• Ask HN: Can a website kill my internet connection? (WebRTC)

  I have weird behavior when using https://zencastr.com/. The moment I join their videocall-room, my internet becomes super flacky, and drops entirely. My connection is via WiFi, and the WiFi stays connected and everything, but no connection to neither zencastr.com, fast.com, google.com works. The tool uses WebRTC for the call, hence I assume it might have something to do with that, but my assumption so far was... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• I’m trying to make a podcast with my Dad remotely

  Reason I am asking is because while Zoom can do what you ask, in the free version there is a limit to 45min. Instead I'd recommend https://zencastr.com/ which is designed for what you want to do. Source: about 1 year ago

• Huge boost in downloads after switching from Buzzsprout to Zencastr?

  At Zencastr we count downloads compliant with IAB standards. We are currently working on getting officially certified by a third-party and so we haven't included this in our marketing yet. If you send me the link to your show page on zencastr.com, we can take a look to see if anything weird might be going on. josh@zencastr.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• I’m not being brought back for season 2 of a podcast because “since we are switching to video format, we no longer need an audio editor”

  Zencastr is a good option For recording video and multi channel decent quality audio locally on a guest’s computer while using a voip service. Source: over 1 year ago

• I think we need simpler end-to-end tools. Anybody else had this issue?

  Zencastr.com and alitu.com do recording + hosting but lack website creation or any form of marketing. Source: over 1 year ago

• Launch HN: Wondercraft (YC S22) – Use text-to-speech to create podcasts easily

  Also https://audioread.com/. I love that you can forward emails to audioread and they'll be transcribed into podcasts. Thank you AI-voiced Matt Levine! - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• 0.2/article to listen on a podcast app a fair price?

  - I can charge based on number of words, or duration of converted audio, but I wanted to make it easier for my users, so I just charge base on number of article. And I also want to make it a peace of mind for users so I use one-off payment basis. Here are link to my product: https://sendtopod.com Would love to hear your thought on whether this is too expensive. And why do you think so? To put this on perspective:... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Bookmark an article, and listen to it later on your own Podcast Feed

  I also see AudioRead.com do this but text to speech is IMHO not pleasant enough to listen to for a long time. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Better and 8x Cheaper Text-to-Speech Than AWS

  Honestly, I'm super happy that you found one voice arguable better than AWS. I might argue, though, you might get used to our voices quickly once you start using it frequently. I've had this feedback before from someone who was very used to AWS's monotonous voice, and he actually changed his opinion after listening to a couple of articles. Previously, I built https://audioread.com which got me to talk to a bunch... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
