For this month, we are trying an experiment with a narrated version of Forty-Three.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The general idea is to have a version of the newsletter with the same textual content, but read aloud. This would enable the audio to play in the background while someone is busy with other things, but mentally available for multitasking. This version is an initial proof of concept, not a final rendering.<\/p>\n<p>The voices are artificial (AI generated). <\/p>\n<p>If you are interested, try this out, but then please let us know what you think.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is this a good idea?<\/li>\n<li>Bad idea?<\/li>\n<li>Mixed feelings?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<ul>\n<li>Continue it?<\/li>\n<li>Stop it?<\/li>\n<li>Let it run a bit more?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you for your assistance in this experiment.
