ReadCast

A platform that converts articles from the web into your own personal podcast. Guess what, we can do it automatically too!

I’ve taken the decision to shut down signups for the time being.

@_JCobb Thanks for the nice words!

For some context:

ReadCast is a platform that allows you to save/bookmark articles for later.

We’ll then convert the articles to audio and you can listen to it in your favourite podcasting app (or our web app)

🔼 And we believe that Subscriptions increase the overall value of ReadCast compared to our competitors.

The plan for the next few months is to work on fixing bugs, introducing new subscription types. Hopefully this will be a fun ride! 🎢

[ReadCast @readcastapp]

We've just changed our pricing! ReadCast is now £6 a month instead of £4.99. 💰

Although, all existing customers will continue to pay £4.99. This price change only applies to new subscriptions.

🔼 When we started out in March of last year, we only provided basic article to audio and importing services.

Now we offer subscriptions, a service which AUTOMATICALLY saves articles from RSS feeds, Medium profiles or your Pocket account.

Hopefully it won't cause any podcast players to go mad.

🔥 Every mp3 ReadCast produces will now be served from https://t.co/3GRbQtdz9L. Because, why not?

Me: Oh, interesting article. I should read this.
Me: But... I'm too lazy... I'm never going to actually read it.
@readcastapp: Shall I?
Me: Oh _please_. Thanks! 🙏

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🎅

[ReadCast @readcastapp]

We have finally resolved this issue. We were loosely comparing the date against the last updated date for feed based subscriptions (RSS & Medium). Everything has been fixed now. We're sorry for any issues.

Our backend clean up process is still running but we've removed maintenance mode from the web application which means it should be accessible now. However, some parts of the site may be slower than normal.

[ReadCast @readcastapp]

We've taken the web application down for some backend clean up. Podcast feeds are still working. Everything should be back online shortly.

[ReadCast @readcastapp]

We're turning off our subscriptions feature until further notice. Sorry!

[ReadCast @readcastapp]

Sadly, we've had to remove Wavenet voices from ReadCast. For the time being, we're going back to voices from Microsoft Azure. Not the same quality but they'll get the job done.

Sorry everyone!
