Folks,

We have a new "Listen Now" button at the top of each post now. This is to make the website more accessible to people who may have trouble reading the print. You can also subscribe to the Odiogo feed using the button in the sidebar. This enables you to get our posts as a podcast or other auditory means.

There is bound to be some unintended hilarity as the American voice grapples with Indian names and our tendency to lapse occasionally into the vernacular. Also, videos embedded into the article will not be available through the feed. The best way to get around this is to keep the article open and cue the video when the spoken text gets to the point. Unfortunately, this is the technology that is available now( or at least as far as I can figure it out!) and we will keep updating as it improves.

Do check it out and let us know how it works for you. And do spread the word to friends who may have hesitated to check out the excellent articles written by our contributors due to visual impairment.

Cheers,

Editor
