It automatically transcribes audio and video files, identifies speakers, analyzes key timestamps, and suggests potential titles and summaries for the content being processed. Transcript: Speaker 2 Now, we mentioned some AI tools when we were talking about repurposing that in that conversation, you mentioned Descript. I want to talk about Descript and its AI stuff for a second in a minute. But one of the things that I love that I mentioned was Cast Magic. And I don't think I talked about how deep that goes. It pulls in a transcription. You can connect an RSS feed too, by the way. You can connect RSS feeds from different things. And you don't automatically transcribe them. It just shows up there already and click this one, this one, this one. And it'll pull it in automatically. So, and what it does is it either takes that audio file, that video file. You can identify the speakers and then it transcribes it. And then this is where the magic happens because it's Cast Magic. Basically, what it does is it goes through and it analyzes. Okay, well, here's what's being spoken at this moment and this moment and this moment. Like, here are the key timestamps and things that are stated there. Here are potential titles for this. Here's a potential summary newsletter talking about whatever this was.

The constant updates and AI tools like Regenerate and AI image creation tools are appreciated despite the challenge of keeping up with the changes. Utilizing AI for podcast artwork creation using tools like Mid Journey and Chat GPT's Dolly 3 is beneficial for creating custom images. Transcript: Speaker 1 The newest thing because you know, Descript is a text based editor. So like if you're editing a Word document, it will change your video or your audio or whatever. They have a thing called I think it's called non-spoken words where it's like if there's a gap between like if Eric is thinking and there's this space, it'll visualize it now in the timeline And I can highlight that and hit delete and shorten it right in the transcript which as an editor makes things go really, really fast. So I really like that. The regenerate is the biggest thing and the AI tools where you can find good clips or the newest features that are coming out. So I have a course about this and the problem is they change things so much. It has been so hard to get this thing done because they keep changing things and adding all these really cool features. So that is the one thing for their AI tools that I think is really, really cool. On the visual side of things, we were talking about podcasts. All of our podcasts artwork for the last I think year, maybe year and a half are all AI images. They're all custom AI images. My daughter has been doing that for me and so we use a tool called Mid Journey. And if you now have the paid version of chat GPT, Dolly 3 is inside of there which you can use to create artwork. They're both really good. ([Time 0:20:59](https://share.snipd.com/snip/3815ecf5-e5fd-4138-b8db-9543c16e990c))
