That's interesting. Please let us know how it goes. My vague impression is that we're about a year from this kind of thing being almost easy.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 10:16 PM, Ron Frazier (ALE) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:atllinuxenthinfo@techstarship.com" target="_blank">atllinuxenthinfo@techstarship.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi Ed,<br>
<br>
I downloaded beyondpod and tried it with the rss feed for eff. I
didn't know they had a feed until I explored further.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.eff.org/rss" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/rss</a><br>
<br>
So, I see that beyondpod can be used to read rss feeds. I'm trying to
determine if it can use the text to speech system in android. If not,
I like the idea of using an rss reader app that can use the tts system.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Ron<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>That said, I bet it's worth checking for text-to-speech
features of phone apps. I like BeyondPod, and although I haven't tried
the feature, I see that it exists:</div>

Oops. I read that more closely, and it looks Windows-ish. I use
BeyondPod on my Android phone and was thinking that feature was
available for the Android app. Maybe not.

<div>Still, the point is that I bet a mobile app could do a nice job
with this.<br clear="all">

call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
