How do these documents get into my account?

When you sign up, Verbato asks “What kind of work do you do?” Choose Podcasting & content and these documents are in your account. It then shows you an example of the one you need and asks whether anything is wrong with it.

Do I get all of these from every episode?

Verbato gives you the documents of the kind you file the episode under: Podcast episode, Social promotion, Video content, Repurpose to writing or Social Captions. You can ask for another document from the same episode later, and it uses no hours.

Does Verbato cut clips or make the video?

No: Verbato writes Clip markers, a list of moments worth cutting, each with its start and its end. The short-form video script is text for you to read and record. No clip and no video is cut or generated.

My episodes run long. Does that work?

Verbato's transcript covers the whole episode, up to the longest recording your plan takes. A document written from a long recording can miss parts of it without saying so. Read it against the transcript before you publish.

Do I pay per episode or per document?

Neither: with Verbato, you pay for hours of audio. Documents, corrections and exports are not counted, and signing up is free. The plans are on the pricing page.

Choose the documents once. Every episode after that comes back with them.

Verbato writes a podcast episode's documents from its recording: show notes, chapter timestamps, key quotes, titles and posts to promote it.

Summary

Ines Marlow talks with Tomás Arce, who has run a second-hand bookshop for eleven years, about what keeps a small shop open: what he buys, what he refuses, and why he stopped selling online.

Key points

Arce buys whole collections and expects to sell a third of each.
The shop's best month is January, not December.
He left the online marketplaces after two years: the fees took most of the margin on cheap books.
A table by the door, changed every week, sells more than any shelf.
He would open in the same street again, with half the stock.

Speakers

Ines Marlow, host
Tomás Arce, guest

Notable mentions

The January sale Arce runs every year
The collection of 1,400 books that arrived on the Monday before the recording

End of the illustrative example. The document was not produced by Verbato.

Your format, not ours

The sections of each document and the way it is written are yours to change. To fix a document, say what is wrong in your own words. Make the same correction a second time and Verbato asks whether to keep it. Nothing becomes a rule unless you confirm it, and you can undo any rule.

How it works

Upload a file, paste a link, record in your browser, or send a voice note by Telegram or email. Verbato makes a word-for-word transcript, which you can edit and which stays beside your documents. They are written from it, in minutes.

Recording limits

A recording made in your browser can run up to 30 min on every plan; a longer session goes in as a file you upload. A free account takes recordings of up to 40 min each; for longer ones, see pricing.

Your recording

Deleted after 7 days by default, together with its transcript and documents. You can keep a project longer, up to your plan's limit. Deleting a recording leaves a receipt you can download. Nothing you record is used to train or improve AI models. Recording patients or clients? Read what Verbato does with sensitive recordings.
