Obviously that's the limitation of pure audio but I'm wondering if your process can simply tag or save an image that can then display like an audio book cover.
How is this different from Audm?
What about the intellectual property of those articles? How do you give credit to the author?
How are you going to handle articles that display images for infographics as necessary for comprehending the article? Obviously that's the limitation of pure audio but I'm wondering if your process can simply tag or save an image that can then display like an audio book cover.
Few things I would like to draw your attention to: 1. Firefox is reporting that certain parts of the page are not being served over HTTPS. 2. In the "My audio articles" section why do I need to enter the first paragraph of the article when I'm already submitting the link to the article? 3. The side menu doesn't close on the mobile site when I tap the drawer again. This was the only thing I found wrong about the UI. I…
With regards to 2 and 3, I think you might be using the writers' section of the site. That is where writers can add their own articles and use Listle to create an audio version.
Great! I often with I could listen to articles instead of reading them. What is your tech stack? First Bug report: 1: There is no scroll bar 2: The Hacker News link hangs at "Loading audio articles" forever: https://www.listle.io/app/publication/Hacker%20News 3: Search seems to search the source code of the article page. Searching for "PHP" brings up a bunch of articles that do not mention PHP at all.
Neat. I've two things to say, 1. How do you feel about AI catching up with reading? I use pocket's text to speech, or iOS's screen reader, which although robotic, seems to be improving rapidly? 2. Do you have any plans for web version ? I've this tendency to read and listen simultaneously. I think it forces me to really focus.
Thanks! 1. AI is definitely improving in this area. We watch this space closely, but based on user feedback so far, it seems that AI voices are perceived as very monotonous, and thus it is not enjoyable to listen to them for more than 10-15 min. 2. Listle is already available on the web at https://www.listle.io/ -- scroll down to "Sign in here" link. We also have a chrome extension which allows you to see if a partic…

Good point. We're working on a feature in our mobile player that allows users to see images in an article while the article is playing.
I think the next phase of your ux should be an actual carbon copy of the article that I can read inside the app with the audio playing features at the bottom in an overlay. One needs to go back and forth between a web browser and your app, and it takes longer to listen than it does to read, most people will want to save time and read when they are in a position to do so. (I'm sure this is already on your docket)
one feature you might consider that would help the transition between reading and listening is to have your vertical scroll bar coincide with your track time at the bottom, so as they scroll down the article their place in the audio track moves down as well. You could even have a text cursor that appears between the actual words on the screen so they can see where their place is.
I've constructed an elaborate diagram that illustrates this

Thanks for the interest. Right now, the AI request lets people listen to content from most links available online. Once we see there's demand for a particular article or domain, we create the human-read version of it too. In terms scalability, we've discovered there are a lot of people with really good voices who are interested in creating a portfolio of voice-over work. We made it very easy for them to generate and…
How (if at all) are the authors and publications involved in the process?
