Tweets Aloud 3.0 is a personalized “News Radio” that broadcasts your friends’ tweets directly to you, then lets you dictate your own tweets via automated Siri-like speech recognition from Nuance. Using state of the art text-to-speech and speech-to-text technology, you can listen hands-free to everything your friends post in a soothing voice and then speak your replies, all while you’re driving, walking, working out, or just relaxing. Why listen to gritty news that you don’t
really need to know from around the world, when you can listen to news from the
people and places that you care about instead?
