Shordio helps bring the voices of journalists, bloggers, and storytellers – or any other short-form written content creator – directly to their audience. With Shordio, there is something for everyone. For content creators and publishers... You know how hard it is for your work to be seen amidst all the other content available in the world today so give your audience another way: let them hear you. You wrote the words and you’re the most passionate advocate for them, so go ahead and say them too. And don't worry, the recordings don’t have to be perfect. The organic quality makes them – and you – authentic and relatable. You can record on our app or through another device (like the iPhone recorder) and embed a link right on your own page so users don’t have to visit Shordio to find it. For consumers... You're constantly on the move with a million things to do and don’t always have the time to read great content. So why not listen to it instead? And not just listen to anyone read it, but listen to the creators themselves read their work. Our interface is simple, straightforward, and intuitive for everyone. No text-to-audio translators here. Real people, real voices. Shordio uses real intelligence, nothing artificial.
