Why this workflow

From a text file to a listenable explanation.

Plain text is flexible: it can hold notes, exported drafts, transcripts, research excerpts, or material copied from another tool. Poddy turns a readable TXT file into a private audio episode designed for listening.

The result is not a flat line-by-line recital. Poddy organizes the supplied material into a summary, explainer, dialogue, or guided lesson while keeping the source available for verification.

How it works

From source to private episode in three steps.

01

Save the material as TXT

Use clear headings and complete sentences where possible, then save the content as a UTF-8 plain-text file.

02

Choose the episode shape

Pick an explainer, two-host conversation, or teacher-and-student format and set the target length.

03

Listen and verify

Play the private episode, download its MP3, or add it to your personal podcast feed.

Structured for listening

Keep the useful detail without reading every line aloud.

The episode changes the format, while the original source remains the place to verify exact wording and detail.

A simple source format

TXT removes layout noise and gives the generator direct access to the words that matter.

More than text-to-speech

The script can reorganize the material for explanation instead of reading every line mechanically.

Private delivery

Keep the result in your Poddy account, download it, or receive it through a personal RSS feed.

Know the limits.

Audio is useful for orientation and review. The source remains essential when precision matters.

  • A TXT file cannot carry visual layout, images, tables, tracked changes, or document comments.
  • Fragments without context can lead to a fragmented episode, so expand unexplained shorthand first.
  • Only upload text that you are authorized to process and verify important claims against the source.
Frequently asked questions

Common questions about text to podcast.

How do I convert text into a podcast?

Save the material as a readable TXT file, upload it to Poddy, choose the episode style and length, and start generation.

Is a text podcast the same as text-to-speech?

Not in Poddy. The source is restructured into a spoken briefing or conversation rather than read from the first line to the last.

Can I download the result?

Yes. Completed episodes can be streamed, downloaded as MP3 files, or delivered through your private podcast feed.

Can I paste text directly into Poddy?

The current workflow accepts TXT files. Save pasted material as a plain-text file before uploading it.
