Castmagic reviews

I initially purchased Castmagic because I wanted to extract the golden nuggets from my podcast. It's turned into a tool that's useful on different levels of my business:
- I've used to get transcripts of my students' recorded speaking activities (I teach English as a second language)
- I've used to create lessons based on Youtube videos
- And now I intend to use to create short form videos / audiograms

I feel the team has been really smart about the way they've made the product evolve.

It's REALLY becoming an essential part of my workflow. Highly recommend it.

the main ability around YOUR uploads and running AI content prompting against YOUR uploads works great! the outputs are good for your blog, posts, and so on.

what doesnt work is the youtube link trying to fetch other people's content. i tried multiple youtube videos. it bombs out on a 15 minute youtube link and then takes your minutes away after erroring out with RED indicator (or no output at all without an error indicator). I've had two different experiences with the youtube links.

thats a bit disappointing to see it still doesnt work since the Sumo campaign. however, i dont think i will be using it for tha . i have another app for fetching and summarizing and prompting other content out there.

i am mainly going to use the core of CastMagic with uploading my own content rather than fetching content which is where CastMagic seems to shine. including the iphone app in beta that I just tried. it uploads fine, then i can generate content off it which is amazing!

It took me a while to start using it, hence the late review, but this tool is amazing! What a time saver. It's like having a team of VAs.
Getting a transcript of recordings is already great. But the click of a button AI content is tremendous. The quality of the AI content responses is excellent. The magic chat content seems more prone to typical ChatGPT fails, but it's still a great option to have. I also *really* appreciate that there is a slack community for support. I may not use it much yet, but I will be soon and love the fact that I have access to it when I do.
I hope this deal comes back for the sake of my friends who didn't get it and now regret it.
One of my best Appsumo deals.

As a podcaster for 8 years, Castmagic has become INVALUABLE at helping me transcribe my back catalog. It's worked even better than Descript at identifying multiple speakers AND breaking them at the right time (Descript has a habit of assigning the last couple of words from one speaker to the next speaker). The interface has improved a lot, and I have barely even TOUCHED the Studio feature, but I 100% plan to in a couple months, when I'm going to need short clips and other things.

The AI content section has some terrific default options, with Clip Finder, a Chapter generator, and the social media bits (the Tweet threads are great) my favorite.

Honestly, I'm wishing I had gotten the highest tier when it was available. But so glad I got in on it when I did! Can't recommend it enough

CastMagic is one of those gems. I use it weekly to generate key topics and summaries from business meetings. Features like custom prompts also make it fun. Sharing information/details from presentations, briefings, etc., with partners has become so much easier.

Overall I love the speed of transcription. Not too thrilled with the titles and AI content so I mostly use the fast transcript and paste that into chapter for all my other needs. Still a great value though!

As a podcaster, the struggle to manage all aspects of your podcast can be overwhelming at times. From editing to publishing, scheduling interviews, and promoting episodes, the to-do list seems never-ending. Enter CastMagic, a tool that has quickly become my go-to solution for streamlining my podcast workflow.

Let me tell you, CastMagic is not just another app; it's like having a podcasting genie at your service. With its intuitive interface and seamless functionality, I've been able to breeze through tasks that used to eat up hours of my time. From editing out awkward pauses to adding in professional-grade effects, CastMagic has truly revolutionized my podcast production process.

As someone who regularly produces podcasts, the challenge has always been how to repurpose audio content for social media efficiently. I purchased Castmagic on Appsumo, and that challenge was removed!

The user-friendly tool makes it simple to convert our podcast episodes into ready-to-publish social media posts and detailed transcriptions. Some editing is needed but with any AI content, you should add your personal touch before publishing.

The conversion speed is good and has gotten faster recently. Castmagic is a tool we use weekly and makes things easier.

I've tested this out on ten episodes of my podcast and it is just not good. I wanted really bad to like this and use it which is why I have it several months but it has not improved.

The AI constantly mixes up guests, misquotes, mislabels the speaker (even with M&F voices).
The titles it produces are weird and generic.
The Bios are always wrong, even with repeat guests.
The Introductions it writes are ridiculous- seriously, you've listened to me speak for 15 hours and you think that's how I talk?
The Quotes, Hooks & Timestamps pick up in the middle of a sentence so it doesn't make any sense.
The Reel Scripts are more nonsense. "Hey Instagram Entrepreneurs!" (It's a sports show)

The Timestamps improved on the 10th try. Before that it would timestamp nearly every sentence.

At most I get a few sentences that are useful to me and that's not worth it to upload and sort through the word salad. My time would be better spent just writing the sentences myself.

I'm going to stop using it now. Hopefully the Castmagic team improves the product for others.

I bought the top lifetime deal and I am pleased with the support I received. I got all of my codes stacked without delay. Additionally, I had an issue with processing and they took care of the issue within 12 hours. The team is kind, open to suggestions, and wants to succeed.

Having experimented with numerous podcasting tools, Castmagic truly stands out! This AI-driven platform is nothing short of a revolution, turning lengthy audio into engaging content in mere minutes. Beyond just podcasting, its applications stretch to YouTube videos, coaching calls, and even marketing needs, making it a true ally for diverse content creators. The user-friendly interface, accurate transcriptions, and invaluable Magic Chat for promotional content creation are just the tip of the iceberg. With features like autogenerated key points, show notes, and social media snippets, it's a game changer! In a world where time is gold, Castmagic saves over 20 hours weekly, letting us focus on delivering high-quality content.

Great quality transcript produced and super easy editing. Play along sound as you read the transcript only highlights how great the transcript is.
