You may have noticed that at the top of my posts on this blog, there’s a blurb that says “Listen to this as a podcast” with a button labeled “Odiogo.” I received a comment from a reader asking me what it was for, so I am going to relink to the post I made in April about Odiogo, the text-to-voice podcasting service.

I set one up as an experiment, for the blind users of our MoPix system, to get the movie show time information. The phone was easier for them, but I liked the idea of it.
Of course, my Opera Web browser reads to me and listens to me anyway! http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/voice/using/
