About this service
Many readers would rather listen to your newsletter on a commute than read it, but a digest read aloud needs clear signposting: where one story ends and the next begins, who said what, and figures read so they are understood the first time. We read your issue in a steady synthesized newsreader voice, with stories kept apart as in your text and careful pronunciation of the people, places and companies in the news. The voice is synthesized, so say so at the start of the episode or next to the player.

What we need from you
The issue text as it should be read (without the links, ads or image captions you want skipped), the language, and how to pronounce the names and places in this issue.
We will ask you:
- Is it a daily, weekly or one-off issue?
- Which parts should be skipped?
- Which names in this issue are hard to pronounce?

Questions and answers
Can I publish it as a podcast?
Yes. Upload the MP3 to your podcast host or embed it next to the newsletter, and mention the synthesized voice in the description.
Do you read links and ads?
Only what you paste. Remove links, tracking text and anything else you want skipped before sending.
Is this a real newsreader?
No. The voice is synthesized and does not imitate any real presenter.
