A useful tool with new features or improvements regularly made

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.

One of my best appsumo purchases!

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.

Huge, Huge Fan!

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 a GEM!

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.

Pretty good. But I still use ChatGPT in combination with it

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!
