Phonifier: easy mobile access to web content

Having trouble reading pages on your mobile device? (You may not have the best mobile browser.) Try Phonifier … from what I can see, this service strips down the page to a very clean, feed-like quality — just text, links and the key images. What I want. Go to Phonifier, add your target URL…enjoy.

Sample this Phonifier-ized post by the Home Office Lawyer to get an idea of how a post renders via Phonifier.

What I like about Phonifier: it strips away much of the busy-ness of many sites, and it stays with you (ie, when you click to the next link, you stay “Phonified”, much like the way Google Reader rendering stays with you on a mobile).

What I really like about Phonifier: let’s say I was traveling the last two weekends and I convinced Mrs. KansasBusinessAttorney to drive a couple legs of the trips; let’s say I used the data connection on my AT&T 8525 as a modem for my laptop to get connectivity; but suppose I was out where most of the population wasn’t (ie, not the greatest connection) — Phonified was/is the perfect alternative to easily push even your laptop to render only what you want and not what you don’t care to see (or wait for). Who knows … maybe I could get hooked on a clean internet.

Bottom line: Phonifier is for mobile, but rebel, rebel … try it on a desktop/laptop.
