We’ve enabled a new feature that basically reads our articles and makes it available for your listening pleasure.
If you notice, on each article, there’s a button that says “Listen Now.” Click on it to hear a Robot reading the posting. Sweet eh?
After each posting, it takes anywhere from 10-60 minutes for the service to convert it to a podcast.
Here’s a test:
RL is super cool! Moe is on Fire! Priscilla is wicked fast! Jeremy has big guns, Khoa is King! Joe is Your Daddy!
Oooh I can’t wait to hear how this posting will sound!
Enjoy!

I was wondering the whole day what was that… Cool feature!
Now when does the new logo get incorporated into the site?
Patience Grasshopper…
Cool feature. I was listening to a radio show where the guys were messing around with typing stuff in to listen to the robot voice say it back to them. They got very inventive and came up with some pretty interesting things for it to say. “Sofa king cool!”
Very cool! Can you tweak it so it’s a chick robot reading to us? That would be hot.
They should be able to… they did it on the radio show I was listening to anyway. (Unless it is a different program they are using)
I would totally prefer a woman’s voice…even a robot woman! I was remarking to RL and Moe how much the current voice creeps me out, and their suggestion was “don’t hit play”!
I should add that although the voice is creepy, it’s still a pretty kickass feature. Good work, gentlemen!
