@michaelshoup Congrats on the launch, Michael! Podcraftr sounds like a fantastic tool for transforming text content into engaging podcasts—especially with features like voice cloning and professional production. I'm curious about how the voice cloning works. How much sample audio is needed to create a cloned voice, and what level of customization is available in terms of tone and style?

@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.

@michaelshoup hey this looks great! Does it work for multiple voices in 1 doc/podcast?

@michaelshoup @graeme_fulton right now, it's one voice per podcast, but multiple voices per podcast is on our roadmap! :)

Congrats on the launch, @michaelshoup! Podcraftr's ability to turn text into podcasts is a game-changer for content creators. I'm particularly intrigued by the voice cloning feature—how customizable is it? Can we adjust the tone and style to match different types of content? Looking forward to experimenting with this!

@renchu_song Thanks Richard! The voice cloning is pretty customizable, but a lot of it depends on the source you provide with your clone. The more range your source has, the broader range the AI will have, then we give you a toolset to tweak it. Podcraftr is pretty good a matching the tone in any given piece of content, but we're also working on features that will allow it to learn your style as you produce more content with it.

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!

@kyrylosilin Great question. The answer, as with most AI, is that the more you feed it, the better it performs. While we only “need” 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 “exaggeration” 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.

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!

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.

This looks really interesting! Is there different options for the tone of voice or language etc. ? Good luck with the launch!

@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.
