Title: Microsoft tests iOS app that will read you the news Post by: HCK on August 17, 2015, 03:00:16 pm Microsoft tests iOS app that will read you the news
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Microsoft is quietly testing an app that seems designed for people who feel overwhelmed by the media’s endless stream of news stories and who wish they had a helper app that reads them article summaries.</p><p> The app, called NewsCast, hasn’t been formally announced, but it was first spotted by Neowin’s Brad Sams (http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-newscast-a-new-app-for-consuming-the-news-being-tested-internally). It takes in articles from around the web and starts reading summaries of them to users in an ongoing playlist. Users can save articles for reading later and view the full text of any article NewsCast pulls in using a built-in browser or a distraction-free reading view.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2971632/software-news/microsoft-tests-app-that-will-read-you-the-news.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Microsoft tests iOS app that will read you the news (http://www.macworld.com/article/2971632/software-news/microsoft-tests-app-that-will-read-you-the-news.html#tk.rss_all) |
