Bullet - Share captioned video snippets of podcasts from any app

Podcasts are hard to share because they are hard to immediately consume. Bullet lets you share captioned video snippets of your favourite podcasts from any podcast app so that your friends can immediately consume it.

@benjalimm super cool. Well executed and easy to use. I notice it worked with overcast but for some reason not with the apple podcast app. Any plans to allow different sizes for the videos (i.e. sharing for instagram etc).
Benjamin Lim
@unmistakableceo Hey, thanks for letting us know. Apologies for the error! Would you be able to pass me the Apple podcast link? In regard to the different sizes - We are working on vertical video support right now!
John Espino
@benjalimm Great product idea! Do you have a list of podcast apps you currently support? Pocket Casts or Overcast does not work. :(
Benjamin Lim
@jkspn Hey John. It should definitely work in Pocket Cast + Overcast. What podcast are you trying to snip?
John Espino
@benjalimm I tried it just now, but it didn't work. It's Dialog (Federico Viticci and John Voorhees). Here's the link: https://pca.st/episode/feec9362-...

@jkspn Thank you so much for letting us know John. Sorry about this, the inference feature is new and is going to take a lot of work. Will get back to you ASAP
John Espino

@benjalimm Stoked to try this out!
Benjamin Lim
@espreedevora Please let me know how you go. Email me at ben@bullet.audio if there are any errors / anything I can help with!

Interesting. Was this inspired by Overcast? https://marco.org/2019/04/27/ove...
Benjamin Lim
Hey @alflee, perhaps partially with some elements of the UI? Since we're focused on the problem with the inability to skim podcasts, building a snippet tool without captions wouldn't really solve it at all.

Hi, the product is awesome! I have two questions: 1. how to get the caption? is it a kind of paid service or free voice recognition service? 2. Can it support other languages like Chinese? Thanks!!
Benjamin Lim
@zhao_li1 There are options for both, you could run your model as well. It technically could but we might not do that for a little while. Thanks!

Tried this app today with a Stitcher podcast and it just hung. Never finished processing the clip. I was excited to use it, though! Ended up just sharing the link in a tweet: https://twitter.com/fosteronomo/...
Benjamin Lim
@fosteronomo So sorry Dan! We're still trying to support Stitcher, we're on it!

Was a big fan of this app when it initially came out, but for the past month, it keeps crashing whilst extracting audio.. both on apple podcast and spotify.
Benjamin Lim
@a_ri Hey Ari. I'm so sorry for the errors. We're collecting extensive data to try to solve this. Would you be able to DM me the links you have tried that are failing? I would really appreciate that.

@benjalimm Hi, here is the link that we have tried - https://open.spotify.com/episode... More than happy to screen record the crash. On iphone xr (12.4.1)
Benjamin Lim
@a_ri Thank you so much Ri! Looking into it ASAP
