What Is Text to Podcast?
Text to podcast adapts approved writing into a listenable script and narrated episode. Choose the source, improve wording for the ear, and approve the output before sharing.
Start with your source
Use a topic, pasted text, Story321 work, or a PDF you are allowed to use.
Edit for listening
Replace visual references, shorten long sentences, and add spoken transitions.

Keep one takeaway
Choose the point listeners should remember after the episode.
Review the draft
Check names, facts, timing, and pronunciation before audio generation.
Source paragraph
Remote teams often lose decisions in long meeting notes. A short weekly recap can explain the decision, why it matters, and what happens next.
Generated two-host opening
Host: What if your team could hear the important decisions in two minutes?
Guest: This week, we turn meeting notes into a simple recap with context and next steps.
Show Notes
A short recap of the decision, its impact, and the owner of the next action.
Text to podcast works best when the editor removes details that only make sense on a screen.
