AudioDizer and VideoDizer Blog

HP and MIT Technology Review have teamed up to use AudioDizer to create audio files for white papers. The white papers are sponsored by HP and discuss their new Blade System C-Class.

We think this is a great way to break down those long white papers and listen to it on your way into work.

Part of Microsoft’s ad campaign with MIT’s Technology Review includes an advertising message on AudioDizer’s podcast files. Microsoft is advertising their new VoIP service and is sponsoring the InfoTech channel on Technology Review. Also, what is unique about the advertising message is that it was created using text-to-speech technology - so it was very easy to produce and cost effective.

Learn more about the advertising by contacting bizdev@audiodizer.com. To listen to the advertising message go to Technology Review’s website and listen to any story in InfoTech.
