Schema

Speakable schema

Speakable schema is a Schema.org property that identifies specific sections of a page (via CSS selectors or XPath) as suitable for text-to-speech playback by voice assistants like Google Assistant and Alexa.

Speakable lives inside a WebPage or Article schema and points at element IDs like `#definition` or `#faq`. Voice assistants prefer pages where these blocks are 20–30 seconds when spoken aloud — roughly 60–80 words. Pages with Speakable markup are also weighted higher by AI engines as 'concise, citable' content.
