Ask HN: What do you think of turning your blogs into audio

[CGamble26]

Most content I read is from a blog or news article. I’d like to listen to them when I’m at work or when I’m doing something. Seeking some validation, what are your thoughts?

[shazz8bits]

I must admit since TTS really improved, like you, I started to convert and listen to good / long blog articles and I like it! Especially when on a ride or at work.

[CGamble26]

Yes! Especially at work, we can’t have our phones out often but we can listen to music. It’d be nice to just listen. What do you use to convert them?

[FrankWilhoit]

Just me, but my whole attitude toward podcasts is transcripts or GTFO. I can read much faster than I can listen.

[CGamble26]

I can understand that. Im not fast at reading at all. I’m thinking while I’m at work, if I’m trying to learn something new, we can’t really have our phones out but we can listen to music. Nothing wrong with music but sometimes I’d like to feel productive. That or when I’m driving somewhere.

I think the same way. I love reading and I can read very fast.
