Text-to-speech technology allows more people to access your best pieces
If your reporters have gone to the trouble to write a great article for your website, it feels like a no-brainer to get as much mileage from it as possible.

In an article for The Fix Media, tech and media journalist David Tvrdon looks at a handful of tools and tips that enable you to pursue this strategy. Most of the platforms offer free trials so you can have a play around and see what works best for you.
