The Post last July made all of its articles available in audio form on Android and Apple mobile devices. This was enabled by in-built Android and iOS text-to-speech technology. Going forward, where Polly audio is available for articles, it will replace Android and iOS text-to-speech functionality.
Alongside the roll-out of Polly, the Post will be working on a number of new features to improve its audio offering, according to Kat Downs Mulder, the title’s managing editor for digital. In an interview with Press Gazette, she told how the Post’s audience could soon be able to listen to content from newspaper front pages and compile playlists of articles.

MOBILE NETWORK operator Globe Telecom, Inc. has successfully transferred on Monday the bulk of its technology infrastructure to cloud service provider Amazon Web Systems, Inc. (AWS), in a bid to accelerate the former’s digital transformation and improve customer experience.
AWS is a subsidiary of American multinational technology company Amazon.
In a statement, Globe said that it was able to migrate its contact center operations, customer analytics, network and service assurance systems, infrastructure operations, monitoring, and security, from its on-premises data centers to AWS. It added that it continues to transfer applications to AWS to modernize its infrastructure and services. Although he did not give the exact percentage of the infrastructure that was moved to AWS, Globe’s Chief Information officer Carlomagno E. Malana told reporters in a Monday press briefing that there was “definitely a clear majority.”

To hasten its digital transformation, Globe Telecom Inc. has moved the bulk of its technology infrastructure to Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.
By leveraging AWS, Globe is reducing the time required to provision new infrastructure resources from more than two months to less than two days, increasing app performance 15 times and reducing its infrastructure maintenance and operation costs by 30 per cent.
AWS, an Amazon.com company, made the announcement today (Dec. 14).
Globe now draws on AWS’ portfolio of cloud services, including compute, databases, analytics, machine learning and customer engagement, to connect more communities to the internet enabling them access to digital finance, healthcare and education services.
