This plugin allows you to create text-to-speech podcasts of your posts, with the content from embedded URLs supplied by Readability's Parser API. It aims to be a open self-hosted re-incarnation of defunct SoundGecko service.
When a Readability Parser API key is supplied, a post which gets saved with a bare URL as its content will have this content prepended with the content that Readability extracts from the page at that URL. This allows you to import an article's full contents into your podcast just by saving a post with a URL in its content (e.g. by sharing an article URL to your blog via Jetpack's post by email).
In addition to supplying a URL for the content you want in the podcast, you can also just add the content directly to the post itself without any corresponding article URL, and this content will be converted to TTS (text-to-speech) audio instead. You can also, of course, attach an MP3 to a post and it will be used for the podcast instead of TTS-generated audio from the post content or enclosed URL.
The TTS audio is generated by a Mac regularly connected to the Internet (e.g. your Mac). It generates the article audio MP3 using the OS X say command. You can configure the voice and the rate for the speech audio generated. (Use of the OS X voice is not required; an alternative TTS solution may be devised instead.) The MP3 gets attached to its corresponding post, being prepended to the post content by means of an audio shortcode.
A new listenability permalink endpoint is introduced which contains the text content of a given post presented in a textual form which can be ready by a text-to-speech (TTS) engine. It is specifically designed to be read by the speech synthesis engine in OS X as it includes embedded speech commands. The RSS2 feed includes a new enclosure element containing the URL for this endpoint with the ad hoc content type text/plain+embedded-speech-commands.
