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.
Hi there! It's Peter again and I'm back with another update. New to Alitu are... Folders 🎉
You asked, we listened, and now it's here! Staying organised is often the most overlooked aspect of podcasting. But as your podcast grows, it becomes more and more important. Today we will show you...
You can easily group your existing audio into folders by selecting them and clicking: Move to folder > New folder. Here's how:
Keeping tidy going forward becomes easy too as you can upload files directly into designated folders. See it in action:
Alitu will now show you a little dot inside the transition button. The dot lets you know there's a transition between your audio clips. Useful to ensure all your transitions are in the right place, before you hit 'Build.'
Try it for yourself and let us know your thoughts 😊
Alitu can now remember the transition settings you used last time, so you don't have to set them again!
When you create a new episode, it'll include your default episode intro & outro PLUS the transitions and fade that you set on them last time.
So now, there are even fewer clicks required to go from hitting 'new episode' to getting in published.
See how it works in action:
We hope this will help you save time while making your episodes and would love to hear what you think.
Hey there,
We are making it easier to add a bit of organisation to your "My library".
You can now bookmark or pin your favourites and they will appear at the top of your library everytime.
Really handy if you use use the same files for creating your podcast episodes.
Thanks!

Hi there,
We are redesigning the Library to help you find the right file faster. It's easier than ever to rename your clip, change the audio type (advert, music...) and delete what's not needed. Regardless of where you are in the app
No need to go back and forth between your episode and the Library. You can now rename & delete files straight from the Episode Builder. Staying organised has never been this easy. Give it a go next time and let us know what you think!

Hi there,
Thanks to the recent update, you can now transcribe in even more language.
We can auto-detect English (US), French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. So if those are not the languages you speak, make sure to let Alitu know by going to Settings > App Preferences > Transcription Language

Hi there,
Putting together your podcast description has always been a bit of a chore among podcasters. You've recorded everything, edited your audio and assembled it all together. You're dead keen to get it out to your listeners, yet the description box is dauntingly blank. Not anymore!
Alitu can now generate a great podcast description or episode title for you at the click of a button!
When you are at the publish stage, you just need to select the "write using AI" button and shownotes and titles options will appear.
You dont need to use these, you can always just use your own.
06th October 2023
Hi there,
The call recorder has had a facelift and some new features have been added to make it even easier to make scheduling, hosting and managing your calls simpler.
🎤 Start Recording when everyone is ready
You now have more control over the start and end of your recording. You can start recording immediately (for great behind the scenes content) or only hit the button after you have a 'welcome' chat with your guests
👀 Everything where you'd expect it to be
We made sure that all the buttons you use most often (like mute and unmute) are always on hand. And the new call screen aims to keep you informed rather than overwhelmed.
🗨️ In call- chat function
Whether you use it to send a link to interview notes or send funny comments during the call, chat is always useful. And in this update the experience got a little bit better. Send links, use emojis, all in a new, cleaner interface
🏵️ Easier access to settings (before and after the call)
Swapping to different microphone or headphones got easier too. You can now help your guests pick the right mic during your call – and before you start recording. Swap between external headphones or mics with ease and make sure the mic is picking you up well.
👥Your studio is now branded with your name
if you're named Alitu, like us, your guests will now see 'Alitu's studio' everywhere as soon as they arrive. All this to make the entire experience a bit more inviting. A warmer welcome!
