iSpeech is "very impressive" according to Speech Technology Magazine


On November 11th

Speech Technology Magazine's blog introduced iSpeech
to the speech technology community. Adam B. had this to say:

"iSpeech is a web-based solution that allows users to convert websites and blogs into audio. iSpeech has been in development for more than eighteen months and does not require users to download or install anything. They simply cut and paste what they want to convert into the box provided on the site, or upload the files in question. After that, it’s easy to share the files in pretty much any format or forum.

I decided to test it out with the following quote from Speech Tech Blog favorite Emma Goldman:
“No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.”

The results–which can be heard here–are very impressive.
So impressive, that we may start using iSpeech for the Speech Tech Blog. We will keep you posted."

I wanted to take a second and thank Adam for his kind words. iSpeech is still in beta, and I am confident that if you like iSpeech beta, you will love what's to come! To Adam and all of our friends at Speech Technology Magazine, thank you!

VERY COOL, reminds me a bit of the Sat Nav!!! and pdf reader I tried once.
This has to take off before too long.
KEEP UP the project and best success to you!
