Portable RSVP

I just read a Boing Boing post about a new RSVP reader application for cell phones called Monket. A similar application for Smartphones has been around for a while, but Monket has the added advantage of being open source.

It’s nice to see the new developments in RSVP readers; however, my fascination with RSVP has waned a bit lately. Instead, I’ve been using text-to-speech software to mainline information. I use the freeware version of ReadPlease 2003, piped through a single earbud to listen to long text documents. It’s also quite handy for proofreading my own writing. The advantage of text-to-speech over RSVP is that your eyes are freed up to do other things.
