iHear Network has developed an Android app that converts tweets to speech. The company, founded by Matt Fitzsimmons, Matthew Markus and Geoff Simons in February 2011, offers a free Android app that allows you to hear geotagged tweets (tweets that have been geographically identified or sorted) that have been converted to speech. Users can choose a city, state or country and hear what people are saying in that community in real time.
Fitzsimmons said the app has already been downloaded 10,000 times and the next release will include real-time chat capabilities, more location-based sources and photos. (An iPhone version is also in the works.) The company was one of six startups to present at the MIT Enterprise Forum of the Northwest’s Spring Northwest Startup DEMO last night.
