Product

iHear Network's Android app is a social news narrator that uses text-to-speech technology to read your articles, news, status updates and tweets out loud. Think of it as Pandora Radio for information consumption. Pick channels, like sports, news and entertainment, or add your own social news feeds. iHear Network enables you to unlock more time – and combat information overload – by allowing you to access content where, when and how you want it.
