Hello Hunters! 👋
BlogAudio first launched almost 1,5 years ago.
150+ signups, 100+ purchases on AppSumo and more than 3000 converted articles later we decided it's finally time to launch on ProductHunt 🚀
Why we created BlogAudio
We noticed the growing trend of audio consumption and understood that it may impact blogs and articles in general. There are many great bloggers out there and we understand that not everyone wants to become a podcaster or a vlogger to join this "listening trend". And to be honest, we wouldn't want that. Some people are great at talking to a microphone or a camera and others are great at writing articles. So we thought that the right solution is to provide the second group with a tool that can help them create audio content without changing the way they work.

Congrats! Text-to-speech tech is evolving immensely with deep learning etc. This could be great to turn articles in to podcasts. I also sometimes want somebody to read my twitter feed to me i.e. while driving. Good luck!
I love this. Everything around AI and audio these days looks super promising to me. Everyone still talking about "video" as the main media I believe is wildly underestimating the power of audio.
@tomjacquesson Thank you for feedback Thomas. I also believe that audio is more powerful than video just because you can easily consume it while doing something else.
This looks great! People are busy and always trying to find new ways to learn and consume content efficiently. Being able to play the audio when you're on the go or just doing something else but able to listen is essential. Great work @wojtek_krzcinski !
Great - this is exactly what I need. I've noticed recently that many sites (e.g. Bloomberg) are using similar features. Now I can use this functionality on my blog.
@mlu509 Thank you for your insight :) Exactly, this type of solution is already used across some of the most popular platforms. Hope you'll find the value in BlogAudio :)
Are there not many other players in this space? IT looks like BlogAudio is going after a specific audience and has some incredible features. Do the widgets out there that read articles on publication websites not compete or are not well-suited for blogs?
@wojtek_krzcinski I think it would be good to have more options that include a more "natural" voice, the one that is available is a bit robotic compared to other languages.
@leticia_fonseca We are planning to add new voices from Amazon because for now we're utilizing only Google's voices. If you're interested in purchasing one of our plans we can speed up the process. Let me know at hello@blogaudio.co
