AI podcast generator features

Transform 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 each scene. Turn any text, meeting notes or lecture notes into a natural-sounding podcast.

Natural-sounding AI voices and voice cloning

Choose from over 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 own accent and reach audiences worldwide in more than 175 languages and dialects, without re-recording a single line.

Two-presenter conversations on demand

Create dynamic, conversational episodes with two hosts, each with a distinct voice, pace and personality. The AI podcast generator automatically divides the dialogue, manages turn-taking and keeps the exchange natural, so the podcast sounds like a genuine conversation rather than a robot reading aloud.

Create an audio or video podcast in one click

Publish a polished MP3 on Spotify or a video podcast featuring a lifelike lip-synchronised avatar on YouTube. Add chapter markers, introductions, closing sequences and background music within the AI video editor without changing tools. A single workflow handles both audio and video content.

Repurpose full-length episodes as short clips

Upload a 60-minute episode and receive shorter social clips. Instant Highlights v2 identifies the strongest moments, adds word-synchronised captions using the subtitle generator, and exports faceless video in vertical formats ready for Reels, Shorts, TikTok and any short-form feed.

Ways to use the AI Podcast Generator

Podcasters without a studio

Skip the microphone set-up, 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 on Spotify or Apple Podcasts the same day.

Educators and course creators

Turn lesson plans, slide decks or lecture notes into engaging podcasts that 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.

Repurposing newsletters and blog content

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

Marketing teams scaling up content

Your team write 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 representatives can listen to whilst commuting, 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 that nobody watches with a six-minute podcast people actually finish. Add an avatar presenter for the video version using the training video workflow, and provide an audio-only version for global teams who listen offline.

Frequently asked questions

How does HeyGen differ from NotebookLM and other AI podcast generators?

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

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

An AI podcast generator converts written content into a podcast episode using AI voices, automated pacing and audio refinement. Paste in a script, PDF or URL, and the system prepares the programme, selects voices and renders the file.

Can I use the AI podcast generator for free?

Yes, with no credit card required. The Free plan includes short episodes, a starter library of AI voices and watermarked MP4 exports. Paid plans provide 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- to 10-minute episode usually renders in 3 to 8 minutes. Rendering times increase proportionally for longer episodes.

Can I clone my own voice for my podcast?

Yes. Record a 30-second sample and the system will capture your tone, pace and intonation. Every subsequent episode will sound as though you read it yourself, 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 within 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 as you would a recorded episode. Link your RSS feed to the file.

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

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

What type of content works best as an AI podcast?

Long-form written content with a clear argument, including 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 make a video podcast without appearing on camera?

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