This is pretty cool. Obviously this is a useful concept for regular users, but could it also be reversed for people with eyesight problems? As in- keep the application on your computer, find a big chunk of text you want voiced, and turn it into a podcast to listen to later? I know there’s plenty of text-to-speech services for the blind, but I don’t think any export to podcast format, which would really add some usefulness.
