XAPPmedia Launches Voice Cast for Podcasts

XAPPmedia has announced the launch of Voice Cast for Podcasts, a self-service offering that enables podcasters to create custom Amazon Alexa skills online in five minutes. From there, XAPPmedia reviews and tests the skills and when ready, submits them to Amazon for certification. The whole process typically takes just a few days until the podcast Alexa skill is live and accessible by listeners. Voice Cast is built on top of XAPP's One Voice AITM software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Microsoft Cortana voice assistant platforms.

The Voice Cast for Podcasts solution has already launched over 50 podcasts on Alexa such as "Sword and Scale," "Kirk and Callahan," "We Study Billionaires," "The Totally Football Show" and "Zach Sang." It is now available to all podcasters and supports all English language markets supported by Amazon Alexa. These include the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, Ireland, India and New Zealand.

Podcasters can visit Voice Cast for Podcasts on web, enter some background information on their show and click submit to start the process. Once the custom Alexa skill is live, XAPP continues to provide podcasters with the industry's leading managed service for voice app operation and management. Voice Cast for Podcasts is available on Amazon Alexa today and other platforms will be supported in the future.

"Podcasters are busy. Few of them have time to even consider building an Alexa skill. Voice Cast for Podcasts makes it easy. Taking five minutes to fill out an online form is the fastest way to get a podcast on Alexa," said XAPPmedia CEO and co-founder Pat Higbie. "From there XAPPmedia takes care of the rest."
