Turn reading into listening. Readcast converts the articles you care about into audio and lines them up with your favorite podcasts in a single playback queue. Commutes, chores, drives — whenever your ears are free, it's reading time.
ARTICLES BECOME PODCASTS
- Add a news site or blog URL and new articles are pulled in automatically
- Clean text extraction reads only the article body, skipping ads and boilerplate
- Pronunciation dictionary keeps abbreviations and names natural
- Automatic language detection: English articles are read with an English voice
PODCASTS, OF COURSE
- Search Apple Podcasts or browse the popular chart to subscribe
- Direct RSS / Atom feed URLs are supported
- New episodes and articles line up chronologically and play continuously
TUNED FOR LISTENING
- Automatic volume leveling across shows
- Speech Clarity boosts the voice band for noisy environments
- Playback speed 0.8x-3.0x, remembered per show and per episode
- One tap to temporarily drop to normal speed
PICK UP ANYWHERE

IN THE CAR
