In an era when news stories are created almost as quickly as they are consumed, readers are still squinting to see the stories on their mobile devices.

Today, Wibbitz has released an iOS application that automatically converts text articles into mobile-friendly video summaries right before their eyes.

Co-founders Yotam Cohen and Zohar Dayan spent two years developing the technology, which extracts the highlights from the original text, converts the text into speech, and then merges the story with images, video clips, and infographics to create packaged video summaries that are optimized for a mobile experience.

Dayan said the product eliminates the “tapping and zooming in and out” to make it “easy and fun to finally enjoy the content again, rather than fiddle with it to make it fit to the screen.”
