## Get started with BeyondWords

To create an account, [get in touch](https://beyondwords.io/book-a-demo/?utm_source=ghost&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=&utm_content=plugin) with the BeyondWords team.

We’ll walk you through the platform and get you set up so you can start creating audio and video from your Ghost posts.

## Create a custom integration in Ghost

In your Ghost Admin, go to **Settings → Integrations** and click **Add custom integration**. Name it **BeyondWords** and click **Add**.

Keep the page open so you can copy the **Admin API Key** and **API URL**—you’ll need these in the next step.

## Connect Ghost to BeyondWords

In your BeyondWords dashboard, create a new project or select an existing one, then go to **Settings → Integrations → Ghost**.

Paste the **API URL** and **Admin API Key** from Ghost into the corresponding fields.

Next, use the dropdown to select whether you would like the **Audio article, Audio summary, Video article, or Video** summary embed code.

Copy the embed code and click **Save** changes.

## Embed the audio player

In your Ghost Admin, go to **Settings → Advanced → Code injection** and click **Open**.

Go to the **Site footer** section, paste the embed code from BeyondWords into the bottom of the code editor, and click **Save**. This will embed the player at the start of each post, not in the footer.

### Custom player position

If you would like to embed the player elsewhere, use the `target` property with a CSS selector. This will vary depending on your Ghost theme—common values include: `.post-full-content`, `article`, `article header`, and `.content`.

## Start creating audio and video

When you publish a post in Ghost, BeyondWords will automatically generate audio or video and embed the player into your post. This should just take a few minutes.

You can customize the player, enable third-party distribution, set up monetization, and more through your BeyondWords dashboard.

### Skipping audio for specific posts

If you don’t want BeyondWords to generate audio for a particular post, add the tag #beyondwords-skip in the post settings panel. BeyondWords will not generate audio for that post and no player will be embedded.

If you add this tag to a post that already has audio, any future edits won’t regenerate the audio. The existing audio and player will stay embedded.
