Speak It To Me @speakittome@mastodon.cloud

We're planning our next #release. What features are important to you? We've heard from the vision-impaired community and are considering new features to give page readers easier cues to navigate our site. Don't forget our #mastodon integration works great if you #read the #web frequently. #texttospeech #text2speech

Do you #read the #web a lot? If so, why not give us a spin? We'll read it for you and stick it in a #podcast feed as well. Sign up for #free and help us improve our service. #texttospeech #voice https://speakitto.me

We've launched our new release today! Easier settings management and language detection in preparation for rolling out #japanese 🇯🇵 and #french 🇫🇷 support in the next few weeks for our #mastodon users. Long live the #fedeverse 🐘 🎺 #mastodev

We're considering the use of #amazon polly for our #texttospeech solution. The voices are amazing and this would allow us to support more languages? Would our users be willing to pay for this service with high quality voices? #valueforvalue 🤔 #advice #feedback #helpwanted #mastodev

We're highlighting #mastodon integration in our explanation pages for our upcoming release for this weekend! What do you think of our #icon? https://mastodon.cloud/media/m3IuuJY6zK60WgYLdFE

日本語を読める方へ、そろそろ、テキストと音声は日本語の読み方もサポートを考えている。皆さん、どう思いますか？この機能があれば、使えう？#マスト丼 #mastodev #日本語

We're improving #language detection and support for our current users for this weekend's #update. In considering a #valueforvalue model, we're considering showing a running total of the cost of each user's service (inclusive of development and maintenance costs) with an encouragement to donate. What do you all think? 🤔 #helpwanted #ideas #startups https://speakitto.me

Good morning Asia. Just a reminder that we are still looking for #beta testers and of course we are #free. Do you read the web a lot? If so, checkout https://speakitto.me - a web app to convert articles to text to speech. You can even listen via podcast RSS feed! Plus, we work with #mastodon and #twitter. Enjoy!

Ok, we're back up. We now have #mastodon integration up and running and have opened up an additional 50 slots for accounts while we scale our backend over the next few weeks. Please send us your #ideas if you'd like to see more. Send a DM to sign up or visit https://speakitto.me #mastodev

Heading down for a few minutes for some much needed #maintenance. Sit tight! #mastodev

So here's what we do: We allow users to submit articles (via bookmark, web, twitter, and soon mastodon) that they don't have time to read, we figure out the bits a human is interested in, run them through #texttospeech, and create a podcast for the user to subscribe to, a downloadable MP3, and a responsive web interface to listen through. What #valueforvalue model would work for you? Donation? Utilization based? Promos embedded in mp3s for contributors? #ideas

We're looking for some help to determine what type of value model will work for #mastodon with our service. We're interested in incorporating your opinions. If you've got any, join us in a discussion at #valueforvalue. h/t to @adam in particular for raising this in our consciousness again with the last few podcasts. 👍🏻

More #oauth goodness tonight. We are looking forward to releasing federated #mastodon #integration by the end of April. Soon you will be able to submit articles to #podcast format with both #birdsite and mastodon. We're giggling like little girls over here. 😁 https://mastodon.cloud/media/7yj1Jcjre4X0tXDM-ss

#mastodon social integration is coming soon! Here's a preview of our login screen.

We've been thinking a lot about the #noagenda "value for value" model and will be giving #free accounts to the first set mastodon users to help us build that model.

Follow us to learn more when ready. https://mastodon.cloud/media/6wIJUQ6mNIwuAdhHqxU #podcast #texttospeech

We have more followers on #mastodon than we do on #birdsite. That's why we love you guys and are pushing out a brief update for this weekend to prep for our mastodon integration release coming soon! Web #articles to #podcast conversion, its what we do! 🤗

Like to #read but don't have enough time? Listen to #podcasts? We think we can make you more productive and we're super psyched to be working on our #mastodon integration (and hopefully moving away from bird site) #Beta test opening up before the end of April! #texttospeech #webtospeech

Feels like #springcleaning. We're doing an application framework upgrade this weekend and it feels good to be on the latest version. Hopefully this means faster #texttospeech and #podcast generation for all of our users.
😊
