Have a Reading Backlog? Let AI Read to You

The transition through your lag in reading can be a syzphous task. Can new new tools for generating the voice and narratives AI help you catch up? Answer likeField

Read while you run, train or clean

My goal in this small project was to be able to go through my lag in the field of technical articles. These are all articles on the Internet, blog messages and food announcements that I need to read for my work. However, to find time to sit down and read them, it turned out to be impossible, and the lag is growing.

The direction of my phone read the articles while I run (or clean the house), it seemed the best solution: training and work at the same time? How effective!

Find something (free) to read you, surprisingly difficult

My first attempt was not so good, I wanted to try to use freely accessible tools, already on my devices, but IOS and Android web browsers do not have excellent built-in opportunities for reading a screen for web pages, and when they work, they are silent, they are silent, When the screen is disconnected.

I also tried to create my own small solution, which read the pages and retained them as MP3 for subsequent listening, but it was awkward, and I refused it as soon as I found that someone had already done this (and better).

Speech and matter can do this at a price

Speeringife and Matter both provide applications for iOS and Android, which can take a web page, generate a narrative for it using AI, and then read it out loud, all with the screen and control elements shown on the telephone lock screen (or in my case , in my smart watches) for quick access. Ideal!

Both of these applications do wonderful work, and the voices generated by AI are actually pretty good, well proceed and allow you to listen to and understand the article effectively. Speeringife also makes several cool things, such as the text of the text in the headings of the article and the lower cubs. There is only one drawback: both of these applications require subscription. This means payment of many additional functions that I really did not want or did not need: I just had to read them.

Speeringife allows you to continue to use it after the end of the test period, but you are limited by the fact that they can withstand voices for the reader with natural ones, and not their descendants working on natural sound.

If you can endure robotic voices, you are lucky

So, if you have a reading to catch up and do not mind paying a little for the natural sound of a voice narrative, speech and matter deserve a look (both have free trials). If the story of the generated computer does not melt your ears, the free offer of Speeringify is probably good enough for you.
