Hi HN,
Like many of you, I found myself discovering dozens of great posts on HN and never actually finding the time read them. I used to save every cool link to Pocket, but… well… same story — I rarely found the time to read them.
So I thought it'd be great to listen to the top articles, the same way I listen to podcasts.
Initially, I tried out narrating articles with latest text-to-speech synthesis from Amazon and Google, but it was still pretty bad. Especially with long form content. So I thought I'll do this with real humans, real voice actors. So I made ReadByHumans. [1]
We are starting out by narrating top articles from HN and some longer cryptocurrency white-papers. Giving away 3 top articles from last week and we’ll be sending one more audio article weekly.
In future and at scale, we’d love to narrate any article or a document, on demand and with only a few hours turnaround time.
Would love your feedback!
What type of content would you like us to narrate?
Is it easy to access the podcast feed?
Thanks!
