Bedtime StoryBot 9000. I like it. Seriously, having a robot read me back my writing is one of THE most important writing tools I have, and having it read me articles while I work, makes the world my podcast. @larynx_app @_jacksmith @heavyinfo
Greetings Hunters & thanks Jack !
I am Abishek, CEO - Timebender Technologies a startup based in Coimbatore, India - makers behind larynxBot & other cool stuffs !
"Time is an illusion"
said Albert Einstein, having proven that Time is not a constant through his theory of relativity. Perhaps even Einstein would agree that, Time is the biggest wealth & we humans have been trying to master techniques to save Time in every activity we perform.
We at Timebender, are in constant exploration to create utilities which helps you get most of your Time.
In the current state of Internet, information is thrown at you in the rate at which you have no means to segregate between what's needed and what's not. Much of your valuable time is spent on reading content over Internet which holds no value for you. What if, some one could give you a quick preview of the content from the link which you are about to click and let you decide whether you would like to proceed further. This becomes especially useful in the case of News articles & there is no limit to the number of online articles you face each day due to the advent of social networks taking the avatar of News aggregators.
Introducing larynxBot , a platform agnostic bot which gives you voice summary for the online content on demand.

Multi lingual & emoji-lingual,
What's the use of a NLP bot if it isn't multi-lingual, hence our @larynxBot can speak about 30 languages ! This means you can send her online content of your language and you'll receive back the voice summary. Since the bot is multi-lingual it's best if we keep the basic conversation with her users language agnostic , hence she uses emoji's to communicate with you - users.

Of-course, one last thing to mention - Like all good things in life; larynxBot is FREE !
@vladzima Hi there, thanks for checking out larynxBot. As @larynxBot is a NLP bot we had to support different languages for the content which we voice summarise, we are supporting about 30 languages for that. But if we had to support same number of languages for conversations as well the complexity increases multifold without adding much value to the user experience. Hence we decided to keep the Bot's conversation language agnostic by using simple relatable emoji's .
@heavyinfo @larynxbot OK so what exactly 😓 🔤 ❌ does this simple reliable construction suppose to mean?
Sorry that the emoji was not relatable for your taste, we'll definitely improve it. In this particular case it says 'it couldn't do it's job because of language'. We are checking what exactly happened with your case.
@heavyinfo I'm not really sure what it has to do with my taste, it's just bad UX, the error is unclear and it's therefore a bad practice in general. Go on and test this combination on average people. They would probably say "there's some error with text involved" because it's what it tells and nothing more. The other question is why the bot can't process Russian while there's a Russian word on your homepage, which should state that you can work with it I suppose.
@vladzima Yes, larynxBot supports Russian. We just used a russian article from news.google.ru on @larynxBot - https://twitter.com/larynx_app/s... and can confirm that Russian language support works. Our language detection algorithm failed on the link which you sent, we are working on a fix. Thanks for your help in identifying it. Much appreciated.
