		<description>Hi Robin,
thank you for trying Dixero and talk about it.

Unfortunately, with TTS time needed to improve quality isn&#039;t the same you would imagine in other services, we are working hard and we&#039;ll probably need some more time to do it. As we know that for users quality improvements are the first issue to face, we are now building a 12-months plan totally focused on how to reach the minimum level they need and then increase it, and founds we just raised will be invested on it.

In fact, the first thing we have done is introducing new voices our developers are working on. Right now we&#039;re implementing them and checking their quality, so brand new voices will be available in about two weeks, firstly on new channels, then on all of them.

About where and how to use Dixero, we suggest at each presentation we do to use it in the idle time, waiting the bus, driving the car, doing jogging, doing homeworks... But in fact we still don&#039;t know how people like to use it or if they found sort of usefulness in a way we don&#039;t expect, we&#039;d really like to know it and maybe find a good way to exchange suggestions between users. 

As you actually don&#039;t find an added value that let you think Dixero is the service you&#039;d like to use, what do you expect from it? In other words, what can you suggest us (if you want to suggest something, of course :) ) to be closer to what you really need?

Thank you :)

ps, we&#039;re based in Lugano, not in Zürich :)</description>

		<description>@Allen yeah, you&#039;d better apologize! ;)

@Patrick very good points, I wonder why Dixero doesn&#039;t mention that type of usage anywhere on their own website.</description>

		<description>I can see value in it for specific interests. I created a channel with some feeds about marketing and lifehacking, blogs I normally do not have enough time for to read. I&#039;m going to try dixero while in the gym.

Furthermore this is a must have service for anyone who has difficulties with reading or can&#039;t see at all.

I&#039;m curious about the quality of it.</description>
