Frequently Asked Questions: What
equipment do I need in order to listen to the Red Herring podcast? To
listen to the audio version of a Red Herring article, just press the Listen
Button To
download a podcast, you just need a computer with an internet connection and
a piece of podcast software which you'll need to install. To listen to
podcast content, you'll need any brand of mp3 player or any computer with
audio-playing software. Here are some: How
much does it cost? Red
Herring podcasts are completely free. How
are text files converted into sound files? The Red
Herring uses Odiogo’s service artificial intelligence technology called
text-to-speech (TTS) to convert textual content into spoken words. Our
linguistic teams are constantly improving the quality of the automatically
produced podcasts, teaching the TTS engine how to pronounce new words such as
products, companies, foreign names, and new abbreviations. How
big are the audio files? The
audio files are very small: the average news item "weighs" 1 MB. In
other words, you can store approximately 500 articles on a 512 MB MP3 player.
The podcast feature of iTunes or Juice will automatically manage the deletion
of old MP3 files. There is therefore no risk of overloading the memory of
your mobile device. My
question was not answered in the FAQs. What now? If you
