@devindsgbyq Thanks Devin! We currently partner with ElevenLabs for our voice cloning features, so they are extremely lifelike even at a small sample size. We intend to offer Professional Voice cloning in the future as well.
Graeme
@michaelshoup hey this looks great! Does it work for multiple voices in 1 doc/podcast?
Paul Shearer
@michaelshoup @graeme_fulton right now, it's one voice per podcast, but multiple voices per podcast is on our roadmap! :)
Ben Williams
Congrats on the launch @michaelshoup , I’m looking forward to using Podcraftr more as I relaunch my audio newsletter.
Michael Shoup
@plgeek Love seeing you here, Ben! Thanks for the support, and we'd love to help you relaunch your audio newsletter with such a dulcet voice!

This is great, I don't how podcasts still keep growing but I love them so I can't complain. Also, it's great monetization is built in from day one.
Michael Shoup
@userinsite As long as people have time to listen, podcasts will keep growing :)
Florian (Flo) Pariset
Good luck, man! I hope you see more traction than one of my products, read-this.ai. I was considering this pivot but decided to focus my energy on notis.ai, so I'm curious how this turns out! I think it's a fantastic idea.
Michael Shoup
@mindtheflo Thanks Flo! Love what you did with read-this as I have the exact same desire to listen to most of my information (aural learner). We're hoping Podcraftr can focus more heavily on our distribution and monetization while still making it simple for the user to produce the content on the front end. Appreciate your support!
Olivia Jane Mitchell
I like how Podcraftr makes turning text into podcasts so seamless. The idea of cloning your voice for that personal touch is awesome.
Michael Shoup
@oliviajanemitchell Thanks Olivia
Rowan Barlow Stainsby
This looks really interesting! Is there different options for the tone of voice or language etc. ? Good luck with the launch!
Michael Shoup
@rowanbarlowstainsby Great question - we do currently have quite a number of stock voice options along with the ability to clone your voice. We have yet to add native accents outside of English to our stock library but plan to very soon depending on which accents customers ask for.
Shushant Lakhyani
Wow, now creating podcasts will be so easy
Michael Shoup
@shushant_lakhyani Now people can put their focus on making the content engaging instead of all the production aspects.

Podcaftr is a really cool idea. I can see this being especially helpful for sales training - new reps can go over their theory at any time. Congrats!
Michael Shoup
@alexandra_describy You got it Alexandra!
Lwanda Mhlongo
Love the idea of being able to clone your own voice. Will for sure give it a try! Ps Congrats on the launch, wishing you all the best Michael!πŸ”₯
Michael Shoup
@lwanda_mhlongo Thanks Lwanda! We want the content Podcraftr produces to help amplify the human behind it, and their unique voice is a big part of that!
Tanmay Parekh
All the best for the launch @michaelshoup

Congrats on the launch. This is hands down the best newsletter to podcast platform in the market.
Michael Shoup
@fiscalcliffw Always appreciate the support, Cliff! What you're doing with Cliff Notes is so helpful for the AI space, and we love having you on the platform.

This is a useful app to launch a podcast. I use it regularly. definitely take a look
Jami Couch
@nonprofit_neil Awesome, hope you're able to make use of it!
Michael Shoup
@nonprofit_neil Always love seeing what you're producing with Podcraftr, Neil! Thanks for the support.

The idea of turning text into high-quality podcasts with just a few clicks is revolutionary. I can already imagine my blog posts suddenly coming to life in audio form. The voice cloning feature sounds fascinatingβ€”can’t wait to hear my own dulcet tones broadcasting to the world! Also, the dynamic ad placements could provide a nice ROI while we’re at it. The ability to distribute to all major platforms in under 5 minutes feels like the ultimate growth hack. The creativity of your users must be off the charts, especially with that daily Product Hunt podcast! Excited to see where Podcraftr takes the podcasting scene. Let’s get those audio waves rolling! πŸš€
Michael Shoup
@dance17219 Thanks Bryan! Excited to see what you can create.
Noora Mccluskey
The idea of turning written content into podcasts with minimal effort is something that many content creators will find useful
Michael Shoup
@noora_mccluskey We think so too. How would you consider using it?
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Michael, This is such an interesting concept for content repurposing! How accurate is it in replicating the original speaker's tone and inflections? For those of us who might be new to podcasting, do you offer any guidance on optimal content length or structure for maximum engagement? Congrats on the launch!
Michael Shoup
@kyrylosilin Great question. The answer, as with most AI, is that the more you feed it, the better it performs. While we only β€œneed” 1 minute of audio to create a voice clone, if you feed us more, Podcraftr will pick up on the specifics of the voice much better. You can also tweak an β€œexaggeration” setting to lean in more or less heavily to those unique properties. As for educating those newer to podcasting, I think that’s a great idea - like a Podcraftr Academy. Our LLM however does a pretty good job at taking content not formatted for a podcast and turning into into podcast form using best practices for intros, outros, and timing.
Antoine Gauthier
This sounds really interesting, Michael! I'm curious, how does the voice cloning actually work? Is it easy to get started with minimal tech skills? πŸ€”
Michael Shoup
@antoine_gauthier_ Super easy - just record yourself speaking in app, paste in your content, and hit submit. We do all the heavy lifting.
Javi Fedez
I love the idea of Podcraftr, do you plan to include more languages? spanish? :D it will be awesome
Michael Shoup
@javi_fedez Thanks Javi! We've actually been quietly including multilingual abilities behind the scenes! If you send in Spanish, you should (in general) get Spanish back, both in your transcript and the accent from the speaker. Some speakers have a more natural accent than others, so we're looking to add more native speaking voices as well!
Rigel Cunningham
The ability to automatically distribute and monetize podcasts from existing text content is a fantastic feature
Michael Shoup
@rigel_cunningham Thanks Rigel! It's like creating a whole new revenue stream from already existing content.
