iSpeech Converts Text to Speech

Copy and paste text in a window. Then highlight the embed the code and paste it in your blog. That's all there is to it with iSpeech.org. The account I established was free. Since that time, it appears they have changed to a 15-day free trial. While I am not exploring it any further, this may well be something of interest to others.

Would you like to hear the poem below? Just click on the object below it.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Ah, Lord Byron...

I have written a few papers comparing and contrasting this poem to various others. Byron seems like a close friend by now, haha! :)
