I am a regular listener of the podcast "Hacker News Recap" (linked in the post description) and I always doubt if that's a real human reading the script. It is not a simple text-to-speech thing. Instead, it feels like a real human talking, with real emotion in it. I am already in love with Anna, the voice behind the HN Recap podcast! Also I played around with their podcast generation tool, where it neatly built a pod…

Thanks for listening @vishnuharidas! Any feedback always welcome and if you want more languages let us know which ones.

Not sure if I'm just not seeing it, but I can't find any information on pricing, or whether there's a free tier? (there's a "start for free" button, but that could mean anything, and it wants me to create an account)

There's a pricing link at the top of the page, we should probably try to make this more visible: https://www.wondercraft.ai/pricing

You have an accessibility issue involving large fonts that makes the pricing impossible to see. To replicate set your font size to 20 and minimum font size to 18. Should have the same effect in both FF and Chrome. Note that that's not even very big as far as low vision needs go.

NOTE: using zoom "command +" is NOT the same and does not constitute a valid test for this.
