In their own words
Podhoc
Podhoc converts documents, videos, articles, URLs and text into podcast-style audio episodes. It offers nine audio styles, such as formats for critique, debate and the Feynman Technique, with episode lengths configurable up to 120 minutes. Creator and Pro support 73 output languages. Inputs include YouTube URLs, web articles, Wikipedia and pasted text; Creator and Pro also accept PDF, DOCX, DOC and TXT files. Podhoc extracts YouTube transcripts and offers a Telegram bot, a Pro REST API, and Chrome and Firefox extensions for saving webpage links. The API accepts publicly accessible URLs, but not file uploads or raw text. Native iOS and Android apps are available, and episodes can sync to Garmin and Apple Watch. Uploaded files remain private, while generated episodes are public in Discover by default unless Creator or Pro users turn off auto-publishing. Free includes 50 welcome credits and two languages. Creator monthly costs €20.99 a month; Pro monthly costs €72.99 a month. A 2,000-credit pack costs €44.99, paid once.
