ARTICLE AUDIO ACCESSIBILITY · Workflow idea

Give readers the option to listen to your articles.

Turn a published article into a concise spoken summary or a full spoken version, then prepare the audio and an on-page player for editorial review. Keep the original article available so an editor can check the summary, voice, and placement before readers see the update.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An editor selects an article from the organization’s published collection

“Prepare a spoken summary or reading of the selected article and hold the audio and page update for editorial approval.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps publishers offer an audio option for written articles without preparing every recording from scratch.

  1. Choose an article and listening format

    Select the article and decide whether readers should hear a concise summary or a full spoken version.

  2. Prepare text for listening

    Create a readable summary or spoken version that preserves the article’s meaning and important qualifications.

  3. Record the proposed audio

    Turn the reviewed text into an audio file and keep it paired with its source article.

  4. Check the recording and page placement

    Have an editor listen for errors, verify names and claims, and confirm that the player appears in the intended place.

  5. Approve the update before readers hear it

    Publish the audio and update the article only after an authorized editor approves the exact recording and page change.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed audio file and article player, ready for an editor to check before publication.

The handoff

A proposed audio file and article player, ready for an editor to check before publication.

Keep in mind

A spoken summary may omit important qualifications, and a recording can mispronounce names or include material that should not be published. Check the audio against the article, confirm the content and voice are approved, and have an editor authorize the exact file and page update before it becomes public.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible article types

Decide which articles may receive an audio version and who owns the source material.

Set summary and voice preferences

Choose whether to create a short recap or full reading and agree on the preferred speaking style and audio quality.

Keep proposed audio unpublished

Choose where draft recordings are held and make sure they are not visible to readers before approval.

Assign an editor and test the full experience

Name who checks the recording and page, then test a short article, a longer article, and an update that needs correction.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
