Audiblogs lets you listen to any web article in your podcast player in an Audible-like voice. Use it to "read" while you exercise, cook, do house chores, etc.
Hi everyone 👋!
Makers Kyle & Eric here. Kyle is a former engineer at Cruise and is currently in Harvard Business School. Eric built a profitable, NLP-based SaaS company called Y Translator. We recently relocated from San Francisco to Mexico City! (Anyone in the area? Let’s connect!)
We love reading online since it’s one of the most effective ways to discover new perspectives. However, reading is kinda hard and time-consuming 🤷♂️ which lead us to constantly having a huge backlog of things to read.
At some point, we turned Paul Graham’s essays into audio podcasts for fun. We loved listening to them, as did our friends. So we decided to create a tool that allows you to do just that -- listen to any web article.
We use Audiblogs to “read” while we exercise, cook, run errands, etc. We now have 1-2 hours of extra time per day that we can use to read other things!
If you love to read but don’t have enough time, you’ll love Audiblogs!
Try it and let us know what you think!
@eric_j1 Congratulations on the launch!
If Audioblogs could also extract audio from YouTube videos and send it to the podcast player then it could solve this need gap - 'Automatic video to podcast conversion' posted on my problem validation platform - https://needgap.com/problems/66-... .
This product is absolutely amazing! If you're anything like me and have a chrome window with a thousand tabs of articles that you'll definitely, absolutely, 100% find the time to read (lol), you need this.
Btw, I'm not sure if there was a new update or what, but sending the article to my phone is literally faster than bookmarking the damn tab. I've been reckless with it!!!
I would genuinely be so sad if I could no longer use this. It'd mean going back to a backlog of tabs that I'll never read.
Generally, all of us want software and their creators to be successful here on PH, and will use up much goodwill to help them. So when an app experience is not great, you always give the creator lots of time and opportunity to sort it, and we expect little then except for some energy on their part.
Audioread is a great tool that makes it easy to convert any text into speech, but what I really love is that they allow me to sync my playlist with my podcast player (Apple Podcasts in this case), so that I can listen to all my content in one place. The audio sounds great, the app works well, and it's simple.
I like this product. It's a simple text-to-speech app that I use every week for catching up on short readings. It connects with my podcast app, so I just convert an article using the chrome extension, and then listen to it when I'm commuting to work/class.
