avoid. If that’s not helping, please reach out to our support [email protected] and we’ll help out

The player is not reading all the text it should – how to fix it?

In case the elements missed are added using shortcodes, use the “Allow shortcodes” section and add the relevant shortcodes. If that’s not helping, please reach out to our support [email protected] and we’ll help out

I don’t see the player on a post it be on. Why is that?

The main reason that might cause that is lack of credits. Once there are no more credits, the player will not appear on new posts. Please visit the plugin’s page and check that you still have enough credits left as part of your plan.
