Make yourself heard
Listen to this article The other day, I added a new feature to my blog. Don't know if you noticed. Keyvan noticed, and wrote a post about the feature.
The feature is a service from Talkr, that enables you to automatically get a mp3 file generated, where a synthetic voice reads the post. You'll also get a special RSS feed from them that be consumed as a Podcast feed (see the Talkr button further down on my sidebar).
Haven't decided yet if I like it or not. It's a bit fun though to hear your post being read. 
And the voice tells which blog it's posted to, and the date is was posted etc.
Is it useful, does it add value to a blog? I am not sure. Like Keyvan says in his post it has problems with special names and certain acronyms (which is understandable). Also I've noticed that "the voice" gets a bit confused when reading code, i.e. leaving out the dots.
What do you think? Would you be able to follow a blog by listening to a synthetic voice?
Have a nice weekend!
