What Is Text to Podcast?
Text to podcast is not the same as text to speech. Text to speech reads your words aloud, exactly as written. Text to podcast rewrites them first. Headings, bullet points and long sentences work on a page but not in your ears. The AI turns them into questions, answers and examples, spoken by two or more hosts.
Text to speech
Reads it out
"Most bad coffee at home comes down to three things: stale beans, the wrong grind and water that is too hot…"
🔊 One voice reads the paragraph, word for word, comma for comma.
- ✓ Fast
- ✗ Sounds like a document
- ✗ No questions, no examples
Text to podcast
Turns it into a show
Leo: Is your coffee at home as good as the cafe's?
Maya: Usually not, and the machine isn't the problem. It's three things…
Leo: Start with the beans.
- ✓ Two or more hosts, each with a voice
- ✓ Script you can edit first
- ✓ MP3, read-along transcript, RSS feed
How Do You Generate a Podcast Online?
You need a browser and some text. That's it. Here's how it works in ZenMic.
- Open the studio. Go to zenmic.com/studio/ in any browser. Nothing to install.
- Add your text. Type a topic, paste your text, paste a link to an article, or attach a PDF or text file.
- Pick length, language and style. Choose how long the episode should be, the language, and a template such as a two-host conversation or an explainer.
- Edit the script. The AI writes a script with one or more hosts. Change any line before the audio is made.
- Generate, download, publish. Each speaker gets an AI voice. Download the MP3, share a link, or publish through your Project's RSS feed to Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
No text yet? Type a topic instead, such as "the history of the bicycle". The AI writes the whole script from that one line. Check the facts in the script before you publish.
