Thankyou to the guys at Odi­ogo we can now offer and audio pod­cast of our blog posts.

The Odi­ogo ser­vice will con­vert your blog posts into and audio file and will cre­ate an alter­nate RSS feed for your newly cre­ated podcast.

The ser­vice is really very good and the text-​to-​speech engine they use seems to be very effec­tive. I have only tried Eng­lish as a lan­guage so I have no idea on how it will work for other languages.

Inte­grat­ing the ser­vice in your weblog is fast and easy:

• Sub­scribe to the ser­vice at Odiogo.
• Down­load the Word­Press plu­gin, install it on your plat­form and acti­vate it.
• Con­fig­ure your Odi­ogo plu­gin with your Odi­ogo Feed ID.

You are done! It’s that easy.

If had to make a critic to the ser­vice I would like the word­press plu­gin to be a lit­tle bit more configurable.

It would be a good idea to let the user choose to which cat­e­gories the ser­vice should apply. Just to give you an exam­ple I would not want to pub­lish on my pod­cast the del​.icio​.us cat­e­gory post.

Apart from this lit­tle thing it’s a great ser­vice and, by the way, it’s free for bloggers.
