With the rise of podcasts, audiobooks, and voice-powered search engines, there is a whole new demographic of people who prefer to consume their content with their ear holes, as opposed to their eyeballs.
Are you catering to this demographic? If not, you should be. Let’s take a look at some stats and see why1:

- As opposed to blog readers, blog listeners are nearly 20% more likely to visit other pages on your site.
- Blog listeners are 32% more likely to engage in multiple sessions than blog readers.
- First-time visitors who don’t engage with audio spend an average of 2 seconds on page, as opposed to first-time visitors who engage with audio who spend an average of 225 seconds on page.
Why do Some People Prefer to Listen to Content?
There are a number of reasons people prefer to listen to and not read blog content, including:
- They’re trying to reduce screen time.
- Listening is a better use of their time than reading.2
- The ability to multi-task.
- They’re able to process info more efficiently.3
Regardless of why these millions of blog visitors prefer to listen than read, the fact is that they do. And if you’re not catering to what they want, they’ll move on to a blog that is.

How Our Text to Audio Services Work
We offer our first text to audio conversion, up to 5000 words, for free.
We will take your written content, and convert it into an MP3 audio file with a human-sounding voice. There will be some slight editing from the written content, but only so that it sounds more like a human reading the article than a machine.
You can either host the audio file yourself, or we can host it for you. We’ll send you the code to easily embed the audio into your blog. Viola – you’ve just offered your readers a service that your competitors haven’t.
