FADE FROM BLACK - COMMERCIAL GUY SPEAKS
Is this you?
(Imagine a frumpy looking fellow sitting at a computer screen, trying desperately to type in CNN.com or FoxNews.com or NPR.org or RealUltimatePower.net into his browser, but accidentally spilling a can of paint all over himself instead. [cue sad sounding trumpet] )
Reading the news is hard! Wouldn't it be better if robots read the news to you?
Now they can!
Introducing "Robots Reading The News"! The podcast that has my mom saying:
"Boy, my son is lazy!"
And my dad saying:
"Who would ever want to listen to a robot read the news?"
With reviews like that, you've gotta try it. Just follow the instructions at the top of the post.
ORDER NOW - ROBOTS ARE STANDING BY!!!!
I built it using Node with: request, cheerio, unfluff (parsing out articles) and say libraries. Python's sumy for NLP summarization plus some text thesaurus spinning, and Ruby's dropcaster for RSS creation in Dropbox.
