Podcast show notes are the written companion to an episode: a two-to-three paragraph description, the topics covered, and timestamped moments a listener can jump to. Good show notes do two jobs at once — they convince a browsing listener to press play, and they give podcast directories and search engines indexable text to rank.
This generator reads your transcript and writes the full set in one pass. Nothing is teased or truncated: the complete output renders on this page, and you can copy each block or download the whole thing as Markdown for Buzzsprout, Transistor, Spotify for Creators, or your CMS.
If you publish weekly, the pattern that works is: paste the transcript the day you edit, publish the notes with the episode, and reuse the timestamps as YouTube chapters. Consistent notes compound — they are the cheapest episode SEO you can do.
What are podcast show notes?
Show notes are the written summary published alongside a podcast episode — typically an episode description, key topics, timestamped moments, and any links or resources mentioned. They live on your podcast host, in podcast apps, and on your website.
How it works
- Paste your episode transcript (or a YouTube link with captions, or a direct audio link).
- Press Generate — one bounded AI pass writes the description, topics, and timestamps.
- Copy any block, or download the full show notes as Markdown.
Common questions
What input does the show notes generator need?
A transcript works best — paste up to about 45 minutes of speech. You can also paste a YouTube link (we fetch public captions when available) or a direct link to an audio file, which we transcribe first.
Is the full output really free?
Yes. The complete show notes render on this page — description, topics, and timestamps — with copy and download buttons. No signup, no email gate, no truncated preview.
Why is there a 45-minute episode cap and a daily limit?
The free tools run real AI generation with no signup, so we cap episodes at 45 minutes, allow 3 free runs per tool per day, and pause the tools once a shared daily budget is used up. The full EpisodeOps app has none of these caps — your first complete episode is free.
Do you store my transcript?
No account, no email. We log anonymized usage (a hashed IP, the tool used, and text length) to prevent abuse, and we cache results by input so repeat runs are instant — but we never store your transcript text against you, and we never ask who you are.
