I recently found out Vocalyze when I was looking for advices on #startups on IRC channel. “Listen to the web” concept is exaclty the same one to Lisgo.

It seems that Vocalyze is the most promosing startup on this category. As always, I tried their web service and iPhone app to learn more.

@Voice quialiy is pretty good

The voice quality for vocalyze is pretty decent, they provide the voice speech part from their web server so they don’t need to minimize the voice quality in order to minimize the size of App.

In comparison to Acapela Speech engine of Lisgo and VoiceBrief, I don’t see so much significant difference between them though.

Even though I tested lots of voice engines but I still can’t tell what voice engine they use, anybody know?

@RSS feed functionality

It seems users can get any RSS feeds via their service, but you can’t customize them or make your own playlist. This is the main part I am really forcusing on at Lisgo.

I want to listen to the web articles I choosed so implementing RSS feeds is not enough. I want to implement my read it later list and make playlist from them, or I need to make playlist from RSS feeds easily.

they should be done very quickly and easily with easy to use interface.
