Wow, l'm impressed. I was using "text to speech" web tools before,but it takes too much effort to copy and paste the text into those platforms, and the the quality of the audio is usually extremely poor. Podcastle extension is right the opposite, and so seamless to use! I would even be willing to pay for this! Two questions 1. Seems like the tool doesn't work with Google docs, are you planning to build the integration in the future? 2. Do you consider adding more sound speed options? like 1.75x, 2x. That would be very handy

@mane_yeganyan Thanks for your positive feedback ! What regarding to our questions - Yes, integration with Google docs will be added with one of our next releases and of course some more speed options will be available as well.

I use Duck Duck Go, seems it can only read "do not sell my data..." 😹 after I installed the extension. Anyways, great idea though!

The Concept is great! The UX and the UI are great but That for sure not a human voice. I am reading my articles in medium or using Pocket to save my articles and they both have a text to speech feature that sounds robotic. I would love to use your product if you manage to change the Robotic sound to a real human voice =)

Amazing, thank you for creating! I am excited to see this space, I can see bloggers having all blogs with a podcast button. When is the app coming out?

I love the idea. I’ve been using the text-speech on my iPhone for years. After you enable text to speech in accessibility, then when I want something read hit select all and hit speak. It is using the selected voice, not bad, but not human, so it’l be nice to try with a better voice. I’m not a slow reader, but it turns out I can listen much faster especially if I turn the speed up. I’m hoping your speed option is coming soon. I’ll definitely give it a try and give feedback when I get back to my computer!

@craigmacfarlane Thanks for the feedback, we are constantly working on it to improve the voice.
