Shortcodes

Shortcodes are snippets of code that display the text to speech control panel (which contains play, pause, etc..)

Basic Usage – Inserts the Listen button and audio playback functionality.
```
[natural_tts]
```
Find Target Text By Direction
```
[natural_tts target-tts-direction="below"]
```
What it means:

The target-tts-direction attribute tells the plugin where to look for the text to read aloud, relative to where you place the shortcode:

Below: The plugin will search for the nearest text element after (below) the shortcode’s position.

Supported direction: above, bottom, left, right
Find Target Text By HTML Selector

You can target specific HTML elements using tags, class selectors, ID selectors, and more.

Syntax:
```
[natural_tts target-tts-selector="HTML SELECTOR HERE"]
```
Examples:

Read the whole page.
```
[natural_tts target-tts-selector="body"]
```
Custom Audio URL

Use your own audio file.

(PRO VERSION ONLY)

Examples:
```
[natural_tts src="https://example.com/audio.mp3"]
```
Trigger play

Trigger / Control other shortcodes (other tts control button) to play, pause, etc..

(PRO VERSION ONLY)

Examples:
```
[natural_tts trigger-play="all"]
```
Custom Show Hide Button on TTS control

Sometimes we only want specific buttons to show

The “basic” stands for showing the play, pause, resume, and stop

Examples:
Show only play, pause, resume, stop
```
[natural_tts only-show="basic"]
```
Show only play, pause, resume, stop, and the setting button
```
[natural_tts only-show="basic,settings"]
```
Another value that you can also put in
```
[natural_tts only-show="basic,backward_sentence,forward_sentence,backward_paragraph,forward_paragraph,settings"]
```

External Services

When a user opens a post or article and starts playing the audio, the audio is generated/served from your server — we do not make any API calls to our servers to create the audio.

All your plugin configurations, TTS API secret keys, and audio files are stored in your own self-hosted WordPress. This makes it private and secure.

When you open the plugin settings page in WP Admin, it makes an API call to our server to check the plan you are currently using.

Our server is live at https://services.reinventwp.com, and it is used for:
