This is great for ad hoc podcast during commute. Imagine a mobile app with access to my bookmarked articles on Medium. Instant playlist!
Hello People!
We are electrified to share with you the PLAY Embedded Player. It helps you listen, narrate and embed articles as podcasts on Medium.
If you are a Medium writer and wish to have an audio version of your article then simply paste the generated link your Medium article and have the Embedded Player in your article! But if you are not a Medium writer you can use it to listen to articles. It's free for listening and embedding :)
Let us know what you think.
Cheers
@hammadh4 I've tried to convert this one: https://medium.freecodecamp.com/... unfortunately, it didn't start from the beginning.
@csaba_kissi oh sorry for that, we will check this issue, but you can find it complete now, check it here please https://play.ht/articles/e404913...
This is super cool. Being able to provide audio to Medium posts with practically zero effort is a no brainer. Congrats on the launch team 🙌
@fredrivett Thanks Fred, please use it :), you can find all your articles here btw ;)
https://play.ht/users/5fe97d04ff20 Spread the word if you like it and let us know if you have any suggestions or feedback
Really cool Service. Is funny to listen German article in English 😖 https://play.ht/articles/1491803543
@_stritti_ Sorry Stephan, currently we only support English articles, we will filter the other languages soon you don't get a German article in English :)
@rayishan exactly what i was thinking - shuffle like spotify by medium tag and just hit skip when you want - could be outstanding for consumption
@muzzytree yes, you can now use https://play.ht on a mobile browser to listen to any Medium or Pocket articles.
But from Medium apps, this need the author of the article to embed our embedded player in his article e.g. https://medium.com/the-corsa-blo...
@3raxton Thanks, please add it to your articles and let us know if you have any suggestions or feedback.
This is awesome! Turning medium posts into podcasts has been a dream of mine for awhile. I would love if at some point medium articles could adopt an audible like component complete with human narration and sound effects/music to enhance the listening experience.
on chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit) trying to load various articles - and it's constantly at "loading" never starts (or if I switch voices it will always show "switching voices" in the status, so can never get it to start no matter what I try). great idea and hope I Can make it work.
@noamgonen Sorry for that it was an error from our side, so much traffic :) sorry for that and it should be working fine now.
@theashtube It is a machine voice, and we don't currently have human narration.
@ma7moudfelfel Nice - maybe a future feature then, as communities can be very helpful to provide resources. YouTube allows users to submit subtitles/captions to many videos.
