Its voice menu distinguishes ordinary Mandarin from Northeastern Mandarin, Cantonese, and Taiwanese Mandarin, alongside US English voices. Results are described as available for browser playback and MP3 download, while the personal shelf groups saved items by webpage, text, document, and RSS source. A generated private RSS feed is intended to carry new audio into a podcast client.
