Comment Tools with Voice message, Auto Moderation, Spam Protection, Attachment 5.6.1

Comment Tools Pro (by QuantumCloud) is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to transform the standard, often neglected comment section into a high-engagement community hub. It is unique for bundling modern "social" features like voice messaging with enterprise-grade moderation and marketing tools.

## Key Features

Voice Message Recording: Allows users to record and attach audio clips directly within the comment field. This is a game-changer for accessibility and "humanizing" the discussion.

Auto Moderation (Sentiment Analysis): Uses AI to detect the "emotion" of a comment. It can automatically flag or delete comments that exceed a specific "negativity" or profanity threshold.

Anti-Spam Shield: Combines traditional keyword blacklisting with advanced bot-detection techniques (like stylesheet/cookie verification) that do not require intrusive CAPTCHAs.

File Attachments: Enables users to upload images, PDFs, videos, or documents. Admins can restrict file types and maximum sizes to maintain server performance.

Mailing List Opt-in: Includes a checkbox to subscribe commenters to your newsletter. It integrates natively with Mailchimp or via Zapier for other CRM platforms.

### Advanced Capabilities

AI Auto-Reply: Can be configured to automatically respond to approved comments using the OpenAI (ChatGPT) API, ensuring your community always feels "heard" even when you are offline.

Front-End Moderation: Admins can delete or mark comments as spam directly from the blog post page without entering the WordPress dashboard.

Comment Redirection: Redirect first-time commenters to a specific "Thank You" or "Special Offer" page to increase conversion rates.

Sentiment Emojis: Displays a small emoji next to comments indicating if the feedback is positive, neutral, or negative.

### Technical Requirements

WordPress Version: Optimized for 5.0 and higher (Compatible with 2026 standards).

Addons: Works as a standalone plugin but pairs exceptionally well with WooCommerce (allowing voice reviews for products).

Integration: Supports Zapier, Mailchimp, and OpenAI (for AI replies).
