Turn text into a podcast worth listening to
Earshot turns any text into a podcast episode: an article, a PDF, your notes, an email thread before a call, or a single chat message with a topic. The difference from text-to-speech converters is the word "into": your text is the source material, and what comes out is a written, narrated, scored and mastered episode.

What people make with it
- Call prep: an email thread and a brief become an 8-12 minute briefing, ready before you get in the car.
- Study: lecture notes and slides become a series that covers the syllabus, recaps included.
- Learning a field: a topic plus optional sources becomes a multi-episode curriculum, deep not broad.
- Stories: narrative episodes with full scene-by-scene sound design, when you want to get lost in something.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of text can I turn into a podcast?
Articles and links, PDFs, notes, an email thread plus a brief, or one message describing what you want to hear. The producer writes an episode from it rather than reading it back.
Is this the same as text-to-speech?
No. TTS converts words to a voice one for one. Earshot writes a script shaped for listening, narrates it naturally, adds music and sound design, and masters the result like a real production.
Can I control length, tone and format?
Yes: generate immediately and let the producer decide, or set length (about 5, 15 or 30 minutes), format and tone. Episodes stay editable after generation.
