Hi JEVIRTHIKA,

A speakable markup is a form of structured data but here the highlight point is this structured data property is identifying the section within an article or web pages. This is not suitable for the entire pages, Only for the key points.  This new structured data markup will help you to get more traffic.

Hello Abirika,

Google assistance is choosing the speakable content based on the algorithm, If anyone asks the topic related queries like “Hey Google, What’s the latest news on US Country?” From here, Google Assistant will read out the news aloud together with the source of the selection where it’s available with a trending one. Please keep in mind there are options provided by them. The system will be connected to your smartphone or tablet where the links are sent.

Hi Thaiseer,

It is one of the important note that as of July of 2018, this speakable schema will only have an effect on news sites. Google already stated to clear that a website will have to be a part of the news publisher program to deliver the voice content using the speakable schema. Check it from here.

Hello Suraif ,

The “@type” should be in “SpeakableSpecification” and the next property is a “cssSelector” or “xpath”. it means the values that you set here to determine which text is selected to use by the Google Assistant that will help to readable the markup.

Here, the xpaths pull the title and meta description from earlier in the page.

If you have used this markup, you should do the same on your page if it is structured correctly, finally check this with Google’s structured data testing tool.

Sure Mathushan,

Speakable is a schema, The google assistant distributes the sections of content that would be suitable for when the user asks any queries (voice queries). They are using the TTS to read out the answers for the relevant queries. Here is the source to get to the TTS (Text to speech).
