Teach MuteCast while listening

A timestamped transcript is required. When you hear a commercial passage, mark the current block; MuteCast stores both an immediate correction and a reusable pattern for this podcast.

  1. Listen to podcasts, not interruptions.

    MuteCast combines subscriptions, offline playback, transcripts and on-device analysis. You decide for every podcast which detected passages may be skipped automatically.

  2. Ad / Self-promotion

    Choose the red button: Use it for third-party advertising. Choose the yellow button: Use it when the publisher promotes its own products, events or subscriptions.

  3. Reuse the pattern

    Later analyses compare the learned wording with other episodes of the same podcast. It is not applied globally.

  4. Skip detected segments

    Later analyses compare the learned wording with other episodes of the same podcast. It is not applied globally. Enables Auto-Skip for the selected types. Turn it off when you only want visual markers.
