You can still have Odiogo process the feed and convert text to audio for download, however you can't let them stream the audio clip via an embedded instance. Basically readers will have to visit a different page to access the recordings. I'm not sure how frequently the feature is used here, but I do find that it's a valuable way of looking at the same post from a different context. The holes in a post - or its logic - can be much more apparent when listening to it read back to you instead of re-reading. So I use the feature fairly frequently myself - it's also a nice way to save your eyes if you're like me and spend a great deal of time reading on-screen text. Cheers, Mike Hi Joni,

More people should be using Odiogo. It does help to listen as you read along. I see the "listen now" button at the top, so it does work with a WordPress.com blog without the plugin?
