FAQs

How long does the set-up take from start to finish?

1-3 days! Depending on how much customization you’d like to add to your narration settings.

Will I need to add new steps to my workflow every time I publish a new story?

No! The tool is designed so that you set up the process once and then all narration creation + distribution is automated. We use your RSS feed to narrate your newest stories and a dynamic iframe to auto-embed the stories into your website. If you’d prefer to narrate and/or embed each story manually, that’s also possible!

Can I monetize my narrations?

Yes, you can set up a Google Ad Manager account and send us your VAST URL. We’ll embed the ads into your narrations. You can also monetize your narrations on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Do you offer academic/non-profit pricing?

Yes, please contact tina.haertel@ad-auris.com for special pricing requests.

Is there a contract?

No, we are a monthly subscription service with no contractual obligation.

Does the narration slow down my site speed?

No, we work hard to make sure that everything down to the design of our widget is optimized for speed. Because your narrations are pre-generated rather than “live read” each time the player is triggered, the tool is much more light weight.

Do you collect data?

If you embed the iframe into your site, we collect data only on the interactions within the audio player. All the collected data is made available to you on the Ad Auris dashboard where you can track information like number of listens, how long people listen, and total minutes of engagement.

Where should I place the audio player?

We recommend at the top of the article below the title and title image.
