Fast Cast: Podcast Player

OUR BIGGEST UPDATE EVER! A NEW SOUND ENGINE Downloaded episodes now play through Fast Cast's new sound engine: speech stays clear at every speed. Full Auto, Smart Speed and Voice Boost were rebuilt from the ground up. THE SOUND SHEET REMADE Every sound control in one place, from the speed pill or the Sound button: this show or all shows, Sound Styles, profiles, and Analysis graphs that say exactly what they measure. TRANSCRIPTS YOU CAN READ Transcripts and live captions stay free. The transcript is now a reader, with chapters inline, the current line lit as it's spoken, search, and a Now pill that brings you back. SUMMARIES, CHAPTERS AND AD MARKS On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Fast Cast reads its own transcript and writes a summary, chapters and ad marks, right on your device. Free for everyone. AUTO AD SKIP (BETA) Skips the sponsor messages Fast Cast finds in episodes it has transcribed, only when it's very sure. Every skip shows Go Back. Off by default, in Settings › Playback. THE PLAYER'S MIDDLE PAGE Swipe left from the artwork: About, Chapters, Ads, Transcript, Bookmarks & Clips, Links, Sound, Your listening, Episode facts. Reorder or hide any of them.
