Chat-driven audio and video editor with a voice API
Async is the platform previously sold as Podcastle: multitrack remote recording, transcript-based editing, audio cleanup, voice cloning and dubbing, now fronted by a chat interface that carries out edits from written instructions. A February 2026 rebrand folded video editing and a developer-facing voice API into the same account, and existing Podcastle plans, projects and billing carried over unchanged. Usage is metered by monthly AI credits alongside separate caps on recording and transcription hours.
Free tier caps you at 3 hours of video, 1 hour of transcription and 10 lifetime AI credits; paid tiers refill credits monthly (450 on Storyteller, 1,200 on Pro, 3,000 on Teams) and yearly billing is discounted up to 40%.
Use tool ↗Solid mid-tier pick for solo podcasters and small teams who record remotely and want cleanup, transcription and clip-cutting on one bill. If voice synthesis quality alone is the deciding factor, a dedicated TTS vendor still beats it.
