So here's my review after actually started using it and set it up for both of my main use cases:

👉 Personal: I have a few new subscriptions that I don't have the time to read everything, but since I drive quite often, I can turn them into podcasts and just listen on the go

👉 Blogs: For the same reason, but for our blog audience. I can embed People can listen to the articles on the go, and subscribe so they don't miss an article/episode.

Set up was easy. I was able to create my first "Show" from my phone while waiting to pick up my kids. I used Crello (for the first time) to create a cover for the show 🙌 then wrote a few descriptions with the help of Writesonic, all under 15 mins from my 📱

Once I got home, I did the following:
📄 Copied and pasted my blog to Listnr.
🎙 Pick a voice. Right now some voices have more word limits than others. I used Angela (US) because she's nice and she lets me convert 5k+ words 😍
🪄 Format the article - Super easy: you highlight the parts you want to add delays. I usually do 3 seconds from the title, 1 second after a subheading. There are other options you can do such as get the AI to spell out, change tone etc...

✅ All done in 15 mins.

1 tip: Add a full stop (.) to the end of your subheadings, so the AI can do a natural pause and not end the word abruptly. If they could work on the formatting to make it a default for subheadings that'd be great but not a pain for me. Anan said his team will be working on that.

The embed link was ready so it took me a minute to paste that to my blog post 👍
They also have a walkthrough guide to show you how to set up on Spotify too.

After setting up, Spotify said it might be a few hours until it was ready, but after a couple of minutes, my link was live! https://hi.houseoflittles.com/spotify

Now our audience can listen on the move, and once they subscribe, they can listen to other episodes whenever we release them too!

I got to know Anan before he launched on Appsumo and I can vouch for him and the team. They work super hard to improve Listnr and updates after updates are flying out.

If any of the above use cases related to you, in your next cigarette/coffee/tea break grab a code and try converting one of your content pieces. I got all of it set up in under an hour and cannot be happier with the result.
