Visitors can hear a short spoken message when they hover over an advertisement or website element—before they decide whether to click. On supported devices, HoverEcho can respond to desktop hover, mobile touch-and-hold, and keyboard focus. #### What Can HoverEcho Make Speak? * Digital advertisements * Buttons and calls to action * Menus and navigation choices * Product and featured-content cards * Forms and input fields * Pricing options * Other selected website elements #### How It Works 1. Install and activate HoverEcho Ads. 2. Connect the plugin to your HoverEcho account. 3. Create or select a campaign. 4. Add a written message for text-to-speech, or upload recorded audio. 5. Select where the experience should appear. 6. Publish it to your WordPress website. No copying and pasting embed code is required. #### Why Use HoverEcho? * Let visitors hear an explanation before clicking. * Add audio to advertisements without changing the original creative. * Explain buttons, menus, products, prices, and forms at the point of decision. * Use text-to-speech or your own recorded audio. * Manage campaigns from one HoverEcho account. * Create a more understandable and engaging website experience. #### HoverEcho Account and Subscription This plugin connects your WordPress website to the HoverEcho hosted service. A HoverEcho account is required. New customers receive a 30-day free trial. Unless cancelled, the selected paid subscription begins automatically on day 31. Customers may cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged. * Create a HoverEcho account: https://hoverecho.com/signup * Pricing: https://hoverecho.com/pricing * Terms of Service: https://hoverecho.com/terms * Privacy Policy: https://hoverecho.com/privacy The WordPress plugin is the installation and connection component for the HoverEcho service. HoverEcho is not a free product. #### Free Setup Support We will help new customers connect their websites and publish their first HoverEcho experience during the 30-day trial. * Email: Support@HoverEcho.com * Plugin and setup help: https://hoverecho.com/wordpress-plugin ### Configuration * HoverEcho Dashboard: connect, disconnect, campaigns, create campaign, site placement * HoverEcho Settings: explanation of the HoverEcho connection (no custom host settings) Disconnect removes the stored token and connected-account fields from this WordPress site. Deleting the plugin (uninstall) removes: * hoverecho_settings * hoverecho_auth * hoverecho_placements * hoverecho_campaign_cache ### Privacy This plugin stores data in WordPress only after an administrator connects a HoverEcho account. Stored in WordPress (`hoverecho_auth`): * Encrypted HoverEcho API token * HoverEcho user id * Email * First name (if provided by the login response) * Last name (if provided) * Subscription plan name (if provided) * Connected-at timestamp Also stored: * hoverecho_settings (plugin settings) * hoverecho_placements (which campaign is shown and where) * hoverecho_campaign_cache (transient campaign list for the block/widget, 5 minutes) What is sent to HoverEcho on Connect: * Email * Password * rememberMe (boolean) What may be sent later from wp-admin (while connected), depending on the action: * Campaign fields such as name, dates, text message, language, voice, translation flags, receiving site URL (defaults to this WordPress site’s home URL), and related create/update fields * Requests to list campaigns, templates, TTS voices, and translation languages What may be sent from the public site after a campaign is placed: * A request for public campaign data (campaign ID) * Optional tracking POSTs that include the current page URL (`websiteUrl`) for hover/click-style events implemented by the widget The plugin registers WordPress privacy policy helper text, a personal data exporter, and a personal data eraser for the connected HoverEcho email. Disconnect or uninstall deletes the local token and connected-account option. That does not automatically delete the HoverEcho account on hoverecho.com. HoverEcho service Privacy Policy: https://hoverecho.com/privacy HoverEcho service Terms of Service: https://hoverecho.com/terms ### External Services This plugin communicates with the HoverEcho service operated at https://hoverecho. com Base API: https://hoverecho.com/api HTTP from WordPress uses the WordPress HTTP API (wp_remote_request). #### 1. Administrator Connect (required for Dashboard features) POST https://hoverecho.com/api/auth/login JSON body sent: * email * password * rememberMe Response used by the plugin: token and user object. The token is encrypted and stored in WordPress. The password is not stored. #### 2. Administrator Dashboard (only while connected) Authenticated with header: Authorization: Bearer {token} * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/auth/profile * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/{id} * POST https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/create-enhanced * PUT https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/{id} * DELETE https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/{id} * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/templates * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/tts/voices * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/translate/languages #### 3. Public pages (only if a campaign is rendered) Script loaded: https://hoverecho.com/embed/hoverecho-widget.js The widget then calls: * GET https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/public/{campaignId} * POST https://hoverecho.com/api/campaigns/{campaignId}/track-{eventType} JSON body: { “websiteUrl”: “” } #### Service links * Service: https://hoverecho.com * Privacy Policy: https://hoverecho.com/privacy * Terms of Service: https://hoverecho.com/terms * Sign up: https://hoverecho.com/signup * Sign in: https://hoverecho.com/signin * Plugin page: https://hoverecho.com/wordpress-plugin * Pricing page (HoverEcho website, not this plugin): https://hoverecho.com/pricing * Support email: Support@HoverEcho.com ## Screenshots [⌊HoverEcho Dashboard — Connect Account (wp-admin login to HoverEcho)⌉⌊HoverEcho Dashboard — Connect Account (wp-admin login to HoverEcho)⌉[ HoverEcho Dashboard — Connect Account (wp-admin login to HoverEcho) [⌊Campaign list after connecting, with Add to site⌉⌊Campaign list after connecting, with Add to site⌉[ Campaign list after connecting, with Add to site [⌊Create campaign form in wp-admin⌉⌊Create campaign form in wp-admin⌉[ Create campaign form in wp-admin [⌊Site placement settings (pages and position)⌉⌊Site placement settings (pages and position)⌉[ Site placement settings (pages and position) [⌊Gutenberg “HoverEcho Ad” block in the editor⌉⌊Gutenberg “HoverEcho Ad” block in the editor⌉[ Gutenberg “HoverEcho Ad” block in the editor [⌊Public page with a placed HoverEcho campaign / widget⌉⌊Public page with a placed HoverEcho campaign / widget⌉[ Public page with a placed HoverEcho campaign / widget ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * HoverEcho Ad ## Installation 1. Upload the `hoverecho` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` (or install the ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin). 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu. 3. In wp-admin, go to HoverEcho Dashboard. 4. Click Connect Account and sign in with a HoverEcho email and password. Connecting sends that email and password to https://hoverecho.com/api/auth/login. See External Services. 5. After connecting, select or create a campaign and click Add to site, or insert the shortcode, block, or widget. No API URL field is required. The plugin is hardcoded to: * https://hoverecho.com * https://hoverecho.com/api ## FAQ ### Do I need a HoverEcho account? Yes. Create one at https://hoverecho.com/signup or connect an existing account from HoverEcho Dashboard. ### Do you offer setup help for new customers? Yes. Free Setup Support is included during the 30-day trial. Email Support@HoverEcho. com or visit https://hoverecho.com/wordpress-plugin. ### Do I still paste embed code? No. Current versions place campaigns by campaign ID. ### Is my HoverEcho password stored in WordPress? No. After a successful login, WordPress stores an encrypted API token (the token returned by HoverEcho login) plus a small user summary (id, email, first name, last name, subscription plan). The password is sent only to https://hoverecho.com/api/ auth/login at connect time and is not saved in WordPress options. ### How is the token stored? The token is encrypted with AES-256-CBC using a key derived from WordPress AUTH_KEY( or wp_salt(‘auth’) if AUTH_KEY is the default placeholder). It is saved in the ` hoverecho_auth` option. Admin screens talk to this site’s WordPress REST API (`hoverecho/ v1`). Those routes require the `manage_options` capability and the WordPress REST nonce. WordPress then calls HoverEcho with the decrypted token as a Bearer token. The admin JavaScript does not receive the HoverEcho JWT. ### When does the plugin contact hoverecho.com? Activating the plugin does not send data to HoverEcho. HoverEcho is contacted when: * An administrator clicks Connect (login) * An administrator uses Dashboard features that load or change campaigns (list, create, delete, templates, voices, languages) * A campaign is output on a public page (widget script + public campaign request + optional event tracking) ### Who can use the Dashboard? WordPress users with the `manage_options` capability (typically administrators). ### What shortcode is supported? [hoverecho campaign_id=”123″] Optional attributes: align (left, center, right), width, height. ### How do I get support?
