Cast docs
Cast is a podcast finisher: upload an episode and a minute later it plays you 30 seconds of it already edited, then transcribes the recording so you can cut the audio by editing the text, cleans up filler words, pauses and noise, generates the intro, outro and background music the episode needs — with a commercial licence — and exports one finished file at the loudness your platform expects.
Getting started
What Cast is, how your audio gets in, how you hear the finished version a minute after upload, and how an episode goes from raw take to finished, licensed, publishable file.
Editing the transcript
Edit the audio by editing the text: cut words, remove fillers, trim pauses, label speakers.
- How do I edit the transcript — what can I actually do?
- How do I remove filler words?
- Why isn’t every "like" flagged as a filler?
- What exactly does Cut all cut — and can I cut just some of them?
- How do I remove pauses and silences?
- Can I remove mouth clicks and lip smacks?
- How do I fix a word the transcription got wrong?
- What is the difference between Delete and Ignore?
- Can I undo a cleanup — even long after I made it?
- How do I separate two speakers in one audio track?
- Can I listen faster without the chipmunk voice?
- How do I add chapters with timestamps?
Bleeping & censoring
Bleep swearing, redact a name or a spoiler, and publish a clean version that stays clean in the audio and the captions — a dictionary scan for the swears, a manual bleep for the rest, all non-destructive.
Improving the sound
Noise, room tone and uneven levels — fixed without making you sound like a robot, and reversible if it does.
- The breathing between sentences is too loud
- One person is much louder than the other — how do I even them out?
- How do I remove background noise?
- How do I make my voice sound more "studio"?
- The AI cleanup made my voice sound robotic — how do I fix it?
- Can I remove echo or room reverb from a recording?
- Can I change the character of a voice?
- Can I use EQ and compression?
Music and sound effects
Generate music, bring your own, and add SFX.
Mixing
The Studio: lanes, clips, and music that gets out of the way of the voice.
Exporting and publishing
Platform-matched loudness, stems, captions and chapters — and the license record that goes with the episode.
Plans and credits
What each plan includes, and what actually costs credits.
Account and limits
Subscriptions, limits, and where Cast deliberately stops — and what picks up from there.
Automating with AI agents
Hand the first pass to Claude, Cursor, n8n or your own agent: connect it once, then ask for an episode in plain language. What it can do, what it costs, and what it will never spend without asking.
Troubleshooting
When something does not work, or does not sound right.
- My episode sounds quieter than other podcasts — how do I fix it?
- There is a click or a cut-off breath where I deleted a word
- The music is too loud under my voice — what do I fix?
- Audio in an old project will not play
- My audio was not transcribed
- My file will not upload
- The recorder cannot see my microphone
- My export failed or is stuck
- I broke my project — how do I get an earlier version back?
