Speakable Schema
A schema.org property that flags which parts of a page are best suited to be read aloud by voice assistants.
SpeakableSpecification is added inside an Article or WebPage schema block. It contains a list of CSS selectors (or XPath expressions) pointing to the sections of the page that a voice assistant should prefer when reading aloud.
Does Speakable affect AI search beyond voice?
Indirectly. Marking specific elements as speakable also signals to text-based AI engines that those passages are well-formed standalone answers — and they are the ones most likely to be quoted.
What selectors should you mark speakable?
The article H1, the snippet answer paragraph, and any H2 that frames a direct question. Cite Hustle defaults to ["h1", "h2", ".article-intro"].
