As part of this partnership, WordPress.com bloggers can now import existing and new text-based content into Anchor. To make this process as easy as possible, Anchor and WordPress.com have included text-to-speech technology that lets creators automatically convert their content into draft podcast episodes. Of course, creators always have the option to record a reading of the content in their own voice, if they prefer.

‍

Some WordPress.com features we think you’ll find particularly useful include a custom domain (e.g., yourpodcastname.com), email marketing, easy podcast, video, and image embedding. You'll also get streamlined payment features so you can sell merchandise, charge for newsletter subscriptions, take donations, and more.
