Glad you finally did catch on to it. My wife thanks me for adding Odiogo.

Thanx for the trackback…don’t know how I missed it?

I’ve been using this for a while and it definitely helps when your eyes might be a bit too busy at the moment

You’re right, SEO, that’s why I liked it so much. I remember the old days when there were no pauses with things like this, but Odiogo seems to work wonders.

Wow, that’s amazing. I was expecting some truly robotic reading of text but that sounded almost…human. Pauses after commas, everything. Stuff like this is only going to get better in coming years so it’s totally indistinguishable from a human voice.

I have Odiogo installed on my WordPress Blog if you want to see it in action.

The other thing that semi-annoys me is that it s p e l l s o u t domain names. LOL

Other then that, it is pretty useful for the visually impaired as some say.

If you misspelled a word it’ll pronounce it weirdly and if you leave a word out you’ll notice that also. Yes, in some contexts it’s not sure which word to use, but I figure that’s a fair enough price to pay, especially when the thing is free.

Mitch,
Thanks for this post. This plugin is amazing. I can’t believe what technology can do…
It does make me wonder what happens when it comes to a misspelled word. I also noticed that it doesn’t know how to select when there are two pronunciations for a word depending on context. In your first paragraph or so, it said the word “read” as RED instead of REED. But then again, not bad…
Very cool indeed.

Thanks for the comment, Erwin. I understand about having too many plugins, or at least feeling like that. Right now, as long as they play nice with each other, I don’t mind.

I used to put it up on my blog but due to an overload of plugins, I’ve decided to leave it out instead..

But don’t get me wrong, it’s indeed a pretty decent plugin.

No problem, Salwa. If you add it I hope you enjoy it as much as I am thus far.

That’s funny, Ajith, and yet I know what you mean about the accents. I usually think I’m pretty clear, but every once in awhile I notice that I change dialects, especially when I’m tired, and then people have a hard time understanding me if they’re not from the South. Overall, though, I love this plugin; for now, as I’m trying to be more cautious about some of these things.

Thanks “Almost”; I hope you stop by often, because there’s lots to see here, that’s for sure.

Actually, I did test the alt-text, and it totally ignored it. Overall, though, I was thinking the same thing about the visually impaired when I added it. I like it; just wish it would go ahead and get all my older posts already.
