Description

From now on, you can not only read the latest news and stories from your favorite blogs, magazines, newspapers and social networks but also listen to them like an mp3 player. Please dont try to read an article or a message from your friend any more while moving, just listen! - Simply pick your favorite topics: NewsPlayer makes it easy to add news sources you care about by providing them by categories such as News, Tech&Science, Sports, Fun&Humor and Edu&Books. If you want more, use the search bar to find feeds in the world. - Social networking: You can also read and listen to your friends messages from Facebook or Twitter and share interesting articles, pictures and videos via SNS or email. - Placement and group management of all your content: Change the order of sources you added and manage them by groups. - High-quality offline speech service: NewsPlayer uses the world-best TTS(Text to Speech) technology which is embedded in an app so it offers natural voices without slow loading times and additional data charges. - Various speech settings: You can listen to English in 4 different kinds of voices(US male/female, UK male/female) and choose them depending on the part where he or she speaks(title, content or message). In addition, the speaking rate is controlled for English learners. - Player and playing in background: Tap play, pause, (skip)back or (skip)forward buttons like using an audio player. The speech service works in background and is controlled by your headphone. [Demo Video] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNLPTa8ex9s [Contact us] [email protected]

Not so useful

thaboy · 13 years ago

I was interested in this for keeping up with my Twitter feed. In reality, it just doesnt work very well for that. Not really the developers fault, Twitter just isnt conducive to having it read to you since there are so many links embedded. The cadence of the voice is also a little difficult to interpret every posting. I would use it for news, but why wouldnt I just listen to the radio or watch TV if I didnt want to read it online? Glad it was only $.99.

Could have potential - not ready yet

I took a chance buying this app on the possibility the creator had built what Ive been looking for for some time: an audible (tts) rss reader. The layout and functionality arent bad as far as they go but the app lacks the ability to do anything beyond reading the title and summary aloud. After this, you have to visit the article web page and read it without speech support (no tts). ** Add the ability to read the full article aloud and youll have a very good piece of software here. Until then, I cant say its worth much.** Also keeps prompting me to add a twitter account - not sure whats up with that?
