(PRWEB) October 31, 2007 -- Odiogo (http://www.odiogo.com), the leading Web 2.0 provider of text content shifting solutions, has announced today that its automatic podcast offering allows listening to and reading internet news sites and blog posts on portable devices. Odiogo's solution automatically converts internet articles into high fidelity audio files which can be automatically uploaded to iPods and MP3 players. While listening to downloaded audio files, users also have the ability to simultaneously read the text of the audio story or article on the device's screen.

"With the proliferation of access devices such as MP3 players and mobile phones, Content Providers want to maximize the ways to reach their audience and embrace the Write Once, Consume on Many paradigm," said Marc Kawam, CEO of Odiogo. "The hundreds of thousands of audio file downloads we have experienced for the last few months on our platform confirm end-users' interest in our content repurposing offering."

The readers of my blogs are MBA candidates who are very often on the go. With the addition of this new feature from Odiogo, they can decide if they want to listen, read, or do both. For example, it is easier to concentrate on a TOEFL or GMAT question when reading it on the screen.

We find this new addition particularly useful for people who want to quickly browse through a story before listening to it

Foreign readers appreciate being able to read and listen simultaneously.
