Recast

Recast is a tool designed to enhance the consumption of online articles by transforming them into rich, bite-sized audio summaries. This function facilitates easy understanding of news and articles while on the go, during a workout session, or during any other task. This tool essentially automates the reading process and turns articles into engaging, informative, and easily understandable audio conversations. The primary intention behind the tool is to assist users in managing long, tedious articles and news items by converting them into audible content. Users can add their own articles via the share sheet of the Recast application and listen to multiple other 'recasts'. It also possesses a built-in functionality to recast an article simply by pressing the dedicated button on Google Chrome. In addition, Recast lets users understand articles on a deeper level courtesy of its conversational style of explanation. It also allows users to discover interesting stories by enabling access to what others have recasted. Lastly, Recast helps manage an overflowing reading list by converting articles and newsletters into an easily digestible audio format.
