The audio quality is impressive. How do you do it?

I'd suggest removing "FREE for 14 days" from your post title. All Show HNs are supposed to be free for people to play around with. Saying "FREE" makes it look less credible.

Thank you for a kind suggestion as I'm fairly new to this community. I edited the title as recommended.

As for your question. We utilize voice models made by cloud providers (Google, Amazon) and apply custom NLP, to achieve better speech fluency and to handle edge cases such as pauses in text, numbers etc.

How does your pricing compare to the cloud providers?

A good idea could perhaps be to add a way to hear it in action without signing up.

Thank you for thoughtful feedback! We were actually considering it so now I feel like you just confirmed the idea :)

This is awesome , wonder if I can integrate it into my website to give my readers the option to listen to all the articles.

krzcinski9• 5 years ago

Im glad you like it! Yes, you can. Just create an account, convert your articles and embed our player into your website. We also integrate with WordPress and Ghost.

If you have any specific questions, I'm happy to answer.

Just checked it out - awesome tool - decent voice quality. Is it difficult to integrate this with Wordpress?

krzcinski9• 5 years ago

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

It's not difficult at all as we have our own plugin. After signing-up just go to Welcome -> connect your blogging platform -> WordPress. You will find a step-by-step guide on how to connect it.

Converting audio is super-easy with this WordPress plugin.

In the example provided, are these not spelling errors?

“Reach wider group of people who prefer listening over reading. Listening requirers^ less attention and can be done while performing other tasks like walking, driving, cooking, doing sports and more. Join a growing trend of podcasts^ and audiobook listeners and add high quality audio to your articles.”

Yes, they are spelling errors. Thank you for looking closely at the website. We definitely need to check it for some errors like this.

Great idea, I think this have a big market especially seeing big news sites currently have an audio. Like the product & idea.

krzcinski9• 5 years ago

Thank you very much, I also believe there is a decent market for such solution.

Next step: make it generate a podcast feed from the blog feed so it can be subscribed to like a podcast.

krzcinski9• 5 years ago

Very interesting idea, I'll discuss it with my co-founder and we'll probably add it to the pipeline. Thank you!
