Amazon launches a TTS Plugin for Wordpress That Turns Blog Posts Into Podcasts - The Digital Reader

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to The Digital Reader site. There our intrepid kitty traveler found a post about Amazon's new Wordpress plugin.

According to The Digital Reader site owner Nate Hoffelder, Amazon has introduced its new TTS (Text-To-Speech) plugin for Wordpress. Named Polly the plugin allows blog posts to be changed into audio files and then a podcast. Amazon Polly has actually been around since December 2016, but the Wordpress plugin has added features. Polly can now whisper and speaks additional languages the original didn't. There's a link included in the post to the Tech Crunch post announcing the plugin and containing more information about it.

Polly ...  Can you translate Meow?

Panzer says, "This little kitty wants to know if one of the languages Polly speaks is Cat."

Note: This is a medium post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to read the Tech Crunch post as well, bring an extra cup of tea and another muffin.

Ripping Off Indie Authors: Let Us Count the Ways

We are indie! We are strong!

Panzer was out in the Catosphere today and happened upon this post by Coral Russell at Indie Reader.

Coral's post made Panzer and I think twice about our plans for marketing our next ebook. We planned on setting up a blog tour and even getting help setting up our Wordpress site. Looks like that's not something we should do without a lot of investigation!

Panzer says, "Is there no place an indie author is safe?"
