WordPress product
Text-to-speech plugin
Conceived and shipped outside work hours: React admin section, WordPress background jobs, Lambda serverless backend, and OpenAI TTS. Now running on 6 sites, including the agency’s own, with hundreds of posts converted to audio.
Brief
Context
A text-to-speech plugin conceived and built entirely on my own initiative outside work hours, then adopted on client sites and internally.
Build
What I built
A React-based admin interface with a complex bulk-conversion form for turning posts and pages into audio.
A WordPress background job queue for bulk processing without overloading the server.
An auto-convert-on-publish option per post type, hooked into the publish action.
A Lambda backend calling OpenAI TTS endpoints.
