SpeechKit

SpeechKit, the audio platform that now runs as BeyondWords, was built specifically for publishers who want to convert their written output into a listening experience. Instead of treating audio as an afterthought, it makes every article audio-ready: the system generates narration automatically, gives editors fine-grained control over pronunciation, and keeps regeneration costs predictable when articles are updated.

The product pairs AI voice generation with the publishing layer. You get voice cloning options — instant, professional, or library voices — plus a brand-matched article player that drops into your site with a few lines of code and is designed to meet WCAG 2 accessibility standards. Because it integrates with a large ecosystem of CMS platforms, it can slot into the workflows editorial teams already use.

Beyond generation, SpeechKit covers the business side of audio. Analytics show listen rates, time spent and completion rates so teams can see what resonates, while monetization features connect to programmatic audio and video ad servers or let you run your own campaigns. The company behind it, LSTN LTD, is based in London and positions the platform as a no-hype, publisher-first audio tool.
