MakePodcast

MakePodcast turns a written script into podcast-style audio. Its described workflow is to provide a script, assign voices to one or more hosts and generate an episode. The platform names OpenAI text-to-speech and ElevenLabs as its voice providers, and describes using an ElevenLabs custom voice for users who have the appropriate rights and provider access. Potential uses include narrated articles, scripted conversations and ad reads.

The public website contains generated episode examples and a signup page. These establish an accessible product presentation, but no account was created and no script, voice sample or API key was submitted during this review. Audio quality, generation speed and the current operation of provider integrations were not independently tested. Language availability and voice rights depend on the selected provider and its current terms.

The homepage displays a USD 49 offer for a lifetime-labelled, one-time platform plan. It requires users to supply their own OpenAI or ElevenLabs keys and credits, so the platform fee does not include unlimited paid speech generation. The site also advertises a free start, but the reviewed pages did not establish the free allowance or where a paid license becomes necessary. The terms generally make license fees non-refundable, subject to legal requirements and discretionary exceptions.

An FAQ says API keys are stored in browser web storage rather than on the platform's servers. This is the vendor's statement, not an independent security audit. The privacy policy describes general account and usage-data processing but does not establish specific script or audio retention and model-training conditions. Confirm those details before using confidential scripts, and check voice permissions and any required synthetic-audio disclosure before distributing an episode.
