What EpisodeBrief does with an episode
One episode in, a publish-ready bundle out. Everything below is in the product today; the last section lists what it does not do.
Getting an episode in
Upload an audio file
Send an audio file straight from your machine. Every upload is scanned for malware before any processing starts.
Paste a link
A direct MP3 or M4A URL, an RSS feed, or a public episode page. EpisodeBrief resolves the link down to the playable audio behind it.
Import a YouTube transcript
EpisodeBrief requests native captions first. Only after the provider confirms they are absent does it request a provider-generated transcript. It never downloads YouTube audio or video.
What one episode produces
Speaker-labelled transcript
A clean reading transcript and a verbatim transcript, both speaker-labelled, plus SRT and VTT caption files.
Show notes
A summary and a set of show notes written from the transcript and checked back against it before they are stored.
Chapters
Chapter markers with timestamps, placed where the episode changes subject.
Four scored title options
Four title options, each scored against search data and shown with the evidence behind the score. Rescore them within your allowance.
Five highlights
Five quotable passages pulled from the transcript, each with its timestamp.
Platform copy
One description per publishing target — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and WordPress — shaped to that platform's length limits.
Reviewing before you publish
Edit in the browser
Change any part of the result in your browser. Every edit is kept as a revision you can read back.
Getting it out
Export bundle
Download the transcript, captions, show notes, chapters, titles and platform descriptions as one .zip.

Publish a show page or an episode page. A page goes public only once you approve that publication.

How your material is handled
Disclosed retention
Every stored artifact has a written retention window, from the source audio to the generated bundle.
Uploads are scanned
Every uploaded file is scanned for malware before it reaches transcription.
Account deletion
Request account deletion by email at the privacy address. Self-service deletion in settings is not available.
What it does not do
No free plan
There is no free plan and no trial. Processing starts after a paid activation.
YouTube is transcript-only
YouTube stays transcript-only: native captions first, then a provider-generated transcript only after the provider confirms native captions are absent. EpisodeBrief never downloads YouTube audio or video.
Support is in English
Support runs by email, in English only, whichever interface language you use.
