Ask HN: What articles from HN would you like to have read to you by humans?
A few friends and I are building these apps and we want to narrate the most popular links from HN. Any requests are welcomed.

- erikig 7y agoI'd really love to listen to The New Yorker and The Atlantic long read articles, even the ones I've enjoyed before for their beauty or insightfulness. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/10/15/the-semplica-girl-diaries https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/10/15/the-semplica-g...
- erikig 7y agoOut of curiousity, how conversational does the content sound? Is it better that the quality from HTML5 text to speech or Amazon Polly?
- cristinabunea 7y agoAll of the articles that we have on the platform are human-read. There is, however, the request functionality where you copy / paste the link to an article and it gives you an AI narration (using Polly).
- erikig 7y agoI just installed the app and I'm a fan. I have some suggestions: - Please add a "Skip Back" of 10 or 15 sec. I often zone out and miss a few sentences and the playback/progress bar isn't quite accurate in skipping back. - Please integrate the audio controls into the iOS media controls - (Maybe) allow previewing some audio before requesting account creation. I almost abandoned the install at that spot. Cheers on launching an awesome set of apps!
