Twuner is the first mobile Twitter client application that allows you to listen to the tweets unlike a conventional Twitter app, which allows you to read tweets. Twuner uses Acapela Group’s highly advanced text-to-speech engine.
“Twuner uses high quality human-like voices which you can try using Acapela Group’s interactive demo. From the drop-down voice menu, choose “Heather” to hear what the American English voice sounds like and “Graham” to see what the British English voice sounds like.”
We normally listen to music on iPod Touch or iPhone, but when tweets arrive, your music is paused, the tweets are announced, and then music playback is automatically resumed. This is the magic of Twuner. There are many such endless examples where twuner comes to rescue.
Twuner’s Feature Snapshot:
- Listen to either tweets from your own timeline (i.e. tweets from people you follow) or tweets by one of several preset users (some of the most popular/influential members of the Twitter community)
- Support for multiple Twitter accounts
- Listen to tweets mixed with your favorite music, podcasts, or audio books such that you hear your chosen audio media in between tweets.
- Choice of American English (female) & British English (male) voices with adjustable rates of speech.
- Transcript of all tweets spoken by the app (links mentioned in these tweets are “clickable”).
- Inline web browser (so, for example, you can view the photo linked to in a tweet without having to exit the app).
- Automatic refresh of tweets from the selected source at a user-selectable frequency (can be as often as once every 30 seconds).
