Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PodNotes and AI-powered podcast content.

What is PodNotes?

PodNotes is an AI-powered tool that generates show notes, social media posts, and SEO blog content from your podcast episodes. Upload your audio or paste a transcript, and PodNotes produces five content pieces in about 2 minutes.

How does the podcast transcription work?

PodNotes uses Deepgram for speech-to-text transcription. It supports MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4 files up to 240 minutes long. Transcription accuracy is typically 95-98% for clear audio with native English speakers. You can also paste an existing transcript if you prefer.

What content does PodNotes generate from each episode?

Each episode produces five content pieces: structured show notes with timestamps and guest bios, a LinkedIn post, a tweet/X post, an Instagram caption with hashtags, and an SEO-optimized blog post. All pieces are generated from the same transcript in a single run.

What audio formats are supported?

PodNotes accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4 files. Maximum episode length is 240 minutes. Files are automatically deleted 7 days after processing for privacy.

Can I repurpose podcast content for social media?

Yes — that is one of PodNotes' core features. It generates platform-specific posts for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Instagram, each written in the tone and format that works best on that platform. You can copy and post them directly or edit them to match your voice.

How accurate are the AI-generated show notes?

PodNotes uses Claude AI to generate show notes from your transcript. The output includes accurate timestamps, topic summaries, guest bios, and notable quotes. Most users find the output publication-ready with minimal editing.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account gets 30 free minutes of audio processing with no credit card required. That is enough to process 1-2 typical podcast episodes and see the full output quality before committing to a paid plan.

What are the pricing plans?

PodNotes offers three paid plans: Starter ($24/mo for 300 minutes), Pro ($59/mo for 1,000 minutes), and Agency ($119/mo for 3,000 minutes). Annual billing saves 33%. All paid plans include show notes, social posts, blog content, and all export formats.

Can I export my show notes and content?

Yes. All generated content can be exported as HTML, Markdown, or plain text. This makes it easy to paste into your podcast host, CMS, email platform, or social media scheduler.

What happens to my audio files after processing?

Audio files are automatically deleted 7 days after successful transcription. Your generated show notes, social posts, and blog content are saved to your account and available anytime. PodNotes does not use your audio or content to train AI models.
