We’re considering developing an open-source desktop app (Linux, Windows, Mac) for podcast creation.
It will feature a customizable workflow where every tool is a plugin, including:
🎛️ Noise reduction
🗣️ Mouth noise editing
🎚️ Simple multi-channel audio editing
🎵 Music insertion
✍️ Automatic local transcription, manual correction
📖 Chapter editing
🏷️ Metadata editing (ID3, RSS) with LLM
💾 Local publishing
🌐 Publish to host (including Castopod support, but not only)

@Castopod could be interesting if it’s a native Mac app. If it’s some kind of crossplatform framework (electron or similar) I wouldn’t even try it.

@_holger @Castopod Why? 🤔
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from moonglum@social.yakshed.org
@moonglum @Castopod bad experience with crossplattform apps on macOS. Apples Aufio pipeline is sometimes a bit sensitive. Native apps can handle this usually well.

@_holger @moonglum Definitely not Electron! ⚛️

@Castopod so... what is your stack? I'm just curious, native is hard.

@moonglum @_holger @Castopod Electron seems kind of pointless these days if you can just make it a PWA. In general Electron apps have a tendency to be slow and heavyweight.

@blitz @_holger I agree that Electron apps should be replaced with PWAs, yes.

@moonglum @_holger Maybe MS Teams also didn't do anything good for the image of electron apps at least on Linux...

@Castopod Will it include an integration for recording, local and via studiolink.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ucas@social.saarland
@ucas Probably not.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Castopod@podlibre.social
@Castopod Still great news. I was just hoping. :-)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ucas@social.saarland
@ucas It will be made customizable so that it can be added later though.

@Castopod @ucas Remote recording would be a great feature.

@Castopod You've got other issues first. E.G. Federation issues. A podcast in Castopod not playable from inside Mastodon. Can you do something with that?

Wait isn't that already exsist with easy effects?

@box_yld I love easyeffect but it serves a totally different purpose (real time audio filters).

@Castopod amazing :blobBone_party: :blobBone_jump:

@Castopod
"Why not".
I'd still use Reaper for production, but I may use it for transcription, chapter editing and publishing if it'll allow not to do entire process in it.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from skobkin@lor.sh
@skobkin Yes, the whole point is to be able to customize the workflow so that it answers your needs!
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Castopod@podlibre.social
@Castopod Interesting to know if you have ideas on the transcription part. Will it include big tech? Then :geordi_dislike:
:geordi_like: If it doesn't use gafam
And all for multiplatform! :gnu:

@wendy Transcription will be based on Whisper, running locally. But it will be customizable.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Castopod@podlibre.social
@Castopod whisper ~~~ coooooolll ~~~
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from wendy@post.lurk.org
@Castopod
Please also include an option for vosk. It is much friendlier to use, especially on lower end or obscure hardware. Or at least make the customizability/plugin development intuitive enough for a moderate Python or equivalent developers.

@RadicalEcologist @wendy That's exactly the plan.

@Castopod Descript completely changed audio and video editing for me. I can't imagine using anything else for talk-centric content.
It acquired SquadCast for perfect remote recordings.
Both are web apps wrapped in a browser to be native apps. I would love an open source version of it.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Jeremiah@alpaca.gold
@Jeremiah @Castopod A Descript-esque editing experience (text-based editing) would be amazing!
I know @kdenlive is capable of doing so using their STT VOSK/Whisper integration, so it might be a starting point: https://youtu.be/3Qg6TS_FfXw

@Castopod This is such an exciting idea for an app!! 😁
I'd love to see music insertion work with existing copyleft/creative commons music + sound databases like Free Music Archive and Freesound.
