The WordPress plugin that reads Nepali news aloud
News Reader is our own WordPress plugin, built by AppHaru. It adds a "यो समाचार सुन्नुहोस्" audio player above every article, read aloud by our own Nepali voice engine. Our support team installs it on your site.

One WordPress plugin, everything your newsroom needs
We built the plugin and the voice engine ourselves, so there are no foreign APIs. Every article gets a clean audio player your readers can use on any device.
Own voice engine
Audio is made by our own Nepali voice engine. No Google, Amazon or OpenAI in the loop.
Your reader's voice
Get a custom voice trained from about 15 minutes of your own presenter's recordings.
MP3 on publish
The MP3 is created automatically in the background the moment an article is published.
Cached, zero load
Each MP3 is saved as a file. Page views never wait for audio to be generated.
Made for WordPress
A standard WordPress plugin that works with any theme and reads Unicode Nepali.
Shortcode
The player appears above articles automatically, or place it anywhere with [news_reader].
Per-post control
Hide the player on any single post, or regenerate audio after editing the text.
Room for more voices
Start with one voice and add more readers to the same player later.
Our own WordPress plugin, built and backed by a real team
News Reader is not a resold tool. AppHaru designed the plugin, trained the Nepali voice and runs the voice engine ourselves, here in Kathmandu.
