Question 1

What is NewsFlow?

Accepted Answer

NewsFlow is an AI news service that turns the day's top headlines into a 5-minute audio podcast you can listen to in the browser or get delivered to WhatsApp. Stories are aggregated from major news publishers and narrated by AI in your chosen language.

Question 2

How much does NewsFlow cost?

Accepted Answer

NewsFlow is free. The audio is generated on demand and streamed straight to your browser - there is no subscription, no signup required to listen, and no audio stored on our servers.

Question 3

Which languages does NewsFlow support?

Accepted Answer

NewsFlow currently supports English, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, French, German, and Japanese. The available languages adapt to your selected country (e.g. India shows English plus Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali; Canada shows English and French).

Question 4

How is the news narrated?

Accepted Answer

A text-to-speech engine reads the script aloud. The text is built from the headline and a short description for each story you select, with smooth transitions between topics. Subtitles scroll in sync with the audio so you can read along.

Question 5

Can I share the podcast on WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After generation, the player has a Share button that uses the Web Share API to send the audio file to WhatsApp (or any installed app) on mobile. On desktop the file is downloaded so you can attach it manually.

Question 6

Are my selections or audio stored anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The guest podcast flow is stateless - your article selection, the generated audio, and the subtitle timing exist only in your browser session. Nothing is uploaded or persisted on our servers.
