Now you can listen to BetaNews stories as well as read them

TuneIn is the world's largest mobile radio app with over 50 million monthly users. The company works with the likes of ESPN, BBC and Wall Street Journal, and now it will also be providing audio versions of BetaNews stories.

If you’re a regular visitor to our site, you may have noticed some stories have had an audio player at the top of the page (like the one above here). We’ve been trialling the service for a while, and now it’s ready to go fully live.

Not every story that’s published on BetaNews will be available in audio form, but if you encounter one that is (such as this, or PlayStation 4 sales double that of Xbox One in first year), all you need to do is click the play button and have the story read out to you. TuneIn only uses professional voice actors, there’s no nasty text-to-speech nonsense here.

The same stories will be broadcast on TuneIn. You can listen to the available content here, and also follow and share our channel.

As well as tuning in on the web, there are apps available for smartphones (iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry), tablets (iPad, Android and Amazon Kindle), and televisions and connected devices. Browse the full selection here.

We’d love to know what you think about the audio versions of our stories, so please sound off in the comments below. Do you listen to any other content on TuneIn?
