@PaulHoule i've seen in the conclusion of your research that you are pointing to classifying to the content of those webpages behind the links, so I guess you are working on it. I think there will be a great improvement on how the classifier works if you have more content to analyse.

@kristianp thanks for the input, I am simply looking for ideas, my initiative is clear about that. Can you give an example in real world about how would a user benefit from a product classifier, are not those existing since long in the market?

@PaulHoule Thanks for sharing your research paper and classifier, It is interesting. I've question though which I found while going through the top 200 articles picked in your algorithm, would it not be a more efficient classifier if you have the data from all those shared links instead of just the titles or some meta data, like if you would have the web pages crawled and scraped all at once to feed the classifier in realtime, would not that bring more accurate results?

I totally agree about ads in ads, what solution do you think can work at scale for those?

there are many strong ideas out there yet people lack the courage to do them or lack someone to help them. That is natural what you are in, i've had the same feeling when I got the idea to help people listen to podcasts from blog articles (websitevoice.com) as I am a developer myself it has not been difficult for me to get help from good people who loved the idea. So my first thing to do is probably talk about your idea to people who you think they can listen to you and sharing is caring. I've been contacted from people here in HN about if my new business needs support for design, marketing, the beginning is difficult. Never give up a great idea you have, because if you do not do it someone else will later do it!

This is an example of a Blog post that is converted realtime to a high quality audio, the technology used is Text To Speech and Artificial Intelligence, where combined allows consumers of web articles have an option to listen to the content while they are busy or on the go!

Thanks PapaSlug, i like your username. The Typo is fixed now.

thanks for the input. We have built several products before and we follow the same strategy almost with every new product.

currently it’s free and there will be some paid features in the future, the site is preparing for that.

thanks for the input:

there is a demo button here on this page where you enable your website. You can even test the feature without signup.

timClicks that is not true, there are many products out there that do not rely on capitals, It does not matter who I am personally. The service is free of charge until we cannot make it free of charge anymore for whatever reason. We are focusing now on user's feedbacks who already added the widget. you can find more answers on our business model there. https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/finished-mvp-to-turn-blog...

good, at least you powered your blog with voice. happy to see it useful for you.

why it really matters on who I am? I'm a developer with passion to help people listen to podcasts and the idea was simple. How can I offer it for free? I do a lot of work to make it happen, there will be a premium version with more features which are being cooked with the help of many developers who loved the idea too.

I'm not here to pitch the idea to make people like it, if you do not like it, be constructive on a given problem. To get a feeling more on how it feels on a blog here is an example: https://websitevoice.com/blog/text-to-speech-dyslexia-and-re...

if the solution does not appeal to you, it surely appeals to others.

It's certainly better than most TTS out there. We are developing AI in-house to make it as humanly sound as possible. There's always improvement need to be made, but we're getting there :) Your latter suggestion is definitely worth something to look at. Let me know once you've tested it out. We highly appreciate any feedback. Cheers!
