What they are
Murf
Murf converts text into studio-quality voiceovers using a library of AI voices across multiple languages and accents. Creators, instructional designers, and marketers use it to produce narration for videos, courses, and presentations without recording equipment. Voice quality is noticeably better than older text-to-speech tools, though expressive emotional range still falls short of a skilled human narrator.
Substack
Substack is a publishing platform where writers host email newsletters and charge subscribers a recurring fee. Independent journalists, essayists, and niche experts use it to build direct audiences without relying on ad revenue. The platform handles payments, delivery, and a basic website automatically. Substack takes a 10% cut of paid subscription revenue on top of stripe fees, which becomes a real cost as an audience grows.
