Transcript (Caption) Downloads

Download your episode transcripts (captions) for improved accessibility across podcast platforms

We’re thrilled to take another step toward making podcasts more accessible. Transcripts are more than just words on a page—they’re a bridge for those who experience podcasts differently.

Starting today, you can download your episode's transcript directly from Jellypod.

Use these captions to improve SEO and accessibility anywhere your podcast is published.

Improved Audio Generation Speed & Regeneration Caching

Audio generations are now up to 66% faster and regenerations use previously created audio segments if unmodified.

As of today, we've rolled out improvements that decrease the number of credits consumed when regenerating audio.

It was frustrating to know that even if you make a small edit to one of your chapters, the entire episode had to be regenerated. Now, Jellypod only regenerates audio for modified sections, minimizing credit consumption while preserving conservation realism and context awareness.

Faster Audio Generation

Audio generation times have improved by an average of 66%! This means you can spend less time waiting around and more time on creating content. Whether you’re generating an entire episode or fine-tuning a specific chapter, you’ll now enjoy a more seamless and rapid experience.

Smarter Regenerations

Regenerating audio is now smarter and more cost-effective. Instead of regenerating the entire episode, Jellypod only updates chapters that have been edited since your last generation. This saves you valuable credits, giving you more flexibility to experiment and create with fewer limits.

Note: Regeneration caching occurs at a chapter-level to maintain audio consistency and "naturalness".

Key Benefits:

  • Faster Workflow: Spend less time waiting for audio generation and more time polishing your episodes.
  • Credit Efficiency: Save credits by only regenerating chapters that have changed, allowing you to create more.

Now all plans are able to create more with less! Ready to try it out? Experience the faster creation process today.

Introducing PDF & File Uploads

Jellypod now supports direct file uploads including PDFs, DOCX, Powerpoint, Images and more!

Website links are great, but uploading your own files is even better. Starting today, all Jellypod users can upload files to create their next podcast episode.

Upload PDFs, TXT, and more

Jellypod now supports uploading over 50+ unique file types, including:

  • PDF
  • Powerpoint
  • Word
  • Images
  • Excel
  • And more (HTML, EPUB, etc.)

Our state-of-the-art document parsing system accurately extracts your file's content into a ready-to-go source for your next podcast. Whether you're dealing with academic papers, financial reports, or plain text files, we can handle it.

Example Use Cases

  • Academic Insights: Transform research papers (including LaTeX formulas) into digestible podcast summaries.
  • Real Estate & Market Trends: Share insights on housing market shifts, property valuations, investment opportunities, and emerging market trends.
  • Internal Guides & Trainings: Listen to operation guides or training manuals as easy-to-consume podcasts. Your team will thank you later!
  • Financial Analysis: Break down S-1 Filings, 10-Ks, and other reports into conversational deep dives.

Your ideas aren’t limited to websites, and now, with file uploads, Jellypod lets you focus on what matters: creating engaging, informative content, no matter where it starts.

Now live: Transcript Editing

Tweak your podcast script to perfection before generating audio.

We know that fine-tuning your episode is key to producing high-quality, professional content. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Transcript Editing—a powerful new feature that ensures your podcast sounds exactly the way you want it to.

How It Works

Once your episode's script is created, a text editor will appear on the right-hand side, where you can:

  • Add or Remove Host Speech Blocks
    Seamlessly adjust your script’s flow by inserting new sections or trimming unnecessary parts.

  • Correct AI Quirks
    Fix any inaccuracies or rephrase sections to match your unique style and tone.

  • Add Personal Touches
    Use [brackets] to insert interjections like "Mhms", giving your podcast a natural and conversational feel.

Why You'll Love It

  • Creative Control: Fine-tune every word for a polished, professional result.
  • Flexible Adjustments: Perfect your episodes without starting from scratch.
  • Realism and Depth: Bring a human touch to AI-powered podcasts, making them feel authentic and engaging.

What’s Next?

We’re working on even more enhancements, including AI-powered editing suggestions. Stay tuned as we continue to improve your podcasting experience!

Introducing Credit-Based Billing

You can now create unlimited podcasts and episodes, and only consume credits when generating audio.

Jellypod's mission has always been to simplify the process of creating your first AI-powered podcast. However, we learned that many of you use your initial episodes to experiment and get a feel for AI podcast creation. This often led to quickly maxing out the free tier, leaving little room to fully explore your creativity.

In response to your feedback, we’re excited to announce a shift from an episode-based model to a credit-based system. With this update, you can draft as many podcasts and episodes as you like—no caps, no restrictions.

Credits are only used when generating audio, giving you the freedom to experiment and create without worrying about limits. This new model ensures you have the flexibility to bring your podcasting vision to life on your own terms

What's Changing?

  1. All users (including free) can create unlimited podcasts and episodes. This includes episode outlines and scripts.
  2. Credits are only used when generating audio. Each minute of audio generated consumes 60 credits.
  3. You can regenerate audio as many times as you want, but credit consumption remains the same.

What's next?

We are building out optimizations to reduce the number of credits used when generating audio, such as selective regeneration. We'll also be adding more features to help you manage your credits, such as credit usage history.

We're excited to see what you create with this new system, and we're looking forward to seeing what you create!

Publish Anywhere with RSS Feeds

Jellypod now supports RSS feed publishing, making it easier than ever to distribute your AI podcast.

Now that you've created an amazing AI podcast, how do you get it to your listeners?

RSS Feeds.

What is an RSS Feed?

RSS is the backbone of podcast distribution.

Think of it as a constantly updating catalog of your podcast that contains everything listeners need: episode titles, descriptions, cover art, and the actual audio files themselves. The feed is properly formatted to make it easy for podcast platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts to read and display your content.

Every show needs a valid RSS feed to be distributed on these platforms. Typically, creators need to use a podcast hosting provider to generate and maintain their RSS feeds. However, with Jellypod, this is all handled automatically.

Publish Everywhere, Instantly

Today, we're excited to announce that Jellypod now automatically generates an RSS feed for each published show, making it effortless to distribute your podcast.

This means you can easily use this feed to submit your show to popular platforms like:

  • Apple Podcasts
  • Spotify
  • Google Podcasts
  • Amazon Music
  • And any other platform that supports RSS feeds

Don't want to do this manually? We're working on a feature to streamline this process in the near future.

How It Works

When you publish an episode in Jellypod, it's automatically added to your show's RSS feed. Your feed includes all the essential metadata platforms need:

  • Show details and artwork
  • Episode descriptions
  • Audio files
  • Host information
  • Categories and tags

Getting Started

  1. Create and publish your podcast episode in Jellypod
  2. Find your RSS feed URL in your show settings
  3. Submit your feed URL to your preferred podcast platforms by following their platform-specific instructions
  4. That's it! Future episodes will automatically appear on all connected platforms

We will be streamlining the process of submitting your feed URL to platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts in the future. Stay tuned!

Focus on Creating, Not Distribution

With RSS feed support, you can focus on what matters most - creating engaging content with your AI host.

Voice Cloning

Introducing Jellypod's Voice Cloning, the easiest way to make an AI podcast in your voice.

The hardest part of making a podcast is recording and editing your voice. The voice of your podcast host can make or break your listener’s experience.

With Jellypod, we’ve already made it easy to choose from a library of professional AI voices. Now, we’re taking it a step further by enabling voice cloning.

Introducing Jellypod Voice Cloning

Our new Voice Clone UI puts the power of professional audio engineering into a sleek, intuitive interface. Whether you're adding or refining your own voice clone , the process is seamless.

How it Works

Simply upload a sample of your voice. It's just that simple.

Some things to consider:

  • Quanity: Shoot for 2-3 minutes of audio content
  • Quality: Find a quiet environment with a good mic for best results
  • Consistency: Be consistent in your 2-3 minute delivery. Think of this as teaching someone how to do an impression of yourself.

Why It Matters

Your podcast voice isn’t just a delivery mechanism; it’s your brand’s identity. With Jellypod’s Voice Clone UI, you can now create a voice that’s as unique as your content—without needing a studio or a sound engineer. The best part is you clone it once, and use it forever. No more recording sessions and editing.

So, dive in and give your podcast host the voice it deserves, all from the comfort of Jellypod.

Start cloning your voice today!

Magic Voice Design

Introducing Magic Voice Design, the easiest way to create the perfect podcast voice.

The first step in making a great AI podcast is creating a host that sounds awesome.

Previously, you could either choose from a list of over 40+ professional voices, or you could clone your own voice. Now, we're making voice selection even easier.

Introducing Magic Voice Design

Magic Voice Design is a new feature that leverages your host's existing backstory to instantly generate a voice that matches your host's personality. There's no complicated prompting or extra steps required, allowing you to spend more time on what matters - creating your perfect podcast.

How it Works

Simply add more detail into your host's backstory (or not) and we'll use those characteristics to design a voice that incorporates other assumed aspects like age, accent, tone and pitch.

Is your host a Wall Street finance bro from New York? Or an ancient samurai warrior from feudal Japan? Or how about an evil wizard from the 1300s? No problem, we've got you covered.

Magic Voice Design helps you create that perfect host just a little bit faster.

So, what are you waiting for? Start designing custom host voices today, directly in Jellypod.

Our Story

Jellypod was born out of a deep love for podcasts and a belief that AI empowers more human creativity and creation.

Jellypod was born out of a deep love for podcasts.

Podcasts have always been my go-to for convenient, entertaining content. But as much as I loved listening, I found a lack of content in the niches I cared most about. It's not that these topics don't exist anywhere—they just weren’t podcasts.

Because creating a podcast is hard.

Like anything worth doing, it requires time and effort. From researching topics to script writing, recording, editing, and publishing, the process is labor-intensive, especially if you’re covering a niche topic with a small but dedicated audience.

I mean, you could write a newsletter - but who even reads those anymore?

That’s why we built Jellypod.

It's an AI podcast studio designed to make it easy for anyone to create recurring, studio-quality podcasts.

Humans have always created tools to enhance our natural abilities. We believe that we should continue to build tools that make humanity more efficient. And now we're living in a time where we can finally scale human creativity.

Artificial intellligence won't destroy human creation.

Just like the PC and Microsoft Word made it easier for people to write (imagine having to write your college thesis on a typewriter), AI enables anyone to easily turn a dream into reality. So why don't we apply this to media? If we make it easier to create content that listeners actually find valuable, then we've succeeded. It doesn't matter what tools went into the process.

Become your show's executive producer.

Jellypod allows you to focus on the creative decisions and insights that make your show unique. By designing your show's outline, key research & data sources, and host characteristics, Jellypod automates the repeative tasks that don't really need you involved.

Imagine having a team of script writers, researchers, editors, etc. creating your own podcast, all guided by your vision and unique insights.

Focus on the big picture. By automating the most time-consuming parts of podcasting, Jellypod makes it possible to consistently deliver high-quality podcast episodes, grow your following, and monetize a global audience. We’ve made it easier than ever to become a creator.

We really hope you enjoy using Jellypod. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at pierson@jellypod.ai.
