Your agent can browse the web, read docs, and write code — but it can't listen to podcasts. Give it any episode as clean Markdown, with real speaker names, in one API call.
pt_demo with any endpoint. No signup needed.
You started building a podcast tool — and spent a week on infrastructure instead of your product.
spoken.md replaces that entire pipeline with one API call. You get speaker-labeled Markdown with real names — ready for your LLM's context window.
Figuring out who is speaking is harder than transcribing the words. Most tools punt on this — you get "Speaker 1" and "Speaker 2" and a manual cleanup step.

spoken.md works with any podcast episode. Search by text or paste a URL from Spotify, YouTube, or any podcast app to find episodes.
Speakers are automatically identified by their real names when possible. When names aren't mentioned in the episode, labels like "Host" or "Guest" are used instead.
Transcripts are returned as clean Markdown. Each speaker turn includes the speaker's name in bold and a timestamp, with natural paragraph breaks. The format is optimized for LLM context windows — no timing artifacts or proprietary markup.
