What Is This?
RSS Audio Podcast Service is meant for people who have a website or a blog with an RSS Podcast.
An example RSS Feed of Microsoft.com is here
What our service does is convert an RSS Feed into an audio based RSS Podcast. In other words, each article in the Feed is converted
into a speech recording and the link to those recordings are kept in the RSS feed. An example feed is here
What is the Process?
The RSS Audio Podcast service is separate from our regular subscription packages. We offer it as a separate service.
We have explained below how to get this in place. This is not an automatically activated service as we need to make
sure a few things are in place before your RSS feed can be converted into an RSS Audio Podcast.
Steps For Getting This In Place
- You can send us a request either using our Contact form or write to us directly at support@readthewords.com
- In your request, please send us the RSS feed url of your site
- We will get back to you within 24 hours or less, once we have seen your feed
- We will do a few test runs with your cooperation to make sure everything is in place.
- You get a user-friendly Audio Feed URL on our site like http://www.readthewords.com/rss/yourfeedname.aspx which you put up on your site
- On successful completion of all the above steps, your RSS Audio Podcast is ready to roll.
- Our servers will read your feed every 2 hours and update the audio feed
- Once you have made the subscription payment your account on ReadTheWords.com provides you access to setup your Feed details, which you can change anytime you want.
How Much Does It Cost and Why should you Go For it?
This service is for $150 a year. As such there is no limit on how many articles you can have in your feed and all the audio
files are hosted on our servers, so your site does not have to deal with extra space or bandwidth issues.
There are other online services which offer you the same functionality, but where we shine is that we offer you a level of customization
which no one else offers. We let you setup a whole lot of things as shown in the screenshot . And best of all, the RSS Audio Podcast is fully iTunes compatible.
What we offer is a value addition service to your website. This service is not for everyone, which is the reason why we
have a screening process in place. So if you feel interested do drop us a line.
You Can Try Before You Buy
We would be pleased to give you a free trial for 3 days (from the date we set it up for you) so that you can
evaluate this service for yourself.
