Auto-Generate Podcast
Chapter Markers with AI
Chapters help listeners navigate long episodes and signal a professionally produced show. Podtyper generates timestamped chapter markers automatically from the transcript — no manual work required.
Why podcast chapters matter
Chapters give listeners a table of contents for your episode. On Apple Podcasts and Overcast, chapters appear as a timeline — listeners can jump to the section they care about without scrubbing through hours of audio.
For podcasters, chapters increase listener retention (people are more likely to keep listening if they can see what's coming), and they're a signal of production quality that distinguishes professional shows.
Creating chapters manually means listening back to the whole episode and noting down timestamps — typically 30–60 minutes of work per episode. Podtyper does it in under 5 minutes.
