Get Your Widget Script

After signing up, you'll land on your dashboard. Your widget script looks like this:

<script async src="https://cdn.prospeaker.io/widget.js"
        data-widget-key="YOUR_WIDGET_KEY"></script>

Click "Copy" in your dashboard to copy the script with your unique widget key.

3

Add to Your Website

Add the script tag anywhere in your HTML (in the <head> or <body>). The widget button will appear as a fixed-position button in the top-right corner by default.

Widget Placement:

  • Default: Fixed position button (top-right corner)
  • Custom location: Add data-target="your-element-id" to place it at a specific element
  • Inline placement: Create <div id="widget-container"></div> where you want the widget

WordPress

Add the script in Appearance → Theme Editor → header.php or use a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers".

Squarespace

Settings → Advanced → Code Injection → Header or Footer. Paste and save.

Webflow

Project Settings → Custom Code → Header Code or Footer Code. Paste and publish.

Custom HTML

Add the script tag anywhere in your HTML file (head or body). Upload.

Done! Test It Out

Visit one of your article pages. You should see a "Listen" button. Click it to hear your article.

Troubleshooting

  • No button appears? Check that the script is in your HTML. View page source and search for "prospeaker".
  • Button shows but no audio? Make sure your page has article content (headings, paragraphs).
  • Wrong content being read? We use Mozilla Readability to find articles. You can specify a CSS selector in settings.

Widget Types

ProSpeaker offers two widget styles. Choose in your dashboard:

Button Widget

A simple "Listen" button. Minimalist, fits any design. Best for blogs.

Player Widget

Full audio player with progress bar and controls. Best for long-form content.
