I have been following these guys since late last year. While the product is great as it is, their roadmap excites me even more. And having followed their progress for ~5 months, I do know that they deliver. Good stuff Ananay & Matthias!

Have been watching out on listnr for a long time and have seen them shipped so many things constantly, a big congratulations to @ananay_batra on launching this, super happy for you man 🙌🏻. ❤️
I do like the idea of the product, but the quality of the voices isn't there yet. I wish Listnr could use https://wellsaidlabs.com/ to produce the audio as the quality is 100x more natural. @ananay_batra any reason why this isn't an option yet? 😉
it will be cool if it talks like "The Machine" from the Person of Interest tv show. https://youtu.be/cHIo96yBf70?t=22
Super easy to use, new voices are added frequently & a great proactive team! Best of luck today 🔥
@tom_van_den_heuvel Thank you soo much Tom! Really appreciate all the support! :))
great app with great features congratulations @ananay_batra good luck with upvotes!
@selcuksenturk Thank you so much for the support! We'll have the Chrome Extension soon! :))
Congrats on the launch @ananay_batra!
How did you come up with such a great logo?
I think once you get your first 1000 users you could be a great fit for Alexa Fund!
@eugenehp Thank you Eugene! We used a simple logo maker hahah, we have over 1k users right now, would love to know more about the Alexa Fund :)
Congrats on the great DAU metric! @ananay_batra
Several of my friends went though https://developer.amazon.com/en-...
Take a look and see if this is a good fit for your company.
I had used other podcasting platforms and then Listnr. Well, I could say that after using Listnr I went 180 degrees with my podcast. This is future of podcasting available right now. Other platforms will have to copy Listnr to be able to keep users. I recommend it highly
Have been using Listnr for a couple of months now. Hardworking founder. I see features being added in every few weeks. Really excited for the upcoming chrome extension as well. All the best Listnr!
@hyzhenry Thank you so much Henry! Wouldn't have been possible without your support! :)
I wasn't too sure about text to speech software previously, as most of the software generates robotic sounding speech that just sounds terrible.
Then I came across Listnr, and trying out their trial, I made a test run and sent the voice clip to some friends and also my wife and asked them how it sounded. Guess what, all of them said it sounded like a real person talking. That's what really convinced me to jump aboard the Listnr bandwagon.
So if you're really looking for realistic sounding text to speech conversion, then do give Listnr a go, I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.
The idea is simple and straightforward. Speechify was what I used and is still much more robust, but I am still looking forward that this product catches up.
So, far there are still some problems with converting some pages and I can't select the speaker (German etc. only English) when using the Chrome extension. If auto-detection doesn't work, maybe an user assist (point and click) to select the content could help. The extension also is very verbose in the console (debug-mode). I am waiting on a push and updates. Is there a changelog somewhere?
What languages do you specifically support?
I can't seem to find a list of them on your home or on your features page.
