Don't you love to download apps that say "Free?" When you do, you find that it asks for your credit card, and not "free.".
I would rather it is honest and state a fee in the app store, than be surprised and find deception.

As an audiobook fan, I find Recast to be an excellent tool. One of my favourite features is the multiple voiceovers that sound natural.

Easy to use and like that it has text and voice. If you're just dipping your toe into the AI world and trying to save time, this is a great option.
