Having your own podcast can be as easy as posting to your Blog.
For many the thought of having your own podcast sounds like a real time hog, not to mention recording our own voice for others to hear can be somewhat frightening. Well, for WordPress bloggers this just got really easy.
I came across a plugin that will convert your articles into audio MP3 files along with integrating your podcast with Feedburner and iTunes. The Odoigo plugin has the following features:
Turn readers into listeners, and transform your blog into a high quality, ad-supporting broadcast that can vastly expand your audience reach!
- Automatic podcast generation.
- Near-human” quality text-to-speech.
- Listen Button feature deployed in next to no time for WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, BlogEngine.NET and Terapad platforms.
- Detailed download statistics.
- Make money from embedded ads.
One of the greatest items with Odoigo is that the files created are really above average when it comes to Text To Speech and with some minor adjustments in your witting style you can really produce some great sounding files for your readers (listeners). Here are a couple of tips that may help:
-
Use of heading tags in your articles.
-
Use of quotes and blockquotes in your articles.
-
Use 2 spaces between sentences.
