Speakable Schema

Quick definition

Schema.org markup indicating which parts of a page are best suited for voice assistants to read aloud.

What it actually means

Speakable schema (SpeakableSpecification) lets you flag specific CSS selectors or XPath expressions as voice-friendly. Google Assistant, Siri Shortcuts, and emerging AI voice agents (Claude voice, ChatGPT advanced voice) read these sections preferentially when generating audio answers. Best practice: tag your lead paragraph and any Quick Answer block as speakable. Combined with FAQPage schema, this makes your content the preferred source for voice-generated answers.
