Microsoft has announced that it is making it easier for you to listen to your favorite Microsoft Tech Community Blog articles. The company is introducing a new feature to the platform, text to speech which is powered by Azure Speech Services.

The feature is an assistive technology that reads digital text aloud,similar to the one available in the Microsoft Translator app. Therefore, avid Microsoft followers and watchers will be able to listen to their favorite Microsoft Tech community blogs like a podcast, rather than having to go through the entire blog word for word, ultimately reducing the hassle and strain that one has to go through while reading.

Microsoft has partnered with the Azure Speech Services team, part of Azure Cognitive Services to bring this feature to its Tech Community Blogs. All you need to do to access this feature is to click on the little headphone icon which is at the top left of any Microsoft article.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
