This is WordPress plugin that creates new post type of briefing that lets you create Alexa Flash Briefing compatible posts just like you would anything else in WordPress.
It uses these posts to create feed for Alexa skills through API..
If you have ANY links URLs in the post content, the plugin takes the FIRST link and uses it as the audio stream.
If there's no link in the post content, it will assume you want text to speech ...
It's safest to just put HTTPS url to your audio file, but you may add other in the post if you are also sending people to your site to listen.
WordPress will oembed MP3 file you post, so users will be able to listen on the web..
You MUST use domain and secure links to your audio files ..
Your briefing content shouldn't contain any HTML tags if you want to use TTS ..
You can use the excerpt and featured image options if you will be sharing your briefing on media without interfering with Alexa functionality.. ..
