VOCALYZE

Listen to your favourite blogs wherever you go. Vocalyze can read out blog or news articles rather than you having to read them yourself. If you're in the car, for instance, and don't have time to stop and read, Vocalyze allows you to listen to the blogs you follow, rather than reading them. Readers can listen on a web browser or on their mobile device - iPhone or Android phone. It reminds me a bit of Qwiki, which I mentioned a couple of months ago, where information on any subject you've searched for is then read out to you. This could be a useful tool for language learners. I tried it out today and find it quite interesting. The only thing that annoys me a little is the digital voice that's used to read out the text. It's not always easy to understand what's being said due to a lack of expression in the voices used. Other than that, I consider it a cool tool.
