Text To Speech For Blogs

SEARCH BLOG: TECHNOLOGY

We're trying an experiment today.  I've been a fan of speech recognition before it became really practical with today's powerful processors.  But today's experiment is sort of the opposite.  Rather than recognizing speech and handling commands, I've added a feature that recognizes text and speaks it.

There is a little player at the top of the blog that allows you to hear the text for each post.  It is quite literal and reads everything... including the standard links on the bottom.  But it might be useful for those with problems reading the computer screen or who just want the material presented to them without completely focusing on it.

As with any player, you can use the double arrows to skip to the next segment or go back to a previous one.
