What does it do?

Playpost transforms articles on the web into audio using artificial intelligence to create natural-sounding audio. So it sounds like a real person reading to you.

Why do we need it?

Playpost allows you to make better use of your available time by listening instead of reading. Listen while commuting, walking to the grocery store or when working out. You don’t need to sit down and read anymore.

Who is it for?

The app is suitable for people who read a lot of stories on the web, but can’t always find the time to read it all. Now they can just listen to it, even at times when they can’t read but cán listen.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

The app uses DeepMind’s WaveNet technology, making the voices sound as realistic and natural-sounding as possible. This is currently the best available technology to transform text into speech. Now in the hands of everyone.

What’s next?

With the launch of the app for iOS and Android we’ll start focussing on providing this service to writers, bloggers and publishers all around the world. So they can offer their audience with audio versions of their articles.
