Anchor Videos - Magically transform audio to video and share it anywhere

Hey, Product Hunt! One of the things we've been hearing from audio content creators since the day we started Anchor was that audio is hard to share on social media. Most major social platforms don't yet have native support for audio, so trying to raise awareness for your podcast or other audio content on social can be difficult. So we built a new tool inside of Anchor that makes sharing audio to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube - or anywhere else videos are consumed - incredibly easy. First, just record audio directly into the Anchor app, or upload existing audio (a clip from your podcast, etc) to your Anchor account. Anchor Videos will then magically transcribe your audio. You can quickly fix any minor transcription issues and Anchor Videos will overlay your words synced perfectly with your audio in a beautiful, shareable video. Best of all, you can export your video at whatever size you need: square (perfect for Instagram), wide (perfect for Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube), and tall (perfect for Instagram Stories). It's that easy. We've been beta testing this feature for a few months now, with both casual Anchor creators and some of the biggest podcasters in the world. Here are a few examples: Pod Save America (by Crooked Media): https://twitter.com/PodSaveAmeri... The Outline: https://twitter.com/anchor/statu...

This is incredible

Love this! Sharing audio on social has been notoriously difficult, while video has been the media format of choice across all the major platforms of late. Giving people the ability to easily convert audio to video while transcribing the text makes perfect sense... Here's an example of what Pod Save America looks like as a video using Anchor: https://twitter.com/PodSaveAmeri...

THIS is amazing. Personally, as a writer, I'm a HUGE fan of Anchor. When I have half-baked ideas and don't have my computer in front of me, I use Anchor to crystallize my thoughts, feelings, and views. I also love the community aspect and the production simplicity of Anchor. I can call-in to my friends and find cool strangers who look awesome and have interesting conversations - that actually sound pleasant enough to listen to. I can't wait to use this video feature. I believe Anchor is to audio what Medium is to writing, Instagram is to photos, and YouTube is to videos. I predict it will catch on like wildfire. Best of luck @mignano and the @anchor team!

Another day, another interesting feature. Team Anchor is incredible! @mayafish What audio transcription service are you using?

This looks really promising as a way to share audiograms across the web! Does this work on anchor.fm/clip? I have a long-form podcast (soundcloud.com/exvangelical-podcast) that I'd love to extract clips of.

Stellar work team @anchor! I love how far you are raising the bar in making tools for audio creators so accessible and powerful. Keep killing it!

This looks very promising. I'll definitely give this a try. I like how the video looks pleasant to look at, and some randomly put together visuals. I'm wondering tough if this app actually transcribes what you record or if you have to manually transcribe your audio? If this is done automatically, that's a huge selling point that I don't see advertised on the site. What I do love about it is that this is PERF for social media. I can see how it will engage users. Great product!

Wow, love this. Anchor team is killing it!

Text transcribing is the killer feature. Nice.
