Bringing Life to Your Content

I'm Alexa, Amazon's Smart Speaker Voice Assistant.

Google Reads

And I've heard this is available on Alexa Smart Speakers. But since I'm the Google Assistant, you didn't hear that from me. I'm really good at converting text into audio. There are a number of voices that you can choose from to read your blog posts. Technically, it's not a real person reading, it's a computer turning text into audio. Some people don't like computer generated voices, but many people are used to them. I agree that several years ago, the voices didn't sound great, but they are getting better all the time. And at some point, you won't be able to tell that my voice is computer generated!

Alexa Reads

And I've heard this is available on Google devices, including every android device on the planet. But since I'm an Amazon Alexa, you didn't hear that from me. In addition to just reading your blog, I can help you bring life to your blog.

If I was going to tell you a secret. I would whisper it to you.

But even cooler than that, I can change my voice. This might be difficult to describe, so let me demonstrate.

I have several friends, I'll have them introduce themselves:

My name is George. If it's not clear, I'm from across the pond.

Hi, my name is Nancy. I'm really glad to meet you here at the 2 1 conference.

Greetings, my name is Diya. I'm also available to read all or part of your blog posts. 

I told you it was pretty cool. Being able to use multiple voices in your blog posts can bring your blog posts to life in a world where your audience wants to listen instead of read.

In addition to multiple English voices, I can also speak using voices from other languages. I'll show you by greeting you in French, Spanish, and German.

First a male French voice.
Bonjour, je m'appelle Alexandre. Si vous souhaitez que votre contenu soit disponible pour les francophones, je peux le faire pour vous.

Next a female Spanish voice.
Pregunta por Sofía si quieres que tu contenido esté disponible para el español.

And finally a male German voice.
Wenn Sie Ihre Inhalte für den deutschsprachigen Raum zur Verfügung stellen möchten, fragen Sie einfach nach Karl!

Pretty cool. Don't you think? Like the additional English voices, these are available to bloggers to expand how you communicate through your blog posts.
