Exceptional tool and value
I am using Fliki predominantly as a way to bring website content to podcasts. I was not aware of this technology until recently, and I think it's remarkable.
Fliki offers the best value I've seen in this space. By the end of the year, I'll be running about 15 websites, with plans to create 11 podcast shows.
Other competitors in this space in the lifetime-deal arena require multiple licenses, and this can get very expensive.
As it turns out, 30,000 words a month is about right for my needs, and Fliki, for $198, allows me to create unlimited podcast shows and episodes. I am grateful! :)
The voice range here is extraordinary, and it's awesome to be able to choose tones such as friendly and excited. I hope to be able to preselect a voice tone and have it carry throughout all the podcast blocks to save time.
I like the ability to insert opening and closing music as well as have background music. It would be cool to have opening music extend into the first, second or even third text blocks, with lowered volume present, so that the words are sitting on top of this lowered-in-volume music. Same idea with the closing music, too.
I really like Fliki, and I've barely scratched the surface of its powers.
I can see the team is working hard on improving it, and I'd like to share some more suggestions:
• Please increase the character limit for podcast episode titles
• Please include some sort of signal letting users know when podcast audio (possibly all audio) is "rendered." It can take some time, and I initially refunded over this before giving it another shot. I'm glad I did.
• I have had some mixed results when teaching Fliki to pronounce an unusual word. In some podcast episodes, it's worked beautifully, getting it right every time, but, in others, this word is correctly pronounced only some of the time. I don't understand why. Perhaps, with some fine-tuning, this can be perfected. Perhaps this is an issue depending on the audio rendering time. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough.
• Please fix the embed issue affecting placement on WordPress Gutenberg and Elementor pages. Everything on the page goes missing once the iframe is embedded.
• Please allow for importation of website content via URL in addition to copying and pasting text.
• If text and voice are changed in a podcast episode, it is unclear whether and when these changes are carried over into actual podcasts on Spotify, for example. I imagine that changes would be updated. Perhaps some clarity here will help people, especially those new to podcasts.
I can't wait to play with Fliki more and am grateful to the team for an awesome service and generous AppSumo offer!
Bravo, bravo! :)
