Do you prefer listening over reading posts? Then this is the feature that you've been waiting for!
The Hive community can now listen to longer posts with the newest Text to speech feature on PeakD! With a single click, you may now listen to the posts that you are interested in. This feature is available for English posts with at least 200 words.
INFO:
Please note that we don't use any external service to provide this new features. The audio is dynamically generated by your browser/device from a stripped down version of the post text content (images and other formatting characters are removed). This also means the quality of the generated audio may vary based on how good your browser/device is at interpreting the text.
HOW TO USE AND FEW NOTES
Using this feature is easy -- you just have to click on the play button embedded in the post that you are interested in. Then voila! You can now rest your eyes and absorb the content of posts while not having to look at your screen.
Few notes about Text to Speech feature:
- Text to speech will stop when user navigates to a different page.
- Text to speech button is only available on english posts due to poor translation for other languages.
SUGGESTIONS?
We value feedback from the Hive communnity and we'd love to hear more from you. In fact, the text to speech feature emerged as a result of a suggestion by @daltono on the Peak Projects discord server.
