Show HN: Top HN articles in human-read podcast format Hi HN, Like many of you, I found myself discovering dozens of great posts on HN and never actually finding the time read them. I used to save every cool link to Pocket, but… well… same story — I rarely found the time to read them. So I thought it'd be great to listen to the top articles, the same way I listen to podcasts. Initially, I tried out narrating articles with latest text-to-speech synthesis from Amazon and Google, but it was still pretty bad. Especially with long form content. So I thought I'll do this with real humans, real voice actors. So I made ReadByHumans. [1] We are starting out by narrating top articles from HN and some longer cryptocurrency white-papers. Giving away 3 top articles from last week and we’ll be sending one more audio article weekly. In future and at scale, we’d love to narrate any article or a document, on demand and with only a few hours turnaround time. Would love your feedback! What type of content would you like us to narrate? Is it easy to access the podcast feed? Thanks! [1] http://ift.tt/2sknfuE June 13, 2017 at 04:37PM
