- ekulianova 5y agoGreat product!
- krzcinski 5y agoThank you :)
- 1cvmask 5y agoA good idea could perhaps be to add a way to hear it in action without signing up.
- krzcinski 5y agoThank you for thoughtful feedback! We were actually considering it so now I feel like you just confirmed the idea :)
- RileyJames 5y agoIn the example provided, are these not spelling errors? “Reach wider group of people who prefer listening over reading. Listening requirers^ less attention and can be done while performing other tasks like walking, driving, cooking, doing sports and more. Join a growing trend of podcasts^ and audiobook listeners and add high quality audio to your articles.” ^requires ^podcast
- krzcinski 5y agoYes, they are spelling errors. Thank you for looking closely at the website. We definitely need to check it for some errors like this.
- unicornporn 5y agoNext step: make it generate a podcast feed from the blog feed so it can be subscribed to like a podcast.
- krzcinski 5y agoVery interesting idea, I'll discuss it with my co-founder and we'll probably add it to the pipeline. Thank you!
- crackercrews 5y agoThe audio quality is impressive. How do you do it? I'd suggest removing "FREE for 14 days" from your post title. All Show HNs are supposed to be free for people to play around with. Saying "FREE" makes it look less credible.
- krzcinski 5y agoThank you for a kind suggestion as I'm fairly new to this community. I edited the title as recommended. As for your question. We utilize voice models made by cloud providers (Google, Amazon) and apply custom NLP, to achieve better speech fluency and to handle edge cases such as pauses in text, numbers etc.
- crackercrews 5y agoHow does your pricing compare to the cloud providers?
- krzcinski 5y agoWe and cloud providers charge different things as they charge for the number of processed minutes and we charge for articles. The thing is, with cloud providers you need to use API and we built the whole UI and automated the process so that it's just more user-friendly. But if you know how to convert articles just using cloud providers and not BlogAudio, then most likely you'll pay less.
- Gtex555 5y agoThis is awesome , wonder if I can integrate it into my website to give my readers the option to listen to all the articles.
- krzcinski 5y agoIm glad you like it! Yes, you can. Just create an account, convert your articles and embed our player into your website. We also integrate with WordPress and Ghost. If you have any specific questions, I'm happy to answer.
- mlu509 5y agoJust checked it out - awesome tool - decent voice quality. Is it difficult to integrate this with Wordpress?
- krzcinski 5y agoThank you, I'm glad you liked it! It's not difficult at all as we have our own plugin. After signing-up just go to Welcome -> connect your blogging platform -> WordPress. You will find a step-by-step guide on how to connect it. Converting audio is super-easy with this WordPress plugin.
- distartin 5y agoGreat idea, I think this have a big market especially seeing big news sites currently have an audio. Like the product & idea.
- krzcinski 5y agoThank you very much, I also believe there is a decent market for such solution.
