Voice Brief is an app that can read out some of the things you otherwise will be skimming through in your morning routines. I had downloaded this earlier and stopped using since I am no CEO and did not fancy my mails and facebook posts read out loud to every one around.
But that does not take away anything from the app and the idea itself. You cannot discount the easiness with which you can have the stuff read out to you when you take a bath with out having to touch your iOS device with your soapy wet hands often!
It does not give the full feel of seeing the video or image spilled all over in the social carpet, but nonetheless its an easy and quick way if you are in a hurry.
Now that I have committed myself to a SONOS for my whole home audio, I wanted to check if I can get this audio coming out of the SONOS speakers. (Even before that, Can I have a SONOS speaker in the bathroom. I was not all in for having a speaker in the bathroom, but sometimes, it may prove to be useful, especially if you plan to have a whole house announcement system or if you do not want to miss out on any of your audio programs or would like to listen to Music in bathroom)
Straight answer is since I have a work around to airplay, I can. And Play 1 is designed to be Humidity resistant. And I understand SONOS trying to keep their service focus clearly defined.
Given all this one clean solution I would look for is to have a service which can stream audio to SONOS with this capability so that choosing that channel will give a clean solution.
I am yet to come across with such a channel, and not sure how to create one if I require to. Anyone got any ideas?
Update: I found the following two sites which gives some possible approach to this. One which tells me how to add a streaming URL to the SONOS and one which tells which is a free Streaming server. Hmm, now its about how to build a stream from your sources to read out. Will Mac have a work flow to read out all my latest mails and facebook posts and stuffs like that?
