Accessible radio with SpeakOn

Bill — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:57:03 +0000

Our friend Isaac Porat at a-technic keeps improving SpeakOn.

His Windows software makes finding and listening to radio simple — without looking — just a keyboard and your ears.

Using the RadioTime API, this week’s release better integrates access to live programmes, podcasts, and BBC listen again. You can also now find easy access to the full weekly station lineup.

All for free. Thanks Isaac.

Skywest Magazine December 2005

I’m 48. My demographic just doesn’t listen to music as much as we once did. So, instead of listening to music on an iPod, I use RadioTime. It essentially makes my iPod into my radio.

It’s really easy to select what I want to listen to. When I’m going to Denver, I’ll listen to something longer, like Car Talk. If it’s a quick trip down to John Wayne (in Orange County), I want something shorter. I have a plan when I’m walking on the plane. I manage my radio selections like I manage any other part of my day.
