       | The audio quality is impressive. How do you do it?

       | I'd suggest removing "FREE for 14 days" from your post title. All
       | Show HNs are supposed to be free for people to play around with.
       | Saying "FREE" makes it look less credible.

         | Thank you for a kind suggestion as I'm fairly new to this
         | community. I edited the title as recommended.

         | As for your question. We utilize voice models made by cloud
         | providers (Google, Amazon) and apply custom NLP, to achieve
         | better speech fluency and to handle edge cases such as pauses
         | in text, numbers etc.

           | How does your pricing compare to the cloud providers?

             | We and cloud providers charge different things as they
             | charge for the number of processed minutes and we charge
             | for articles.
             | 
             | The thing is, with cloud providers you need to use API and
             | we built the whole UI and automated the process so that
             | it's just more user-friendly.
             | 
             | But if you know how to convert articles just using cloud
             | providers and not BlogAudio, then most likely you'll pay
             | less.

       | Just checked it out - awesome tool - decent voice quality. Is it
       | difficult to integrate this with Wordpress?

         | Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

         | It's not difficult at all as we have our own plugin. After
         | signing-up just go to Welcome -> connect your blogging platform
         | -> WordPress. You will find a step-by-step guide on how to
         | connect it.
         | 
         | Converting audio is super-easy with this WordPress plugin.

       | A good idea could perhaps be to add a way to hear it in action
       | without signing up.

         | Thank you for thoughtful feedback! We were actually considering
         | it so now I feel like you just confirmed the idea :)

       | This is awesome , wonder if I can integrate it into my website to
       | give my readers the option to listen to all the articles.

         | Im glad you like it! Yes, you can. Just create an account,
         | convert your articles and embed our player into your website.
         | We also integrate with WordPress and Ghost.
         | 
         | If you have any specific questions, I'm happy to answer.
