For independent podcasters

Your episode arrives as audio. It leaves as show notes.

Drop in the file. Studio transcribes it right in your browser — nothing uploads — then drafts your show notes, chapter markers, SEO copy, and social clips. One page. About two minutes. A couple of cents.

How it works

Three steps, timed on a real 22-minute episode.

0:00

Lay your episode on the desk

Drag in the audio — M4A, MP3, WAV, whatever your editor exports. It never leaves your machine: transcription runs locally in your browser.

2:05

Watch it take dictation

The transcript writes itself in front of you, timestamps and all. Keep the .txt and .srt for your archive — they're yours, one click.

2:14

Copy your fair copy

Show notes, chapters anchored to real timestamps, an SEO title that actually fits the box, and five quotes your hosts actually said.

What you walk away with

Four things every episode needs, written for you.

Show notes
A hook that earns the click, key topics as flowing paragraphs, and takeaways your listeners can skim. Every claim drawn from the transcript — nothing invented.
Chapter markers
00:02:11 — Economic data: AI is hiring, not firing
00:06:05 — The jailbreak and the global shutdown
00:15:04 — Inside the machine's mind Anchored to your audio's real timestamps — never estimated, never past the end of the episode.
SEO title & description
Under 60 characters. Under 155 characters. With a live counter that turns red if a limit breaks — so search engines never truncate your pitch mid-sentence.
Social clips
"If we have to start giving our software a weekend off, the entire economic model changes overnight."

The five most shareable moments — only words your hosts actually spoke, attributed and ready to post.
Why it's different

Your unreleased episode stays unreleased.

Transcription is local

Whisper runs inside your browser tab. Your audio never touches a server — ours or anyone else's.

Your key, your account

Bring your own Anthropic API key. It goes only to Anthropic, straight from your browser. We never see it, never store it.

Nothing retained

No accounts, no uploads, no databases. Close the tab and it's like you were never here.

We couldn't listen to your episode if we wanted to.

Honest costs

Every run prints the receipt.

Studio shows you the actual token count and actual price of every generation, straight from the API response — no estimates, no bundles, no surprises at the end of the month.

These are real numbers from a real 22-minute episode, measured in July 2026. Your API costs, paid directly to Anthropic on your own key, land around a couple of cents per episode.

Before you start

Three things beta testers ask.

Where do I get an API key?

console.anthropic.com → API Keys. It's separate from a Claude.ai login; add $5 in credits and you're set for a very long time.

What audio works?

M4A, MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC. First run downloads the transcription model once (~145MB), then it's cached forever.

Will it be fast on my machine?

Chrome or Edge on a recent Mac or PC flies — a 22-minute episode transcribes in about 2 minutes. Older machines take longer but get the same result.

Open beta · free while we test

Bring one episode. Leave with the write-up.

If it saves you an afternoon, tell us. If it stumbles, definitely tell us — that's what the beta is for.
