Frequently asked questions
What's included in podcast show notes?+
The output includes an episode summary, the main topics discussed (with timestamps), standout quotes from the conversation, and any guest-mentioned resources like books, tools, or websites. It's structured the way podcast websites typically present show notes.
Can I publish these show notes on my podcast website?+
Yes — the output is designed to be publish-ready. Treat it as a strong first draft: review it, verify any resource names the guest mentioned, and add your own links before publishing.
Does it include timestamps?+
Yes — key topics and standout quotes are timestamped so listeners can jump to specific moments directly from your show notes page.
How accurate are the guest names and resources?+
The tool pulls names and resources from what's said in the captions. Auto-captions can mishear proper nouns, so always verify spelling of guest names, book titles, and company names before publishing.
Is the podcast notes generator free?+
Yes — completely free, with no account or sign-up. Generate show notes for as many episodes as you need.
Do I need an account or browser extension?+
Neither — it's a browser-based tool. Paste a URL on desktop or mobile; nothing to install.
How accurate are show notes when the podcast uses auto-captions?+
Auto-captions are accurate enough for most podcasts, but they can struggle with technical jargon, non-native accents, or fast speakers. Verify anything that reads oddly against the audio before publishing.
Is there a length limit on podcast episodes?+
No strict limit — it processes the transcript, not the audio, so a three-hour episode takes about the same time as a 30-minute one.
What format is the output — can I export it?+
The notes are plain structured text you can copy into your CMS, Notion, a Google Doc, or any other tool. There's no proprietary format to unlock.
Can I use this to search through a whole podcast backlog?+
This tool handles one episode at a time. [veridive](https://veridive.com) can ingest an entire podcast library so you can search across every episode — great for finding when a guest discussed a specific topic across many appearances.
