Seems like everything has a screen these days. Perhaps someone is using a toaster to listen to your show. You wouldn't know... If you're hosting your show with us, now there's a way to tell!
This new metric is now available in your Statistics page 📈
In addition to your show cover, you can now add episode artworks in Alitu. Custom art helps your listeners find the right episode to listen just by gleaning the cover. Here's a podcast that does this really well:
I can quickly tell who the guest is and what the episode will be about. Nice! You can set the art for your episode by editing its details:
Thanks again to all of you for your votes and feedback on this 💜
Does the pacing of your speech sometimes feel off? With just one click, you can now add an extra second of pause to your clips:
We are so happy this is finally here. Thanks to all (one hundred and three) of you for providing your feedback and voting on this feature 💜
You can now attach a transcript of your episode directly to your RSS feed. Just by checking a checkbox on the publish page. Like so:
Transcripts make your content more discoverable. This makes it easy for people to find your show and specific episodes. While search engines can't listen to audio yet, they can read. Learn more here.
Accessibility. Including a transcript also makes your podcast more inclusive, reaching those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
Additionally, transcripts allow your listeners to easily navigate your podcast and return to specific parts of an episode.
The transcript tag that this feature uses is a Podcasting 2.0 feature, which we're proud to support, and which helps to push podcasting as a medium forward.
Episode Downloads statistics just got better. If you host your show with Alitu, you can now sort episodes by most and least downloaded.
This allows you to check what content is striking a chord and which is just playing air guitar in an empty room.
You've asked for it and it's finally here! Pause your calls to take a break and save yourself the editing time after. Available in your Studio today.
We really value your feedback and it has helped us build this feature. If you've got a moment, tell us what you'd like us to work on next:
Hi there!
Today we're launching a new tool to help you extract great clips from your show. You can use it to hook your listeners early with a cold open or to tease your episode on social media platforms. Let's dive in!
You can extract clips from any audio you upload to Alitu. Just open the editor, select the Clip tool and highlight your soundbite.
From there, they can be downloaded and turned into promotional material on social media. Or re-used in your next episode!
Many podcasters start their episodes with a funny or attention-grabbing clip, called a cold open, to hook listeners early. Alitu makes that easy.
Choose your perfect part and check the "Add to start of this episode" box — Alitu will handle the rest!
We hope this new feature will make your podcasting life a little better. And, as always, if you have any feedback or further questions, just hit the chat bubble. We love to hear from you. 💜
This is our next-gen take on audio editing in Alitu, where the waveform and text live side by side. Enjoy full-screen transcript editing and more space for your audio on smaller laptops. And that's just the start!
With filters in the new editor, you can slash your editing time in half (or more!). Remove any filler words and pauses with a click of a button.
And, if we ever remove too much, you can always undo any wrong cut. Unlike a lot of apps which claim to remove your filler words, in Alitu your audio stays safe. You always have full creative control, and can review every edit if you choose to.
Thanks to all of you requesting this feature ❤️
We're so grateful for all of you voting on what to build next. And we can't wait to hear your thoughts on the new filters. Try them out today!
You can now make your audio sound even more professional by silencing those breathy inhale sounds. Keen to try? Just head over to Settings > Audio Preferences and enable "Remove breath sounds."
And click here if you missed our recent summary on other changes to the editor. That's all for now. Stay tuned!
We know you like to record remote calls in Alitu, and video calling should make this even better. Now, you can not only hear each other, but also see your guests! Just to make the calls a little warmer.
You can try it out today. Just go to your studio and choose your webcam.
And, if you're into video podcasts, we are also working on video recording. It will come later this year and allow you to download each participant's video after the call. Stay tuned!
Thanks to all of you requesting this feature ❤️
We can't wait to hear what you'd like us to build next.
Below is a short video on improvements that are coming to the Alitu Editor on Apr, 2nd.
New filters for ums, ahs and silences
Alitu is now able to detect any disfluencies and dead air in your speech. Filters allow you to remove this type of audio automatically.
This means Alitu can help you make cuts and dramatically decrease editing time. And! You can restore or adjust those edits if we ever remove too much.
Full-screen transcript editor
If you prefer to make your broad edits in the transcript first, you can now expand it to cover your entire screen.
We've also made more space for it alongside the waveform. This means easier editing on laptops and more space on bigger screens.
Make cuts as you normally would. Click and drag to remove a mistake. That stays the same.
Splitting works as before. Place your playhead in the right place and click "Split."
Export edited audio to Library like previously. You can still click this button if you want to re-use your edited audio elsewhere.
