Translating a podcast into so many languages with two clicks increases our reach so much. Great stuff Wondercraft, keep it up

What voice is used in the translated version? Is it somehow inferred from the voice in the original language? Or I just have to choose the voice in the target language?

This looks great and exciting, congrats on the launch.

I am so happy that this exists, I was considering creating a podcast but it was too much effort involved and had to do and redo takes and other priorities.

Will be considering using Wondercraft and others if they exist entirely for this now.

I might have missed it on the site, but is there any plan for multiple voices on a single podcast? And any type of annotations to add emotion the voice (scared, excited, angry)?

Yeah you can have multiple voices on a single podcast in the current version.

You just need to add more than one section, and then alternate the voice you choose to talk.

Annotations for emotion are coming by the end of August.

Thanks @colesantiago - great to hear. That's what we're trying to solve, the effort behind creating a podcast is just too much right now and a lot of content remains confined in text format.

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. screenshot here: https://share.cleanshot.com/kmXRc3ng NOTE: using zoom "command +" is NOT the same and does not constitute a valid test for…
