I did see that Whisper was available as a free software package to run locally, and from time to time I tried to look into this and to get it working. But I never had any luck.

Until yesterday, when I read a blogpost from @Castopod. Finally someone who explained it in terms that even I could understand. https://blog.castopod.org/transcribe-your-podcast-for-free-using-only-a-laptop-and-whisper/

After following instructions and downloading at least 10 GB of data, I gave it a try, and it worked! It worked amazingly!

A big thank you and shout out to the team at @Castopod for migrating my podcast from self-hosted to Castopod.com. Seamless transition and the RSS feed didn’t even change!

shout out to @Castopod - such an amazing tool
"Self-host your podcasts with ease, keep control over what you create and talk to your audience without any middleman. "

@DrTCombs The neat thing is that any website that let's you upload audio files and creates an rss feed will do. Including Mastodon or WordPress. But there are also specific podcasting services, like podcast plugins for WordPress, or @Castopod.

And as someone else mentioned, Audacity works fine for editing, and is free both as in beer and as in freedom :)

@J12t @Castopod or @bookwyrm spring to mind..

@grincheux @hastur @doktorzjivago non je ne connaissais pas. C'est intéressant mais ça reste une bidouille, tu n'auras pas de moyen d'ajouter toutes les balises nécessaires pour être dispo sur les plateformes je pense.

Mais pour faire du podcast en étant compatible fediverse etc, je conseillerai plutôt @Castopod

Gratuit et open source, facilement installable etc et directement compatible mastodon !

@kellyn

I'm not sure what might be the solution for this but I'd be remiss to not mention that @Castopod's doing some great work in the Podcast realm.

Beyond the (obvious/unfortunate) advertising push places like Apple are doing to associate podcasts with platforms like theirs, there is – for the average person, I think – less cognitive overload to think of podcasts as something you get from somewhere.

Alt. sources, such as Castopod, may may keep that easy association w/o curtailing freedom?

Ca y est, @jplus7 est à jour, version 1.4.5 de @Castopod !

Si vous voulez nous suivre, partager, commenter, faver un épisode dans le fédiverse, c'est possible dès le site du podcast !

Preneur de vos retours si vous avez des difficultés !

A friend of mine is trying out podcasting. I was able to help out by setting up a little #castopod instance to host and share and learn more about @Castopod@podlibre.social and podcasting! Here is the first episode from his podcast.
