Listen to a post in a click - Talkr FeedFlare!
Thanks for Mike Perry over on BLAUGI for letting me know a couple of features of this blog can merge to make every post talk!
I’ve had a feed for Talkr, which converts text to speech, available for some time. Thanks to FeedBurner Flare + Talkr you can now hear any post by clicking it’s “Listen to this” link. This relies on Talkr performing the conversion which seems to happen within a few hours of posting.
Talkr is pretty clever as tries to add appropriate expression to the sentence. It’s not just a boring monotone voice and also copes pretty well with “non English” technical terms. I think it pronounces hippopotomonstrosesquipedalianism better than I can!
It does stumble a little with my made up name “RobiNZ” but I find “Robe-in-zee” quite endearing!
If you have a Blog and use FeedBurner learn how to make your own posts talk here.
Hi Richard, I've no idea how many, if anyone, listens to the Talkr podcast files but their service works fine and is no hassle for me.

Check out www.yakitome.com. It's free, easier to use, and more capable than talkr.
