Audio stays in this browser and is not embedded in saved projects. This planner organizes human-written changes; it does not transcribe, synthesize speech or edit the source recording. Public pages may include third-party ads; see our privacy policy.
Shortcuts: Alt + ← / → changes pickup; Ctrl / ⌘ + Enter applies edits. Projects support up to 2,000 pickups. Keep a saved project before closing this page.
Using Podcast Pickup Recording Planner
Build a recording pickup queue with exact replacement lines, source times, speaker direction and take tracking.
- Try the five-line garden-podcast example or start a new session. Add corrections and exact source timestamps.
- Choose a pickup, edit the replacement and direction, then Apply changes. Priority sorting and search help plan the recording order.
- Optionally open local audio and play with a lead-in to hear the original. Log take counts and mark each pickup recorded. Record the actual takes in your recording software.
- Save a project to keep the full session. Export a plain text script, CSV or printable HTML handoff sheet.
Example
A community-garden episode includes a corrected year, a guest introduction, a cleaned-up sentence, updated event details and a new closing.
