How does the AI podcast generator work?

You add a source and choose a format, a length and the hosts. The AI writes a script from your source, you read and edit it, and then each line is voiced by its host and joined into one MP3, with a transcript and chapters.

How many credits does an episode cost?

The script costs 1 credit, up to 20 scripts a day. The episode is charged like text to speech: 10 credits per 1,000 characters, or 17 in HD, and the button shows the total before you start. See pricing for packs and plans.

Can I try it before I buy credits?

Yes. A new account gets 60 credits, enough for a script and a full episode of about 5 minutes, with no watermark.

Can I edit the script before the audio is made?

Yes, and it costs nothing. Change any word, switch which host says a line, add or delete lines, and add [laughs], [sighs] or [pause]. After the episode is made, change a line and only that line is voiced again.

Which sources can I turn into a podcast?

PDF, TXT and Markdown files, the address of a public web page, or any text you paste, up to 60,000 characters. PDF to podcast needs a PDF with selectable text; a scanned page has none.

Will the hosts make things up?

They are told to keep to your source: every fact, number and name comes from it, and a number the source does not contain makes the AI write the script again. You read the script before any audio is made, so you can correct anything.

Which languages can the podcast be in?

Scripts can be written and voiced in 36 languages, with native host voices in 36 of them. The source and the episode can be in different languages: an English article can become a Spanish episode.

Can I use my own voice as a host?

Yes. Clone your voice with AI voice cloning and pick it as one of the hosts, next to a voice from the library.

Can I turn a YouTube video into a podcast?

Transcribe the video first with transcribe audio, then paste the transcript here as text. The hosts talk about what was said in the video.

What is an AI podcast generator?

An AI podcast generator turns written material into an episode you can listen to. It reads your source, writes a script in which one or two hosts explain it to each other, and gives every line a natural voice. A long PDF, a page of notes or an article becomes a few minutes of conversation for a walk, a commute or the gym.

How to make a podcast with the AI podcast maker

Three steps, and you see the script before any audio is made.

Add your source
Paste text, upload a PDF, TXT or Markdown file, or enter a web address. A PDF is read in your browser, so only its text is sent, up to 60,000 characters.
Get the script, then edit it
Pick a format, a length and the hosts. The script costs 1 credit; change any word, swap who says a line, or add and delete lines as often as you like.
Generate and download
The hosts read the script into one MP3, with a transcript and chapter times. Change a line later and only that line is voiced again.

What this AI podcast generator does

Two hosts who explain your material, a script you control, and an episode that is ready to share.

A man listening to a report as a podcast

A two-host podcast from what you already have

Reports, lecture notes, articles and handbooks are all good sources. The hosts keep to what your source says: every fact, number and name comes from it, and a number the source does not contain sends the script back to be written again.

Read the script before you pay for audio

The script comes first, line by line, for 1 credit. Fix a name, cut a tangent, add a question, or put [laughs] where a host should laugh, and only then make the episode.

Change one line, pay for one line

Heard a slip in the finished episode? Edit that line and generate again: the lines you kept are reused as they are, and the button shows the credits for the changed lines only.

400+ voices as hosts, or your own

Choose two hosts from 400+ voices with portraits, in 36 languages, or host the show yourself with a cloned voice. Both hosts are levelled to the same loudness, so neither one sounds far away.

Show notes and chapters, ready to publish

Every episode comes with a title, a short summary and chapters with their start times. Copy them in one click for your podcast page, and download the transcript as a text file.

A transcript that follows the voice

While the episode plays, the line being spoken lights up. Click any line to jump to it, which makes checking a long episode quick.

AI podcast samples from a web page, a PDF, notes and text

Each episode below was made by this AI podcast generator from the source shown with it, in the studio, exactly as you would make it. Play one, follow the transcript, and send its source to the studio to make your own version.

PDF to podcast, notes to podcast and text to podcast: a guide

PDF to podcast: reports, papers and handbooks

A PDF is the most common source, and the easiest to get right. Upload it and its text is read in your browser; the file itself stays on your computer. The AI podcast generator then works from the words on the pages, so a report, a research paper or a staff handbook all turn into an episode the same way.

A PDF needs selectable text. A scan of paper pages is a picture of text, with nothing to read, so save scans with text recognition first.

1Upload the PDF, or several pages of it pasted as text.
2Choose interview for a report: one host asks, the other explains.
3Add a note such as "focus on the results and the plan" to steer the script.
4Read the script, check the numbers, then generate the episode.

Long documents work best at 10 minutes. For one chapter of a book, paste just that chapter so the hosts can go into detail.

Notes to podcast: revise by listening

Turning notes into a podcast is a quick way to revise. Paste your revision notes and choose solo: one host explains the topic straight to you, in the order of your notes, with the key terms kept as you wrote them.

Listening once on the way to class and once the night before gives you two passes through the material without opening a book. The transcript is there when you want to check a definition.

Web page to podcast: articles and blog posts

Enter the address of a public page and the article text is fetched for you, without the menus around it. Blog posts, guides and news stories make good conversation episodes: two hosts who explain the article to each other.

Pages behind a sign-in cannot be read. Open the page, copy the article and paste it as text instead; the result is the same.

Text to podcast: anything you can paste

Text to podcast covers everything else: an email thread, meeting minutes, a packing list, a speech draft or a chapter of your novel. Paste up to 60,000 characters and the AI podcast maker writes a script from it.

Short texts give short episodes. The hosts never pad a thin source with invented facts, so a few lines of notes become a short episode rather than a long one.

Choose the format and the length

The format decides how the hosts talk. Pick the one that suits the source.

1Conversation: two hosts explain the source to each other, the classic AI podcast.
2Solo: one host speaks straight to the listener, good for notes and lessons.
3Interview: a host asks, a guest who knows the material answers, good for reports.
4Debate: the hosts take opposite sides of a question, then find common ground.

There are 3 lengths, up to about 10 minutes. Start with the shortest to hear the hosts, then make the longer version.

Pick hosts that are easy to tell apart

Two hosts should sound different: a woman and a man, or two voices of different ages or accents. Each voice has a portrait and a short preview, so you can hear the pair before the episode is made.

You can also be a host yourself. Record a short sample with AI voice cloning and pick your cloned voice for one of the hosts.

YouTube videos: transcribe first, then make a podcast

To make a podcast from a video, turn its speech into text first. Upload the audio or video to transcribe audio, download the transcript, and paste it here as text. The hosts then talk about what was said in the video.

Publish your episode

Download the MP3 with its transcript, then copy the title, summary and chapter times into your podcast host. The file is tagged as AI generated. Your episodes stay in your history for 30 days, ready to edit and download again.
