txtpod turns articles into podcast episodes. Save a link and the narrated audio version appears in a private RSS feed for Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocket Casts. 30+ voices, 20+ languages, auto translate, summaries & more.
Hello everyone, the maker here. I want to give you some context about this app :)
I live in my podcast player, but my read-later lists kept growing and never got cleared. I wanted a simple pipe from web → audio → the podcast player I already use. That’s why I built txtpod.
txtpod turns public article links into narrated episodes and publishes them to your unique private RSS feed, so they show up in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, or Pocket Casts like any other show. If you prefer, you can also listen in-app with a full player like any other read later app.
Highlights:
• 30+ natural voices across 20+ languages, with auto-translate and optional summaries
• Per-episode controls for voice, speed, and language
• Private RSS feed for your podcast app; offline downloads just work
• Integrations with Instapaper, Readwise, and Matter; share-sheet saving
• Feed customization (title, cover, colors), stats, and listening streaks
What makes it different: txtpod isn’t another read-later list or a new TTS player. It delivers articles where you already listen, which helps prevent the “saved but never read” pileup.
Pricing: free download and first 5 audios for free. After that $39/year with a launch promo $19 for a limited time. For context, similar read later services are up to $70 per year.
I’d love thoughts on the workflow, edge cases you want supported, and any integrations you rely on.
