What is SpeakableSpecification Schema?

SpeakableSpecification is a Schema.org property that identifies sections of a web page best suited for audio playback and text-to-speech extraction. While originally designed for Google Assistant, it is now widely utilized by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) parsers as an explicit signal of passage relevance.

Implementing Speakable Schema for AI SEO

To implement SpeakableSpecification, assign unique HTML `id` attributes to your answer-first paragraphs and reference those CSS selectors inside your Article JSON-LD markup:

"speakable": {
  "@type": "SpeakableSpecification",
  "cssSelector": [
    "#answer",
    "#what-is-ai-seo-definition",
    "#how-it-works"
  ]
}
