How to Convert TXT or Pasted Text into a Podcast
Learn how to copy text from a TXT file or document and turn it into an English two-host podcast with Savetopod.
1. Prepare the text
Copy a complete, continuous body of text. Include the title and useful section headings when they help explain the structure. Remove navigation menus, advertisements, repeated headers, and unrelated notes before pasting.
- Paste complete text instead of isolated sentences
- Keep the title and section structure
- Remove repeated or unrelated content
2. Paste the text into Savetopod
Open the add-content form in your Library and choose the text input. Paste the content, review it for obvious formatting problems, and submit it.
The current workflow uses pasted text from a TXT file rather than direct .txt file upload. This also works with text copied from a document, transcript, or PDF.
3. Let Savetopod create the episode
Savetopod organizes the text into an English two-host conversation. The hosts explain the main ideas, add transitions, and use questions to make a long block of text easier to follow by ear.
4. Listen and compare with the source
Play the finished episode from your Library. If the text contains technical terms, quotations, data, or instructions that must be exact, keep the original file beside you while listening.
