RIP Odiogo…it had to load in a sound file for every blog on the site when the blog loaded, really slowing it down. And it only read each post up to the “Read more” bit which is fairly useless. So, comedy novelty toy is no more. Long live reading for oneself.

Good idea re doing some videos though. Reckon we might put some up, maybe a “How to make a dozen red roses…Arena style!”.

That’s a fair point, but people who can’t read text will probably have their own screen readers.

My view on this is that it’s more of an accessibility thing. Some people find small text hard to read. They may find this useful. It’s also just a bit of fun. We’ll keep you posted on what happens.

False metric.

You might not get any listeners to the robocast as people don’t like the automated voice.

Still, it’s worth leaving it there and seeing what happens.

Adrian,

Many thanks for the comments. I agree with you, a proper Podcast would entice more listeners than a automated voice. But then, we would like to see if there are any subscribers to our Podcast to consider a proper Podcast.

I wouldn’t listen to a text to speech robot either.

I’d rather hear you guys do a proper podcast instead. Although I suppose if people are listening to the robot then its worth doing.
