Ghost Voice Reader: A Free Listen Button for Ghost Posts

I made Ghost Voice Reader, a free and open-source script that lets readers listen to Ghost posts.

The script adds a floating Listen button to the lower-left corner of each post. Readers can play, pause, and resume the post. The script uses the browser’s built-in voice, so you do not need an account, an API key, or an external speech service.

Add it to Ghost

1. Open Ghost Admin → Settings → Advanced → Code Injection.

2. Paste this code into Site Footer:

   <script
     src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/aspirethemes/ghost-voice-reader@v1.0.0/dist/ghost-voice-reader.min.js"
     defer
   ></script>
   

3. Select Save.
4. Open a post.
5. Confirm that the floating Listen button appears in the lower-left corner.

The reader finds common Ghost post layouts automatically and stays separate from your theme styles.
