YAKiToMe for Text-to-Speech

I haven’t had much time to test this out yet… but, there is one feature of YAKiToMe that might make this an interesting addition to your eLearning tool set: easy podcasting of your converted files.

Check out this audio file that was converted from text of my previous post on Webconferencing Benefits.

As I explore this tool more, I’ll add an update.

Time to “swing your chin”

While not my most favorite web 2.0 name this year, Chinswing seems appropriately named. But, I digress. This little tool lets you hold asynchronous voice conversations. Yep, you read me correctly: You create a discussion by recording a message, then someone else can come along and record a message back to you. It’s simple to use and quite fun, too. Check it out by creating a free account at Chinswing and then posting a comment to my discussion about educational uses of Chinswing.

Oooh… I forgot to mention – you can subscribe to the RSS feed and have the conversation delivered to your iTunes (or get a notice in your email). Pretty neat.
