ReadSpeaker PodCaster is an on-line service that converts RSS- and news feeds to mp3 files using high quality text-to-speech (TTS) technology.
To produce a professional podcast it generally requires access to a recording studio and technicians. Many organisations do not have the capacity or resources to make their information accessible in an audio format.
With ReadSpeaker Podcaster the process is automated and it means that it is not necessary to record news items and updates.
The first major blog to deploy ReadSpeaker in podcasting is Agoravox www.agoravox.com. It is also the first large-scale European initiatives for a totally free of charge "citizen journalism".
ReadSpeaker PodCaster opens up a huge potential for public and private organisation to reach new audiences and to become more socially inclusive.
News and information from a website can now be accessed from a web-enabled mobile phone with an mp3 player without even using a computer.
Building on the highly successful ReadSpeaker technology for speech-enabling websites, the ReadSpeaker PodCaster is easy to implement and uses a top quality voice. The technical development has already become internationally recognised and ReadSpeaker was recently selected a ‘Global Innovator’ by the Guidewire Group, the leading global technology research firm and producers of Innovate! Europe.
ReadSpeaker is Europe’s leading solution for speech-enabling web-content with a client list that includes the Parliaments in Sweden, the Netherlands, France and big corporations such as Vodafone, Siemens and Deutsche Bank.
In the UK our client list includes a number of local authorities, the DfES, BECTA, the Disability Rights Commission, Mencap, the Basic Skills Agency, and the major dyslexia organisations.
