This is awesome, the voice is almost as natural as it sounds which is good for listening.

OMG that instructions video is just on point! Absolutely love your design language @arto_yeritsyan. I really how it helps me multitask and listen to my news articles while working on other things. How did you come up with the idea? And how do you plan to scale this out?

@rish154 Thanks for the good questions! During the hustle of daily work, I always wanted to be able to be up-to-speed with news specifically in tech and also read Medium articles, but with my schedule, it was almost impossible, So basically I created the simpler version of this just for me, and than it expands to something more. For the longterm, we want to power everyone to have their voice heard without any barriers!

@arto_yeritsyan Sounds amazing! For the future, might be nice to consider a shazam like feature wherein if someone is listening to Podcastle AI, i can tell what it is and if i want to listen to it - or even share what i am listening to. Just a thought :)

I love it! Comes really handy, thank you 🙏 Only thing is… that » "Another podcast is in progress. Are you sure you want proceed?" prompt is pretty annoying if you want to listen several articles in a row. Since podcastle is so quick with generation, this prompt is totally unnecessary. ✌

This is awesome! A few suggestions: 1. Robo voice will be an issue. Onboard human voices and charge a premium (Audible.com model). 2. This tool makes every article more accessible. Collaborate with the visually impaired community. All of their text-to-speech readers currently sound robotic; if you add a human voice, you'll be an instant improvement for their audience. 3. The true value prop is listening to this at the gym, or doing something passive. Your homepage markets it as "at the office" being #1. 4. Auto-scrape highly-engaged articles across the web and upload them to your homepage = content discovery for your audience. >>> Allow people to submit their own articles as well.

@arto_yeritsyan there are definitely some situations when one is busy with smth and can't read, but still can absorb any information while listening. from my own experience - when I am making breakfast I can listen but it's not comfortable to read. in similar situations podcasle is very very useful for me.

@artashes_vardanian Thanks, that is exactly what we are trying to solve.
