Description

More you want to read online than you could ever find time for?
Introducing Recast - the AI-powered app that converts online articles, blogs, and essays into concise and easy-to-absorb audio explainers you can listen to on the go. With Recast, you'll save time while staying informed and learning new things.
How it works:
* Submit articles you want to be converted to recasts
* Browse recasts that other users have submitted
* Listen to concise and engaging audio summaries of any topic
Recast solves several problems for those who are high on curiosity and low on time, overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content out there.
Other apps that try to help you consume news as audio tend to read out the article text verbatim. We don't think this is very easy to absorb. That's why Recast uses AI to condense the key context and takeaways of an article into just a few minutes of friendly and conversational audio.
With Recast, you'll discover great new content and submit your own. It's perfect for people who already listen to podcasts or audiobooks and want to stay informed and learn new things without sacrificing time from their busy lives.
Download Recast today and start recasting your favorite articles into informative audio summaries.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL ‼️

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL ‼️

Buggy

Scheduled post don’t post. ☹️ on

United States

It doesn’t seem to work that well. I feel like I am forever encountering bugs that either don’t create the recast or gives me error messages.

The free version is simply an annoyance

Without a subscription you can pick or search your articles. Just what I want cluttering my phone an that feeds lots of content that I don’t want.

Unuseable

Subscribed for the 7 day Pro trial. Kept telling me I needed to be a pro subscriber or the recast would just fail. Tried multiple sources. I’ll stick with Matter or Readwise.

Frustrating to use

I read about Recast and was excited to give it a try. I immediately downloaded and tried sharing some articles I had written… failed nothing happened. It just coughed on them. I gave up. The user interface really is confusing and I was not getting app feedback to what I was trying to do. Found out later in an email from them that it’s was because some platforms are considered premium. Ok great… do fix your app so it tells you that. Don’t email me separately about it. Finally, I did try again after I found out about the premium deal so I submitted some articles to it that were supported. The recast feature itself really appeared to be a playback text to speech. Not a discussion. I was disappointed. I thought it world be more than text to speech.

5 star service, 1 star app

The service itself is awesome, and the pro features are worth the cost, especially if you’re using it to learn a lot of new information related to your career, which is what I’m doing. I’m really hoping they expand to PDF’s soon, which would make it even more valuable. The app, however, is currently hot trash. I’m using the latest model iPhone and iOS versions, but still, while listening to one thing, I can’t do anything (remove, archive, view transcript, change to another recast, etc). I’m really hoping this is addressed soon in app updates!

Game Changer

Get the premium and then listen to the most dense prose as a quick conversation between authors.

Very buggy. Still not working on any device or browser after many, many attempts

I have been able to get this to work

What a great app!

I LOVE Recast! Yesterday as I prepared lunch I “read” 14 technical articles on science topics and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found myself paying much better attention to the article because it was presented as a dialogue. The voices are really good; you can even hear the “breathing” of the “hosts” as they dialogue. This app has lots of promise. Try it! You’ll love it too!

It Crash as soon as get opened.
