I just tried it on <a href="https://www.gwern.net/Spaced-repetition" rel="nofollow">https://www.gwern.net/Spaced-repetition</a><p>* I love the voice quality. Sounds natural. What generates this?<p>* It seems to have started playing mid-way through my test article, from "When should one review?", so it missed 60% of the text, including the header of that section.
Yeah I used this a week ago and was surprised by how much I liked it. It was a very pleasant onboarding, and the one click chrome extension to send to podcast was pretty magical.<p>I'm not a frequent web article reader, so I'm not a perfect user, but I can see how this can fill in for those moments where I do come across a dense text and think "goddamn I don't want to sit here and read all this right in the middle of my workday".<p>Have you considered a youtube audio extraction extension? I personally prefer videos over articles when it comes to learning about things, and most of the time I'll tuck my phone in my pocket and just listen to the audio. Seems <i>kinda</i> similar.<p>Either way, good luck, I see something like this working. Passive audio is just more convenient than dedicated article/video consumption time.
It works very well, nice job! I like it.<p>One idea/question, is there a way to add to the feed via an external URL, rather then exclusively within the Chrome plugin?<p>I would use it even more if I wasn't constrained to chrome.<p>For example, adding this little snippet as a bookmark would for certain work from Firefox and iOS/Safari, and quite possibly others.<p>If I could get it molded to work with your service I'd be pretty stoked.<p><pre><code> javascript:void(location.href='https://audiblogs.com/add/?action=save&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href))</code></pre>
Looks nice but your website lacks any information about you and I have problem with trusting "faceless" websites. You should provide some info about who's behind this project. I understand that you might want protect your privacy but at the same time potential users deserve some background info.
This is perfect. I love that it fits seamless in my audio/podcast flow. I was listening to articles via Pocket before, but it's not as good as your product.<p>I suspect this will cost money sooner or later (text2speech and audio storage) - what are the plans here?
yyyep that's definitely something I'm gonna be using a lot of from now on. Searched for something like this a year or so back but didn't find anything that was good enough. Would really like a firefox version of the extension. Nice work OP
I've been using this almost every day for the last month. I try not to read any article the moment I see it now, and instead just send it to my podcast player.
