Today every net citizen is completely overwhelmed by the quantity of photos, videos, tags, posts that she needs to be aware of to stay updated about her friends, colleagues, partners, competitors, etc. There could be a new way to do this (for textual contents at least).
Dixero, a new startup based in Switzerland, tries to change the user experience of post consumption decoupling it from the presence in front of the pc. Imagine listening to Techcrunch while working out or going through Mashable posts while travelling on a train. Using a text to speech technology this becomes possible:
Dixero is a free and innovative Web-based tool which allows you to listen your favorite RSS feeds directly online, on your computer as Podcast, or in your portable device, like an iPod!
At last, with Dixero, you can aggregate your favorite feeds from the most recognized media companies and blogs, transforming posts into audio with different voices.
The service can be tested in preview through a demo feed aggregating Techcrunch, Endgadget, Gizmodo, Read/Write Web and CrunchGear. I’ve listened to some of the posts and I must admit the quality seems good. I’m curious to see the feedback from real users.
Dixero will be available on the middle of January with the possibility of choosing the voice you like most and personalized channels. You can ask for an invite on the site.
