AI podcast generator features

Turn any content into a podcast

Paste in a script, upload a PDF or share a URL. The AI podcast generator extracts the key points, drafts a clear episode structure and organises every scene. Turn any text, meeting notes or lecture notes into a natural-sounding podcast.

Realistic AI voices and voice cloning

Choose from more than 300 natural-sounding AI voices in the AI voice generator library, or upload your own voice to create a clone in 30 seconds. Publish in your accent and reach a global audience across more than 175 languages and dialects, without re-recording a single line.

Two-host conversations on demand

Generate dynamic two-host conversational episodes where each speaker has a distinct voice, pace and personality. The AI podcast generator automatically splits dialogue, manages turn-taking and keeps the exchange natural, so the podcast sounds like a real conversation rather than a robot reading aloud.

Audio or video podcast in a single click

Publish a polished MP3 on Spotify or a video podcast featuring a lifelike lip-synced avatar on YouTube. Add chapter markers, intros, outros and background music in the AI video editor without switching tools. One workflow handles both audio and video content.

Repurpose long episodes into short clips

Drop in a 60-minute episode and get shorter social clips out the other side. Instant Highlights v2 finds the strongest moments, adds word-synced captions using the subtitle generator, and exports faceless video in vertical formats ready for Reels, Shorts, TikTok and any short-form feed.

Podcasters without a studio

Skip the microphone setup, editing software and audio engineer fees. Use the AI podcast generator to create podcasts directly from text, choose a voice and publish a professional podcast to Spotify or Apple Podcasts that same day.

Educators and course creators

Turn lesson plans, slide decks or lecture notes into engaging podcasts students can listen to on the bus. Use the educational video maker to add visuals for the YouTube version, then export an audio-only edit for podcast feeds.

Newsletter and blog content repurposing

You spent six hours on the newsletter. Don’t let it languish in an inbox. Run the article-to-video workflow or paste the URL, then republish the same idea as an audio episode for an audience that prefers to listen.

Marketing teams scaling up content

Your team writes one explainer. The AI podcast generator turns it into a multilingual episode that supports multiple languages, with localised AI dubbing so the same launch reaches audiences in Mexico, Tokyo and Berlin in the same week.

Sales enablement briefings

Turn internal product memos, FAQ documents or release notes into private audio briefings that reps can listen to on their commute using the PDF-to-video workflow. No more asking, "Did anyone read the document?" Update the script, regenerate and redistribute.

Internal communications and training

Replace the all-hands recap no one watches with a six-minute podcast people actually finish. Add an avatar host for the video version using the training video workflow, and send the audio-only version to global teams who listen offline.

Frequently asked questions

How does HeyGen compare with NotebookLM and other AI podcast generators?

Most AI podcast tools, including NotebookLM, stop at audio. HeyGen creates audio and video podcasts with a realistic AI spokesperson as the avatar host, clones your voice and translates the podcast into more than 175 languages from the same draft.

What is an AI podcast generator and how does it work?

An AI podcast generator turns written content into a podcast episode using AI voices, automated pacing and audio polishing. Paste in a script, PDF or URL, and the system drafts the show, selects voices and renders the file.

Is the AI podcast generator free?

Yes, with no credit card required. The Free plan covers short episodes, a starter library of AI voices and watermarked MP4 exports. Paid plans unlock longer episodes, voice cloning, 4K exports and unrestricted formats.

What can I upload, and how long does an episode take?

Paste plain text or a script, upload a PDF, DOCX or PPT file, or share a URL. A 5–10-minute episode usually renders in 3–8 minutes. Longer episodes scale proportionally.

Can I clone my own voice for my podcast?

Yes. Record a 30-second sample and the system captures your tone, pace and inflection. Every episode after that sounds as though you read it, without needing to use a microphone again.

Can I publish the same episode in multiple languages?

Yes. Video episodes support more than 175 languages and dialects with native dubbing. Würth Group delivered a 65-minute presentation in eight languages in four days using the same workflow.

Where can I publish, and which formats can I export?

Export as MP3 for audio platforms or MP4 for video podcasts, then upload it to your podcast host just as you would a recorded episode. Link your RSS feed to the file.

Can I add background music and edit the video before publishing?

Yes to both. The editor includes a royalty-free music library, fade controls and sound-effect drops. You can tighten lines, swap a voice mid-episode, reorder segments or insert your own audio clips before rendering.

What types of content work best for an AI podcast?

Long-form written content with a clear argument. Blog posts, newsletters, research notes, course modules, internal memos and slide decks. Anton Voroniuk reaches more than 1 million students, saves 15.5 hours each week and produces audio at 1/40th of the cost.

Can I create a video podcast without appearing on camera?

Yes. Use an avatar host instead of recording yourself. If you’d prefer narrated footage, graphics and captions without an on-screen presenter, use the faceless video workflow.
