I was trying to figure out an affordable way to send "Read Later" articles in voice to mobile device, either as podcast or other format, to keep myself relevant while driving to/from office.
I realized this tool might not be cheap, since it may take the voice actor/actress 2 hours per day to produce my content (2-hour driving commuting per day for me). To get familiar local accent, it costs ~$36 in Australia, and maybe slightly cheaper for US accent. The value it brings me can hardly justify the cost.
Now, with Polly, things changed - it produces reasonable voice, and 2-hour content would only cost ~$0.3. I decided to launch my service as soon as Instapaper approves my API request.

This alone is a killing point. If all the orders to the same company (location) are aggregated and shipped based on a predefined schedule (like every Monday).
And with this, pantry can be filled with food that people actually want.
