PODCAST SHOW NOTES
Turn a finished recording into a concise summary, chapter list and takeaways without blocking the transcript itself.
A practical conversation about editing spoken stories without sanding away the moments that make them human.
The transcript becomes ready before show notes run. Long episodes are capped to a fixed input window, so an expensive summary request cannot silently grow with a three-hour recording.
A publishing handoff
Show notes should help a listener decide where to start and help a producer publish without reopening the whole audio file. CastTranscript grounds the summary and chapter suggestions in the finished timed transcript, not in a separate upload or disconnected prompt.
Your editable text and exports are never held hostage by a summary job.
Long recordings use a fixed transcript cap so cost and latency stay predictable.
Review the proposed timestamps in the same project before copying or exporting Markdown.
Useful by design
The summary describes the episode in a few sentences. Chapters give listeners a route through a longer conversation. Takeaways pull out the decisions, claims or practical ideas worth remembering. Keeping those blocks separate makes the final Markdown easier to adapt for a podcast host, newsletter or CMS.
CastTranscript does not publish the episode page for you. You stay responsible for factual review, names, links and any claims made by a guest. The editor gives you a clean starting point and keeps the source transcript one click away.
Questions, answered
The output includes a concise episode summary, timestamped chapter suggestions and a short list of takeaways. The underlying transcript remains available for review.
The transcript still becomes ready and all transcript or subtitle exports remain available. You can retry the notes step independently.
They are grounded in the timed transcript, but a producer should still play each suggested chapter point and adjust it before publication.
Yes. Markdown is available alongside plain transcript text, SRT and WebVTT from the project export workflow.
Private by default
Keep a reliable transcript even if the optional show-notes step needs another pass.
