It helps you speed up your transcription and writing workflow, and can be custom tailored to any vertical, from podcasting, to sales, to coaching, to marketing, and more.


🎯 How do I get started?

Step 1 - add a recording

Once you sign up for Castmagic, the first thing you'll do is upload a recording.

Select your import method, and follow the on screen steps for your file.

Step 2 - recording details

Once you sign up for Castmagic, the first thing you'll do is upload a recording.

  • Title: give your recording a title

  • Language: select the language of your recording

  • Speakers Expected: Optional - provide the number of unique voices to be expected

  • Magic Words: Optional - words with unique spellings to improve AI transcription

  • Context Prompt: Optional - additional direction or context about the recording

Step 3 - Transcript + Label Your Speakers

Recordings should take a few minutes to transcribe.

Once complete, you'll need to label your speakers so the AI knows who is who.

Do this by clicking on each speaker "Speaker A, Speaker B, Speaker C, etc." and provide a name and role based on a snippet of their recording.

🚨 If you do not do this, your content will be less accurate and you'll also miss out on several key features like quotes & speaker bios.

Click on the AI content tab.

Here you'll find the automatically content generated based on your recording.

The AI outputs included are generic suggestions to get you started.

If you'd like to refine the result, you have the full ability to create new custom content blocks to match your needs.

Pro tip: Explore our "community promts" or create a "New custom prompt".
