SANTA
MONICA, Calif., July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Everlit, an innovative pioneer in AI-driven
media, is proud to announce a partnership with Newspack, and
Automattic company, to bring cutting-edge AI audio technology to
their newsrooms around the world. This collaboration aims to
enhance the way news is produced and consumed, providing a
gorgeous, high-quality audio experience for audiences.
"We are absolutely thrilled to partner with
Newspack and Automattic to bring our AI audio technology to
newsrooms," said Evan McGee, CEO of
Everlit. "This collaboration emphasizes our core belief - that
thoughtful partnership with publishers and writers is the best path
to meaningful engagement."
The integration of Everlit's advanced AI audio capabilities with
Newspack's state-of-the-art publishing platform and Automattic's
expertise in digital media will empower its member news
organizations to quickly generate and distribute audio content.
This partnership marks a significant step forward for publishers:
by offering them powerful tools and editorial control of the voice,
style, and music, they can instantly create audio to meet the
rapidly growing demand for audio content.
Key Features of the Partnership:
- Automated Audio Generation: Everlit's AI technology works to
instantly convert written articles into human-grade audio all
without leaving a known workflow. This allows publishers a way to
repurpose their existing content and reach a fast-growing audience:
those who prefer listening rather than reading.
- Seamless Integration with Newspack: News organizations using
the Newspack platform will benefit from a streamlined workflow,
where audio content can be created and published with minimal
effort. This integration ensures that high-quality audio is always
available alongside traditional text-based news.
- Enhanced User Experience: By leveraging Automattic's expertise
in user experience and digital engagement, the partnership delivers
an audio news experience unlike any other. Core features like
cloned Author's Voices, multi-language/multi-dialect support,
background sounds and Emmy-award winning music help cater to all
audiences.
- Scalable Solutions for Publishers: The combined technologies
offer a scalable and no-code solution that can be adopted by
newsrooms of all sizes. Whether it's a small local paper or a large
international media organization, the partnership provides the
tools needed to produce consistent and engaging audio content.
- Opportunities for Monetization: The partnership also delivers
opportunities for sponsored players, programmatic and direct ad
opportunities for articles, and opportunities for audio discovery
and referral.
"We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Newspack and
Automattic to bring our AI audio technology to newsrooms," said
Evan McGee, CEO of Everlit. "This
collaboration emphasizes our core belief - that thoughtful
partnership with publishers and writers is the best path to
meaningful audience engagement."
"We wanted to partner with a company that would allow our
publishers to take advantage of audio in a meaningful way," recalls
Newspack Head of Product, Katie
Rethman. As the publishing industry shifts toward more
audio-centric content consumption, we want to provide our
publishers the tools they need to meet audience expectations.
