About Podcast Show Notes Generator

What are podcast show notes?

Show notes are the written companion to an episode — the summary, topic outline, links and description that appear on your episode page and in apps like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. They are the first thing a potential listener reads and the text that podcast directories and search engines actually index, so they do a lot of the work of getting an episode discovered.

What this generator produces

Paste a transcript and you get five publish-ready blocks:

  • Episode summary — a 2-4 sentence overview of the episode.
  • Chapters — a 5-8 point outline of the topics in the order they come up.
  • Title ideas — five episode titles, each from a different angle.
  • Episode description — a ~50-word blurb for the Spotify / Apple description field.
  • Tags — 5-10 keywords for your hosting platform and episode page.

Transcribe first, then generate

This tool starts from a transcript. If you do not have one yet, create it first with Video Transcription or Audio Transcription, then paste the result here. Publishing captions as well? Generate them with the Auto Subtitle Generator.

Chapter timestamps

If your transcript already contains timestamps (for example 00:12:30), the chapter outline reuses them as chapter markers you can paste straight into your podcast host. If the transcript has no timestamps, you get a plain topic outline — the tool will not invent times.

Review before you publish

The output is a strong first draft written only from your transcript, not finished copy. Skim it for tone, fix any names or spellings, and make sure the description says what you want before you hit publish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are podcast show notes?

Show notes are the written summary and outline that accompany an episode on your episode page and in apps like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. They typically include a short summary, a topic or chapter list, an episode description and tags — the text listeners skim and that search engines index before anyone presses play.

How do I get a transcript?

This tool starts from a transcript you already have. Generate one first with our free Video Transcription or Audio Transcription tools, then paste the text here. Already producing captions? The Auto Subtitle Generator gives you a transcript too.

Will it create chapter timestamps?

Only if your transcript already has them. When the transcript contains timestamps (for example 00:12:30), each chapter bullet starts with the nearest one as a chapter marker. If there are no timestamps, you get a plain topic outline — it will not invent times.

How long can the transcript be?

Up to 100,000 characters in a single run — roughly a two-hour episode. For anything longer, paste the section you want notes for, or split the transcript into parts and run them separately.

Does this cost credits?

Yes — it is an AI tool, so each run uses a small number of AI credits. Anonymous users can try it within the free limits, and signing up for a free account gives you a credit balance to keep generating show notes.

Are the show notes ready to publish?

They are a strong first draft, written only from your transcript. Skim the summary and description, double-check any names and spellings, and adjust the tone to match your show before you publish.
