Hope you can help....

I am looking to enable an Odiogo like feature on my wordpress.com blog but I can't seem to find any existing widgets or way of doing this. It seems that Odiogo is not supported on this free blog platform.

Can you suggest another alternative way that I can get the same functionality without having to change blogging platforms?

Thanks in advance.

@kimdioninc, I am having problems on both of my blogs setting this up.

On one blog I received my odiogo ID and I am getting error that the stroy is not ready and it has been an entire day.

On one blog I did not recvie a odiogo ID at all and no email. I have emailed support. anyone has any suggestions. It did except my feed which is with feed burner..maybe that is the problem.

Appreciate any suggestions to fix this I love the idea of listen to the post.

Really a very detailed way of convert blog tnto a Podcast on iTunes for free. In fact I am also a fan of changing or converting software using tools download from ie, I often go to http://www.copy-dvd.org or other sites like dvdsoft and so on. When you finish one, you have a feeling of success though not a big one.

Yup, no question, the voice sometimes sounds robotic and sometimes has no pauses, but the technology is so powerful in how much more accessible it makes the content.

Text-to-speech tech is just going to get better - it already has made huge leaps.

It's great. BUT ... I don't use any of the blogging platforms mentioned. I just have html. How is there a script for html embedding?

I am with Ky,

Listening to podcasts while I am doing my morning cardio should help keep my butt on that bike.

I'm using Odiogo on my WordPress Blog. It was pretty painless to setup. Check out my story and website if you want to see it in action:

*WOW* WOW, I am so incredibly thrilled to find this. I'm always looking for ways to make my personal growth articles more accessible to a wide variety of people. This week for the first time I recorded an article on video in addition to the text version, for people who aren't really into reading.

The voice on Rachel's blog sounds great ... with inflection and everything. I'm impressed! Thank you for sharing this info. As I write, I have just signed up.

If you are running Joomla powered site, you can still get a plugin for Odiogo. You can get it from joomla extensions.

David,
That's great news on the upcoming voice selections!! I am really loving Odiogo, I hope lots of people put it on their sites. Is there a way to have Odiogo on other pages or is it designed for blog posts specifically?

Pai is right Genevieve. I know the voice is not perfect, but maybe a bit of a perspective would help here. I have used "talking computers" that sound of Stephen Hawkins for many years. The voice on my blog is a HUGE improvement!!! (What I think would be really cool is a female voice. Given I, the author of the blog, is a female).

You have no idea how wonderful, and liberating addaptive tech has been for people with print disabilities! I'm really grateful to Pai for helping to make my site more accessable.

I hope that this information he has provided here will be something lots of folks use on their sites. Even if the voice bugs you, if you added this feature to you blog "I" and people like me will be able to listen, and we'll likely be fine with the voice.

@Lee: we invite our users to suggest pronunciations for foreign names, uncommon words, etc. We also monitor used new words and enrich our glossary on a regular basis.

@Genevieve: we will be releasing very soon brand new voices (male/female and different accents). Stay tuned!
