Speakable Schema is a schema.org property, used within an Article or NewsArticle type, that identifies which sections of a page are most suitable for text-to-speech playback by voice assistants and smart speakers. Publishers specify one or more CSS selectors or XPath expressions pointing to the relevant content regions, allowing Google Assistant and similar systems to read the most concise, informative portions aloud rather than the full page. Google launched Speakable as a limited beta in 2019, initially restricted to news publishers in English-language markets. As of 2024 the feature remains in a long-running beta with no general availability announcement, and eligibility requires adherence to Google’s News Content Policies. Speakable has no known effect on standard search rankings but may improve content reach through voice-based news briefings.
