Voicepods Has New Editing Features - Turn Text Into Voice Recordings

A few weeks ago I introduced a new tool called Voicepods. Voicepods is a service that will create voice recordings based on the text that you write. The voice recording that is generated from your text can be listened to online and you can download it as an MP3 to use wherever MP3 playback is supported.

This week Voicepods introduced two new features. First, Voicepods now has an editor that you can use to add pauses, emphasize words, change the pitch and the speed of the voice, and spell out the words in a passage. Second, Voicepods now has the option to collaborate on projects. Students can use the collaboration feature to work with each other or to share work with their teachers.

Watch my video to see how easy it is to use Voicepods.
