It’s been a while since we’ve written a post updating our ever-loyal readers (yes, you) with any glimpses of behind-the-scenes at SEXTECHGUIDE Towers. Today, we’re writing to tell you about a new feature we’ve quietly added to the site that lets you listen to articles instead (or as well) as reading them.
We’ve added the feature for accessibility – and to make it truly useful, all the SEXTECHGUIDE AUDIO articles that have been converted so far (it’s a manual process, we’re doing what we can!) are also available through a newly-formed podcast…cunningly named SEXTECHGUIDE AUDIO.
And naturally, yes, you can subscribe to it through iTunes and the other places you would normally listen to podcasts. And no, there aren’t any ads in them, just as there aren’t any on the site.
Keeping true to our tech roots, each article is voiced by an AI-generated voice. One that’s almost certainly more natural than other AI voices you might have heard, so go ahead and give them a listen!
At the time of writing, we’ve published six audio articles, but will be adding around 20 each month – focusing on the longer-form feature articles, opinion pieces and reviews, to start. That means you won’t end up with a podcast feed full of 30 second news articles (but get in touch with us if that sounds useful and we’ll consider it!).
Articles written by a male author, have a male AI voice, and articles written by a female have a female voice.
For one article (above), so far, there’s a mix of voices designed to represent different people speaking, and being quoted, throughout the article. This is an approach we’ll be continuing with for the future, as more SEXTECHGUIDE AUDIO articles are published.
We’ve got another exciting new addition for the site in the works, too, but we’ll have to save that one for next time.
