You may have noticed something new in our blog articles… all 230+ of them! There’s a play/pause button in the upper-left corner of each article that enables you to hear the content via text-to-speech translation. Listening to the blog articles can be a benefit for the visually impaired, or for anyone who enjoys a podcast-style experience. The technology comes courtesy of WebsiteVoice.com, an industry leader in text-to-speech.

Press the Play button and you’ll hear a smooth, lifelike narration that’s pleasing and accurate. In addition, a scrolling text window appears at the bottom of the browser while the narration is active. This shows the text being read and includes a separate play/pause button.

Enjoy the new listening experience for The Family History Guide Blog, and let us know what you think.
