Just giving it a shot, but I'm stuck on 'initializing'. Android 6 (marshmallow) using chrome.
I am curious about your 'making radio relevant again'. Is the target market radio listeners?
I'm thinking a more 'forward looking' appeal may be around podcasts. But without being able to use the app, I can't really judge. Just my 2c, I think radio has already been dead for a long-time, how many people born after 2000 have ever owned or been active radio listeners?
- pedalpete 10y agoOk, I got it to play, I had to hit the 'skip' button, so it looks like you may have a bug. It sat at initializing for a few minutes doing nothing. Now that I've heard it - I listened for about 10 seconds - I think this is not usable. I wouldn't want to listen to the automated voice for any more than I did, and it seems it was just giving me headlines. I wouldn't want it to read me an article in that voice.
- radiosumo 10y agoThanks for the feedback! That's what we're trying to test out - whether the TTS is something you'd trade in exchange for having real-time news read back to you while you drive to/from work.
- radiosumo 10y agoYes, radio listeners. But for now more focusing on the tech-inclined crowds. You'd be surprised about that last question though -- a 2015 survey indicated a lot of people switch between radio, streaming music and podcasts while they drive to work.
