Odiogo

I just discovered a great tool called Odiogo. It converts your blog posts into pod casts with an auditory reader. The great thing about it is the speech software is very clear, making it an excellent tool for people with Vision Impairments. I'm trying it out now on my blog and I hope VI readers will find it useful. I haven't tried it out through ITunes yet, mainly because I'm not sure people will want to listen to an electronic voice reading my posts. Instead I'd like to record my posts myself and upload them via ITunes, but that will have to wait until I have more time. Which will be...?

It's so weird to hear a man's voice reading your posts! Do you have any choice in that matter?

That (and the imperfect intonation) aside, this is a great service that expands your readership/listenership base. What a wonderful tool for bloggers to offer for vision impaired people.
