Hi @ma7moudfelfel @hammadh4, adding a time estimation during the process of #play transcribing will help to avoid user frustration.

@vij2288 @hammadh4 Thanks Vijith, it shouldn't take much time in this state anyway, less than a minute, depending on the article length, but will add it.

asks:

- would love something equivalent for Wix blog

- would be great if you could somehow download the file and upload this as a podcast for iTunes and Android

Pros:

easy, intuitive to set up, well explained, simple, like the accent options

Cons:

voice a bit robotic, unnatural

@madmork My service (which I just recently released on PH) has the add podcast feed feature you're looking for and you can also download the converted files. I use Amazon Polly, which is great, but I like the UI of Play a lot better than what I have :) https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Does this do any better than Firefox's reader mode's read out loud feature which works for all articles (Except that it is for Chrome)? https://support.mozilla.org/en-U...

This is impressive. Can we get an arnold schwarzenegger version as well? :)

@abe_storey Hahaha ... we are in talks with Morgan Freeman though ;)

I noticed the extension likes to skip roughly 10-15 seconds from the beginning. Also, would be great if it read out numbered lists. @ma7moudfeifei

@davidsfeng Thanks David for trying it, will check this and fix it asap. And regarding the numbered lists, the extension should read them as long as it is text, but will check this one as well

This is beyond cool. Work great, home the medium people notice this and make it a standard feature. Thanks!

@sorinamzu Thanks Sorin, actually I hope so also, we are Medium lovers and built this for ourselves first because we couldn't find this feature on Medium
Joanna Jiang
@ma7moudfelfel @sorinamzu I was also looking for a feature like this before and unfortunately couldn't find anything. Thank you for creating this!
