COVID-19 EDUCATE FROM HOME OFFER: We are offering a no-cost readback package to students, educators, and parents of students learning from from home during the COVID-19 outbreak - see details below.
In short, Out Loud improves your writing. How does this work?
Having someone read your writing back to you is an incredibly helpful tool when reviewing your written work. We discovered this while testing some of our own writing on some of the newer, more realistic A.I. voices out there.
We found more typos, we more easily identified awkward phrasing, our word choices seemed to get more creative, and our writing more concise. It even seemed to help us brainstorm new ideas.
Quickly, we realized that this should be developed into an app.
More testing showed lower quality, more “robotic” voices were much less effective. We decided to use the fantastic, Amazon Polly text to speech service, along with Alexa’s own text to speech capabilities (probably the most realistic solution to date).
In addition to a set of high quality voices, we needed to come up with a workflow that lets users listen and make changes efficiently. Obviously, reading back an entire document with each little edit wasn’t going to work so we developed an interface that lets users focus their read-back using simple text selection methods.
Taken as a whole, Out Loud is an evolving, high quality, text to speech service combined with an interface that lets users efficiently select, listen, make changes, then listen again. Hopefully this combination improves your writing, its certainly improved ours, so please give us a try and let us know your experience.
