Podcasts

Last updated July 4, 2026

Podcasts turn your notebook sources into a spoken episode. They are useful when you want to absorb material away from the screen or hear ideas challenged in conversation.

Create a podcast

Open the Podcast screen inside a notebook. Choose a focus topic, hosts, and length, then start generation.

The focus topic is optional, but it helps. Good focus topics sound like:

  • Compare the two main studies.
  • Explain the methodology and its weaknesses.
  • Turn this into an exam revision discussion.
  • Focus on the parts I am most likely to misunderstand.

Hosts

Kryptonote has different podcast characters. Each host brings a different style, such as enthusiasm, scepticism, or simplification. Combining hosts usually creates a more useful discussion than using only one voice.

Generation stages

Podcast generation may show stages such as listening, penning, rehearsing, conducting, and broadcasting. These mean Kryptonote is reading sources, writing the transcript, generating audio, stitching segments, and preparing playback.

Transcript and audio

Completed podcasts include speaker messages and, when audio generation succeeds, an audio player. You can download the transcript and the MP3.

If audio fails after the transcript is ready, use recovery if it is available. Recovery tries to generate or rebuild the audio without starting the whole episode from scratch.
