This artificial intelligence-powered audio news platform helps busy people on the go stay informed. Based in the UK, startup Lstn AI consists of an app that uses human-like speech generated by a machine to read you the latest headlines. This is perfect for cyclists, drivers and people who commute on public transit and don't wish to bump into others while trying to read the news.
Similar to podcasting, this AI-spoken audio news app instantly transforms news headlines into audible content using artificially intelligent text to speech technology. The productivity-enhancing format combined with Lstn AI's Sum It feature, which will summarize stories into short clips (coming soon), make it ideal for enhancing productivity when time is limited. Social news and existing app integration are also coming soon.
