While this is cool, especially the fact that it's a real human voice and not a horrible text-to-speech synthesiser, I really wish there was a more general "reading things out app", which would work with any URL or data source, not just Medium articles. Also I'd like an app where the voice doesn't just read off the text verbatim, but goes more slowly over complicated phrases and sentences, perhaps drops out here and there to explain and clarify stuff, and just generally covers it in a way that's super accessible and understandable to someone who is on-the-go and mildly distracted. Something I find so annoying is having to stop in the middle of walking a busy street just to try and scrub back a podcast by 15 seconds so I can re-hear a particularly tricky 10 seconds that I didn't quite catch. So I want to flow and speed to be slow enough for me to completely absorb the ideas while out walking/commuting, without having to scrub.
