A Return to Childhood

Many of us have fond memories of someone reading to us. It may have been a parent or teacher. After one's school years, it becomes a pretty rare occurrence having print decoded especially for our ears.

If you would like to try re-living the experience of hearing text read just for you, boy, do I have an app for you! You do need a smartphone or tablet as this is a mobile application that doesn't seem to have a accessible webpage companion. I'd like to let you know about Umano.



I know much of one's time nowadays is pretty much already spoken for. Yet, there's generally a little dead time, such as during a commute, when one can choose to fill a few precious hands-free listening minutes. I'd like to suggest rather listening to the same old radio station, or tired playlist, you might catch up on articles from well-known publications. It may feel a little comforting listening to words read aloud just for you!
