Makes creating podcasts easy
Lazybird uses your scripts (dialogues) to create voiceovers. The voiceovers can be one or more persons, though I only created two-person podcasts, a host and a guest.
Using the CSV template, I could quickly load the script I created from a book using AI. After uploading, getting the podcast ready takes only a couple of minutes.
There are quite a few voices with different accents. Some are multilingual, and scripts can be translated into any language with a click of a button. The voices are good enough for a podcast, but not yet the best voices around.
The app has some room for development. The documentation is not enough. For example, I could not find information on the style setting mentioned in the sample CSV: which styles are available to use in a conversation.
You can add background music, which would be an excellent feature if you could adjust the music. There is no opportunity to fade in and fade out; you have to cut the music abruptly at the point you want it to fade. The music level is also not adjustable.
Translation of the podcast into Turkish was also fast and easy, but the quality of the Turkish speakers was far below that of the English ones.
All in all, this app provides good value for money already. But there is room for improvement, especially in tooling.

Edited Feb 25, 2025Hey, thank you so much for the review and feedback!
Regarding this the background music, we actually already support adjusting the volume and fade-in fade-out. Just click on the music block in the timeline (it's colored yellow) and look on the left side, you'll see slider to adjust volume and fade-in fade-out toggles.
