How does one read less, but digest more? 18-09-05

Part of the new Digestible Post initiative!

Keeping abreast of things on and off STEEM, means consuming loads and loads of information, most often in text form. We're being reassured that speed reading is just plain bunkum , so how does one improve their daily text intake? Some of you no doubt are already familiar with the solution I use myself -- Text-To-Speech!

Speech synthesizers may come in many forms browser extensions, standalone desktop apps and even web services like our very own @tts. That last one is useful in situations when you don't have a TTS app, but converts only select articles and does not provide any speed controls -- something I find is absolutely vital to the usefulness of the whole concept.

Post Script

Whew, was running a bit short but managed to stick it today. My scribbling efforts ate away into my free time a bit so haven't mentioned anything on reading comprehension. Will consider that for tomorrow's post.
