Text to Speech News: Turn Articles into an Audio Bulletin

Fynqcast editorial teamPublished on November 11, 2026Updated on November 13, 20264 min read

Turning your published articles into a text to speech news bulletin takes three things: pick a few stories, rewrite them for the ear and read them with the same voice at the same time every day. Below you will find a running order you can repeat, the rules for writing news people can follow by listening, and a complete example for local newsrooms, press offices, associations and internal communications teams.

Why turn articles into an audio bulletin?

Plenty of readers will not open five articles, but they will listen to two minutes of news while driving, cooking or walking. An audio bulletin does not replace the articles. It sums them up and sends anyone who wants the detail back to the full text.

How do you write news for the ear?

An article written for the screen is tiring when read aloud. Before it goes to a voice, each story needs a rewrite:

One story, one idea. Who, what, where, when. Everything else stays in the article.
Short sentences, subject first, no long asides.
Rounded numbers, written the way they are said: "about three hundred people", not "297 ppl".
Date and place said clearly, because the listener cannot see the masthead or the publication date.
The same opening and closing every time. They are the bulletin's signature and help listeners find their way.

Three to five stories fit comfortably into two or three minutes.

Example: running order and script for a local bulletin

The paper and the stories are invented. Fixed running order: opening, headlines, three stories, sign-off.

OPENING: Good morning, it's Tuesday the eighteenth of November. This is the Valbrook Gazette news. HEADLINES: Works on the old bridge, new library hours and Sunday's autumn fair. STORY 1: From next Monday the old bridge will be closed to cars for three weeks while the council strengthens its piers. People on foot and on bikes can still cross on a protected lane. STORY 2: The town library is changing its hours. From December it will also open on Thursday evenings, until ten, for people who study or work during the day. STORY 3: On Sunday the autumn fair returns to Market Square, with around forty stalls from local producers. It opens at nine. CLOSING: You'll find every story in full on our website. That's all from the Valbrook Gazette. Have a good day.

About 125 words: just under a minute of listening.

How to do it with Fynqcast

In Fynqcast, news bulletins are made with FYNQ Studio, in the Studio tab of your dashboard.

Choose the "News & Briefing" category and a level. The Advanced level lets you set a fixed opening and closing, read word for word, plus the order of the stories, the register and the level of detail.
Choose how to start. With "Create with AI" you paste the facts from your articles into the field for your own information, and the script is written from those facts, then you check it. If you already have a script, choose "Your text": paste it or load it from a PDF, DOCX or TXT file and it is read exactly as written.
Set the language, the maximum length and the voices. You can choose one or two voices and give the voice an emotion.
Review and approve the script. If the script was made with AI and one story sounds wrong, you can rewrite just that part and say how it should change. Nothing is generated until you approve.
Generate and download the MP3 file and the SRT subtitles, then publish them yourself: on your site, in your newsletter or in your own feed.

Need the bulletin in another language? In "Your text", tick "Translate before reading" and it is translated into one of the eight available languages, with a mandatory glossary and a list of proper names to keep unchanged.

On the FYNQ Studio and Publisher plans you can also read the bulletin in your own cloned voice. Creating one requires identity verification and consent, and it is open only to adults with an identity document issued by an EU Member State. A cloned voice speaks only in the languages it is authorized for, and every audio that uses it opens with the spoken notice "Voice cloned with AI."

What should you check before publishing?

The facts. Even when the script comes from your information, check names, dates and numbers.
Transparency. Say that the voices are AI-generated.

The plans that include FYNQ Studio are listed on the pricing page.
