Read It

Read It is a text-to-speech service that converts newsletters and articles into audio. Users receive a personal podcast feed URL to add to their podcast app, and a personal email address to which they can forward newsletters or other emails for conversion to audio. A bookmarklet lets users convert any web page or article into audio with a single click. New accounts do not require billing information and receive free credits to trial the service. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with no subscriptions; the page states that 10,000 characters costs 25 cents. A sample audio clip from Alice in Wonderland is available on the homepage.
