Podcast me

Francis Shanahan has a new SAPI-powered web application that creates and streams a TTS Podcast from any RSS stream.

So now you can subscribe to my blog in podcast format, then listen on your MP3 player.  It uses the robot-sounding Microsoft Sam voice, but hopefully soon we'll get him upgraded to the much better voice that ships in Vista.

You've been Robocast!

Hey, I hope you like the concept at least. I'm not that happy with the implementation though, even the commercial voices I've tried don't sound that good. I have Vista running but it's inside Virtual PC and as you may or may not know, Vista doesn't support the sound card which the VPC emulates so I can't get sound :(

A top-secret tip: get a copy of the latest Streets & Trips.  It includes an XP version of the (much improved) Vista voice.
