Great app! I love that it helps still consume content I'm interested while getting me away from staring at screens. The voices are surprisingly good, too. Only thing that could improve is the time it takes to generate a recast. Sometimes I want to get an article ready just before I go on a drive. I think faster processing is a pro feature so I'll check that out.

@bjoern2000 great feedback Björn, we're definitely take performance as something we can build on! Processing time might also depends on the complexity and/or length of the converted content though, which might require that extra time to ensure the voices are as good as possible :)

Just subscribed to their pro features, and am very impressed so far! I have most enjoyed the discover function as it has often led me to interesting articles and topics/issues outside of my normal sphere that I would otherwise not have had on my radar. In the few months I’ve been using the app, I can also appreciate the many upgrades and improvements developers are consistently delivering to elevate the experience. Overall very impressed!

Congratulations on the launch of Recast's AI app on Product Hunt! The features you've packed into this product are incredibly thoughtful. Listening to articles as short podcasts will surely change the way many of us consume information. I love the community aspect and the way it facilitates learning on the go. The ability to save reading and screen time is exactly what we need in this fast-paced world. Can't wait to explore it further. Great job, team!

I just wish the ai will have the option if the recasted audio is a story or article just to improve the experience.

Congrats on the launch! It becomes harder and harder to find enough time for reading all those interesting things in the net, so your solution is definitely useful!

@lucky_art_21 cant' wait to hear your experience with it Irina!

Cool! I often forget to read deferred articles :) I have an idea for you: Your algorithms are already analyzing the flow of information. I would like to be able to ask them to notify me of something when it appears. For example, I would like to know that scientists have discovered new signs of life on Mars. The application could tell me about it when such an article appears. That is, it is a delayed reading of what has not yet happened. Good luck @a18n!

@a18n @wwwictor thank you! We are already thinking along these lines. There will be more features coming to address this.
