Technical Post - New Filing System at iSpeech - MD5

We have a new filing system at iSpeech to ensure that no two documents will ever collide. In case you have heard someone else's audio, it has been fixed!

The problem: computers cannot be truly random, even when generating a 32 bit sequence.

The solution: Files are named according to their message digest checksum, a hash of the actual file contents- aka MD5.

Note: any file that was previously converted will continue to work as normal. This fix only applies to new text to speech conversions.
