About time someone launched a product like this. The sunk cost of my read later list has annoyed me for years.

@joseph_davis6 let's turn sunk costs into elevated learning Joseph 💪

Recast is the most useful application of AI in my daily life. My read-later list became a bottomless source of anxiety years ago, and Recast solved it. Time-shifting + high quality audio queue + effective AI summarization = problem solved. Been using the beta for months and it's game changing. The iOS share sheet feature is the best. Congrats on the launch!

Does recast let listeners listen to paywalled content?
Adam Altman

@collin_caram Hi Collin, great question! Recast see what you see when you submit a track. So if you're signed in to a paywall when you submit an article, we'll be able to make you a track with that full content. If you're outside the paywall, then we'd only see the preview that you do. More broadly, it's important to state that Recast is meant to a friend of publishers and encourage more awareness of their brand and content value, so we'll always want to create a product that supports them thriving as Recast grows. Without publishers winning, there'd be no interesting content for us all to consume.

As I am more into audio content than reading, I believe it is going to be a very handy product for people like me.

@margret_rhyme Awesome! Let us know how we can make it even better for you!

Looking forward to this exact thing. Seems like I'm one of the few people that still has a commute, and this is exactly how I can get my daily download before I get into the office.

@frederickli Yes exactly! Commuting is a great way to make the best out of recast. Let us know how it goes.

After using this for a day, I can say this app will be part of my regular routine - especially to start the morning (I like to avoid screens as much as possible during the first hour) or while driving. The conversational script and transcript are a nice touch too :)

Recast caught my attention with its fresh perspective on voiceover optimization. The incorporation of AI and versatility across languages seems promising. Anxious to see its growth trajectory and user experiences.

Omg, this is the best product I have come across! I was always a movie person when someone asks "Books or Movies" because I don't like to read 😅. And I think this is the best thing I have came across. Congratulation 🥳 on the launch team and making my life easy 😁.

@nishi_bhavsar Glad we can help. And I can promise you, recast will make the "I don't want to read this" even worse. And bring the solution 😄
