What is SoundGecko?

What is SoundGecko?

SoundGecko (www.SoundGecko.com) is a new app for the iPhone, it takes any website and converts the text to speech. It’s a great app for when you are out walking or driving to work and you don’t want to read a lot of text, so why not convert it to speech!

You can convert the website text to speech in two easy ways. Email the Link or use the Chrome Applet, Heres how to convert it:

Email the link:

  • Locate the webpage you are wanting to read,
  • Copy the URL (web address – e.g. www.domain-name.com/page.html) into a new email,
  • Email the URL to go@soundgecko.com,
  • Open the SoundGecko app on your iPhone,
  • Select the document you want to listen to and just press play!

Use the Chrome Applet

SoundGecko Applet // WhichSocialMedia.com

 

  • Locate the webpage you are wanting to read,
  • Click the SoundGecko Applet,
  • Open the SoundGecko app on your iPhone,
  • Select the document you want to listen to and just press play!

You can also link your DropBox or Google Drive account to SoundGecko.

Email receipts can be sent to you to confirm your recordings, these will be sent to the account which you have signed up with. You can turn this service on or off within the preferences tab on the SoundGecko website.

SoundGecko does a really great job at encoding text to speech and sounds quiet natural too.

From reading the SoundGecko website, the service is currently free at the moment but they are developing more functions and later on, this will turn into a paid service. Even if it was a paid service, i would look at paying for it. I wish i had something which was this easy for me to use when i was at university, all those websites i had to read over and over to study for exams, this site would have come in handy. Now, i am always surfing the net as part of my job, this is going to make my job a lot easier!

Check SoundGecko out at www.soundgecko.com

*** UPDATE: 5th August, 2012 ***

SoundGeck just announce an update with the following details:

  • NEW: Added a popular tab to see trending articles which other customers are listening too.
  • NEW: playlists items are grouped by days
  • FIXED: iPad now correctly shows main screen
  • FIXED: Playlist being cut off at the bottom
  • FIXED: Listen state’s not being remembered if you refresh during playback
  • CHANGED: When re-opening the app after inactivity, we now only refresh if its been an hour or longer (instead of 5 minutes). You can “pull to refresh” the table to reload immediately.
  • CHANGED: You no longer need an account to start using the application (by trying the Popular articles section)
  • CHANGED: Cache link icons across application restarts
  • CHANGED: Gracefully handle connection failures by clearing loading screens on the UI and allowing the user to re-try a refresh when connectivity is available
  • CHANGED: Whiten and underline the “Find out more / Register” links found on the Login / Get Started screen
  • CHANGED: After a network playback error, don’t automatically move to the next item in the list
  • CHANGED: Adjusted the toolbar header colour to match the SoundGecko colour swatch
and guess what, SoundGEcko are listening to customer suggestions… so if you want to improve it, let them know, email them at go@soundgecko.com or Follow @soundgecko
