I love the selection of recasts I get every morning. I listen to 5 or 6 while starting my day and feel as enriched as if I had spent 10 times as long reading.
Love Recast been using since day one, awesome and the voices used are high quality and sounds like a natural interview makes long form easier to listen to.
The conversational, short format makes Recast enjoyable. Much better than word-for-word audio narration, which can quickly become tiring, especially long-form. I've been an early tester, and Recast's approach to audio consumption - via dialogue - is a more comfortable and familiar listening experience.
This is so useful that the pitch kinda writes itself! "Are you the type of person whose browser always has 50 tabs of unread articles that "you're going to get to soon"? Stop lying to yourself -- you like to listen, not to read."
Been using since early beta. The idea is genius & I'm very impressed with the voices - they're very real and pleasant to listen to actually. The killer feature for me is recasting my own articles. Though there is a growing library and recommendations that actually work quite well, I love recasting long-form articles that I find on social media or that my friends send me. Keep going strong & good luck with the launch!
I met @ekurutepe in Berlin while I was in town for a conference, and when he explained Recast to me, it immediately clicked. That same day, I downloaded the app and I've been using it regularly since. It was a great way to clear out the massive amount of open tabs I had on my iPhone's Chrome app, where I'd keep articles I'd planned on reading (but never did) Being able to turn that backlog into a queue of shortform audio that I can listen to whenever I'm biking somewhere has been a game-changer
This app is like magic! I've been using the beta for a few months now and I'm super impressed with the quality of experience Adam and his team have been able to deliver. I hope you all get to try it, Recast is the best!!!
I was fortunate enough to receive the beta version and have been testing for a few months. Amazing product and a huge time saver. Highly recommend!
