Architecture

• Node backend converts tweets to audio using OS X built in 'say' program. It then converts those to mp3 for web playback. mp3s are saved to S3 and their metadata are saved to custom Parse backend.

  API hosted at api.twhispr.com serves metadata info as a Parse service

  Express-powered front end at www.twhispr.com serves pages for Twitter Audio Cards API
