Take a sneak peak of Chapters in action

Summaries made digestible with Chapters, increasing the engagement of content.

Our Product Manager, Rohan, demonstrates Chapters in practice.

In the age of bite-sized content and social media, listeners lose interest in long, unbroken media.

Now you can create easy-to-read chapters of your favorite podcasts. Everything is generated automatically, giving the audience handy summaries about what they've missed and the ability to skip to that section of the audio.

We use best-in-class machine learning models to identify optimal places for chapter markers based on topic changes in media files.

FAQs

Can I specify how many chapters will be generated?

No - the number of chapters created is not managed by the user. A combination of our cutting-edge ASR and the best Large Language Models automatically segment the media into chapters.

How can I access Chapters?

We're excited to launch Chapters alongside our other existing capabilities as part of our move into Speech Intelligence.

Chapters is now available through the Speechmatics API which you can try today!

What are the benefits of using Chapters?

In the age of bite-sized content and social media, listeners lose interest in long, unbroken media. Creating properly timed chapter breaks in long audio files is a tedious and time-consuming process. Listening through and marking timestamps is inefficient, monopolizing valuable human attention.

Chapters enable users to jump to the points of interest. This removes the need to manually mark up your media, satisfying that natural urge to make content easier to parse, and giving you grouped information to use in other workflows.
