We’re considering developing an open-source desktop app (Linux, Windows, Mac) for podcast creation.

It will feature a customizable workflow where every tool is a plugin, including:

🎛️ Noise reduction
🗣️ Mouth noise editing
🎚️ Simple multi-channel audio editing
🎵 Music insertion
✍️ Automatic local transcription, manual correction
📖 Chapter editing
🏷️ Metadata editing (ID3, RSS) with LLM
💾 Local publishing
🌐 Publish to host (including Castopod support, but not only)

@Castopod Descript completely changed audio and video editing for me. I can't imagine using anything else for talk-centric content.

It acquired SquadCast for perfect remote recordings.

Both are web apps wrapped in a browser to be native apps. I would love an open source version of it.

@Jeremiah @Castopod A Descript-esque editing experience (text-based editing) would be amazing!

I know @kdenlive is capable of doing so using their STT VOSK/Whisper integration, so it might be a starting point: youtu.be/3Qg6TS_FfXw
