Blogcast — Turn your articles into audio
Audio is the new trend for consuming content. But while everyone's listening to podcasts, you're still writing articles. Why not serve people where they're at?
With Blogcast, you can generate audio versions of your articles, automatically.

@chclteteacher Awesome, thank you! Let me know if I can help with anything :)
Great idea! Would it be possible possible to do the same for the Greek language? Yes I know there are not a lot of Greek speakers out here, but we are all over the world. From USA, to Australia and Asia apart from Greece and Europe. If it needs a training model I may help. Keep up the good work.
Saw this on 200wordsaday before and really liked it. Is this something that can be embedded into other platforms like Medium and LinkedIn?
@itsabhinaya I don't know about Linkedin, but it can definitely be embedded on Medium, here's a guide: https://docs.blogcast.host/embed...
Something I was looking for. Great going. I would have signed up and placed my first order if onboarding can be improved.
@pradeep_io Hi there! Can I help you get up and running? How do you think I could improve the onboarding?
👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm Miguel Piedrafita, a 17-year-old maker.
🗓After resting on the holidays, I decided I wanted to build something. And, to make everything more interesting, I decided I wanted to finish it in a week.
💡The idea came from realizing I don't have enough time to read all the awesome content out there. Reading requires your complete attention during the length of the article. But audio doesn't! So I decided to build something that turned existing articles into audio, in hopes of increasing both my audience and the amount of content I consume.
🚧I worked consistently on Blogcast during the whole week, logging my progress on Makerlog, Twitter and 200 Words a Day. I also wrote a big article detailing all the process on my blog.
🚀Super excited to launch this! Let me know if you have any questions :)
@m1guelpf now I want to have a more active blog only to test blogcast on it! Nice work Miguel, and it's even better considering the one-week ship, keep working hard and shipping like there is no tomorrow 😉
From sign-up to downloading the first article audio it took me less than five minutes. The processing of the audio took me less than 20 seconds for a article with 1125 words (6858 characters without spaces) to be generated. Will use again.
Pros:- blazing fast - awesome price policy - good quality - almost flawless gramatical pronounciation
Cons:- problems with enumerations
Well done Miguel, Blogcast is one of the most unique awesome product, congratulations 👍🎉
Congrats on the launch, such a great product! Any plans to integrate different styles of voice tones?
@lachlankirkwood Could you ellaborate further on what you mean by "different styles of voice tones"? We already offer different languages and accents if that's what you're searching for
@m1guelpf Awesome, that's exactly what I after 👍 Just wasn't able to source any other examples on the landing page.
@lachlankirkwood It's on the pricing table :D I should prob make it more obvious tho
I implemented blogcadt across my blog to make it easier for people to consume our content, this is especially helpful as it’s a fitness based company so people can listen to our articles while working out! The experience has been excellent so far, and any issues I did encounter were very quickly resolved. I couldn’t recommend blogcast enough, I can’t wait to see where this product goes!
Pros:Super simple to use, high quality audio, great price.
Cons:It would be great to have some analytics down the line, but this isn’t vital, and hasn’t impacted the product in any way for me.
Congrats on the launch, Miguel 🎉
Really helpful for those who like audio more than reading articles.
@m1guelpf has been working hard on this app. Super inspiring to see a 17-y-o maker make and market his own product as well as he does :) Keep it up! Amazing job right there ☝️
@paulcnichols This has probably to do with my background. I've been coding since I was 10, but didn't get a credit card until last year. I'm used to building alternatives to avoid paying and searching for the cheapest service that achieves most of the desired outcome. I don't really need a source of income to live right now, as I have my needs covered, so I won't arbitrarily raise prices and leave other young makers out of my service. However, if you feel like you aren't paying enough, feel free to support me on Patreon :) https://miguelpiedrafita.com/pat...
Great Job Miguel, audio is become very popular and being able to easily convert blog posts into audio is a great benefit. 🔥
