Getting started with RadioNewsAI
Want to start exploring RadioNewsAI but not quite sure where to start? Check out these quick steps:
🗣️ Creating a script
Start by creating a 'Newscaster' - think of it as the format or script for your news bulletin.
Choose your language, select a voice that suits your preference (you can change it later if needed), and opt for a template to begin with.
Don't worry - this is just a starting point. You’ll be able to modify the newscast at any point moving forward.
Depending on the template you select, you might be prompted to add a source to the news, weather, or traffic sections of your newscaster.
If this is your first setup, it’s likely you don't have any sources in your account yet. But don't worry; you can create your first source during this step.
📰 Choosing your sources
When it comes to news, a source can either be an RSS feed, or you can manually craft stories by creating a manual source.
For weather and traffic source types, we offer a built-in option that automatically fetches weather and traffic data for your specified location.
You can find out more about sources here.
Manual sources
If you don’t have an available RSS feed, or if you'd prefer to explore without establishing a feed, a "manual source" might be your best bet.
It allows you to add stories manually. Simply navigate to the "Stories" section from the left sidebar and click the "+ Add" button in the upper right corner.
If you haven’t created a manual source yet, one will be automatically generated here.
If you have existing (multiple) manual sources, you can select your preferred source at this juncture.
This function essentially categorizes the story into this source, allowing you to utilize the "manual source" just like any other regular source in a newscaster.
📻 Edit, schedule and broadcast
Congratulations. You've set up the basics of your first AI news bulletin! For the following steps:
