Converting Blog Posts to Audio Files

Hey community,

A few weeks ago, we started experimenting with text-to-speech AI that converts blog posts to audio files. 
 
Today, I would like to share with you the first demo page with an audio player where you can listen to a blog post instead of reading it.

It's close.. But still robotic, and the voice is awful.

Would the paid version have more voice options, speed control, maybe read a little less robotic?

 

Thanks, we've been wanting this functionality for a while..

Yeah, that is true. I also was hesitant if people used it. 
Nevertheless, some folks think it is good enough for production. 
It evolves super fast. The last voice pack update was quite good. I predict the next one will be even closer to an actual human. 
About features request. Would you mind setting up a call and discussing it in more detail?

I went to your website and the voice on that demo sounds pretty good. I also like that you can easily update the colors of the player.

I installed on a blog and it has demo audio that says "It will be replaced with the blog post audio once editing is completed".  What editing is it referring to? I published the page and it didn't change. Is there a way to test the blog article audio?

 

Thanks

Hey @PSM,

 

I've checked your account. It seems that the Voice installation wasn't finished. 


Here is what needs to be done to activate integration fully:
1. Log in to Voice.
2. Navigate to https://voice.kohorta.co/onboarding 
3. Choose colors for your portal and activate the player for public display on your blog post pages. 

We can set up a call and do it together if you want. It is free. 
Here is my calendar where you can book some time with me

Our text-to-speech integration for a blog got the HubSpot marketplace listed. Give it a try! Here is the link - https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/marketing/cms/voice-223120

Thanks for the tag @TitiCuisset

 

I love the idea of being able to listen to an article, not just have to read it. A couple of thoughts: First, I almost missed it. The player is really subtle and kind of hidden under the post title.

 

As a listener, I'd like the option to listen faster. 1.25, 1.5 and 2x speed would be great. Also, the reading feels very robotic. I prefer a more natural reading.

 

But overall I think this is a great option to start testing for sure. Nice work @RomanGruit & team!
