Personal Notes
- I usually let a bunch of feeds queue up and listen to them while going to work/school.
- The UI could probably use improvement, but the purpose of the app is to allow you to not look at your phone/computer to get your RSS news.
- The TTS is robotic, but it is the built-in voice, so I can't do much about that.
- I try to fix bugs I find as soon as possible if I can in my free time.
Feedback
I welcome any feedback for improving the app.
Please post requests/problems/comments here.
Enjoy!

UPDATE!
- FeedSpeak Lite now available for FREE! Enjoy!
- (Note: This version will receive less updates and features than Pro version)

Thanks!
Sorry, the app isn't free ($0.99).
Please forgive my posting of it here.
A 'lite' version for Free is in the works though...

I love it! Revolutionary, well done! Whats the difference between this one and the lite version?

Wow. Thanks!

The free version is really just a fork of the Pro version, starting at v1.9.6. It simply has features disabled, and it will not get as much attention for updates that the Pro version will.

Here is a list of differences:

• Free
• • No article/summary topic filtering
  • Fixed to fetch 100 articles at one time
  • Cannot speak article summaries, just titles
  • Less likely to receive new updates
• Pro
• • Filter out and skip articles with key words
  • Can control how many articles [40-260] to fetch at once
  • Can speak article titles and/or summaries
  • Updated with new features by request (if possible)

I hope this helps!

Hi everyone, thanks for the interest!

Won't get an Android till June 23rd. AT&T Captivate launches 18th, but won't be home to buy it. Will let you know how it goes and compares to a typical visual reader like NewsRob.

I hope you enjoy the app! FeedSpeak isn't meant to replace a visual reader, and NewsRob is probably the best visual one, but it comes in handy when you want to listen to stuff while doing other things.
