a smart phone demo was the best way to help our customers
visualise what is possible with Otodio,” said Simon Gall, Co-Founder
& Business Development Director. “Otodio can help publishers
develop a direct commercial relationship with their readers, as well
as addressing a younger, on-demand audience. It does this by
enabling printed content to be accessed easily in an audio format on digital portable devices whilst on the move and also through pod-casting.” |
