Draft episode notes for review

Choose the output and review steps that fit your recording.

Begin with a checked transcript

Upload an episode file here or open Podcast Learning to import a supported public episode. Correct the transcript before relying on a summary.

Organize a publishing draft

Use generated summaries and key points as material for an episode overview. Add chapter headings, resources, and links after checking the recording.

Perform an editorial review

AI can miss context or invent a connection. Verify guest names, quotations, URLs, and timestamps; publishing remains your decision.

How to Generate Show Notes

Prepare the recording, review the result, and export the format you need.

Step 1

Transcribe the episode

Upload the saved audio here. For a supported Apple Podcasts, Xiaoyuzhou, or public RSS source, use Podcast Learning to select the episode.

Step 2

Draft an outline from the transcript

Use the available AI summary and key points to organize a short overview and chapter outline. Keep claims traceable to the recording.

Step 3

Verify and publish yourself

Check chapter start times and quotations by playback. Add verified resource links, edit the draft, and copy it into your podcast host or CMS.

FastScribe keeps privacy claims practical and tied to controls available in the product.

Controlled Access

Transcription files and results stay scoped to the account or guest session unless the user explicitly creates a share link.

Configurable Retention

Available retention choices depend on account access and can be managed as part of the transcription workflow.

User-Directed Deletion

Signed-in users can manage and delete transcription tasks from their workspace instead of publishing them by default.

Podcast Show Notes Generator FAQ

Questions about generating show notes from podcast episodes.

Are the generated notes ready to publish automatically?

No. Treat them as a draft. Verify factual claims, names, quotes, links, and timing against the recording before publishing.

Can I start from a podcast link?

Use Podcast Learning for supported public Apple Podcasts, Xiaoyuzhou, or RSS sources and select an accessible episode. Private feeds or unavailable media may need a permitted audio upload.

Does this generate a complete chapter file for my host?

Use the transcript timestamps to build and check your chapter outline. This page does not promise a host-specific chapter file or automatic publishing integration.

What is the difference from podcast learning?

Show notes help listeners decide what an episode covers. Podcast learning focuses on reading along, replaying passages, and reviewing concepts for your own study.

Are all AI operations free with transcription?

Check the credit information shown for the operation you choose. Do not assume that every AI action is included in a transcription charge.
