Marketing Pilgrim

Usability diva, Kim Krause Berg, briefly mentions a new tool that reads the content on a web page - yes, it talks to you.

Obviously, the tool has benefits for those visually impaired, but Kim also points to another use - testing your copy to make sure it sounds right.

Unfortunately, my quick visit to the Textic Talk site was less than successful. The tool kepts restarting itself and was very jerky in its audio. It also sounded like it was placing the wrong emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble.
