AudioPal: Free Website Audio Service

AudioPal is a web service that allows you to record and publish audio using a number of methods. You can record audio through your phone, computer mic or computer keyboard. You can also upload a pre-existing audio file for quick publishing.

To record using your phone, just call the provided AudioPal number and enter the randomly generated passcode. There’s a phone number that’s available for US/Canada residents and one for International users. The next step is to preview your recorded audio and enter and email address where they can send you the link to your AudioPal recording.

Text to audio recording can be done by simply typing in your text on the input box. You are allowed to type-in up to 600 characters. After you’re done, just click the Say It button and let AudioPal do the rest. Since recording using your mic and uploading an existing audio file is very self explanatory, there’s no need to elaborate on how it’s done.

AudioPal is a free service and will not charge you a dime for using it. Regular phone charges will apply when you record using your phone. You will not be asked to register for an account. If you need the service, just head over to the AudioPal site and start recording. Only your email is required in order for you to retrieve your audio link.

BlindSpeak: Create Synthesized Text to Robotic Voice Messages

BlindSpeak is a service which allows you to send digitally synthesized messages to friends. You can easily do that by typing in your message and let BlindSpeak do the rest. Your message will be synthesized and converted to a very robotic sounding audio message.

A user is limited to sending up to five messages per day to prevent abuse of the service. The IP address of the sender is recorded and therefore can be banned to protect others from receiving threats and other synthesized verbal abuse. However, you can download your created message by sending it to yourself. You will receive the message in the form of an attached MP3 file or a weblink. Each message created through the BlindSpeak service has a retention rate of 30 Days, after which, the message will expire and will be inaccessible.

BlindSpeak is quite similar to iSpeech. The only difference is that BkindSpeak does not require you to sign up. On the other hand, iSpeech allows you to embed the converted message to websites which makes it more accessible to others.

iSpeech: Convert Text To Audio

There are several software/applications that you can use to convert text to audio and iSpeech is one of them. With iSpeech, you can convert text based content and listen to the audio version of that content, download the audio content or podcast it all for free without requiring you to download or install anything.

In order to convert text to audio, all you need to do is copy the text you want to convert and paste it on iSpeech. It will create an audible version of that content which will be played back to you. An embed code for the player will be given to you to paste on you blogs/sites. This is all done in just a few seconds. The service also allows you to upload an entire document file and convert it to audio. The engine will extract the text from your document and transform it to an audible file.

iSpeech is a very interesting service. It will allow content publishers to reach out in a different form. Text and audio can be available side by side. It will give users more options on how they will take in the content. Even though that the audio version that it produces sounds like the Terminator, it’s still fun to hear your written content spoken out loud by the iSpeech robot.

Note: I did not place a sample here because of the auto-play.
