PodHerd Structured Transcripts and AI Chapters
PodHerd provides automated transcription, searchable public pages, and AI-generated chapters for podcast archives across all service tiers. The goal is to transform raw audio into a structured article-like format that allows users and AI assistants to navigate to specific moments in an episode.

08:32 Transcriptions got much better at the basics, like who's speaking, punctuation, where a paragraph should break. And then you can build on it. Split the episode into chapters, pull out the topics, tie each one to a timestamp so someone can land on the exact moment a thing was said. Now the page reads like an article with a player attached. Go on, say it. Hmm? The name of the company this show's archive lives on. Fine. On every podherd tier, your back catalogue is transcribed and each episode gets a searchable public page with AI chapters and topics.
09:09 Other tools do versions of this too, and the point stands whichever you use. If you're going to do transcripts at all, do them properly. A half-done one is almost worse than nothing because you think the job's finished. That might be the thing we agree on most all episode. Though I'd add one thing. A structured page is only as good as what's on it. If the conversation rambled, you get beautifully organised rambling. Agreed. Chapters won't rescue a dull episode. They just make it easier to find out that it's dull. There's another way to look at all this, though. If people like asking a question and getting an answer, why should that only happen on ChatGPT?
