Tellers for Podcasters

Your podcast.
Every platform.
Automatically.

Tellers converts your audio episodes into illustrated videos, generates captions, and exports in every format your audience is watching — so you spend time recording, not editing.

Publishing videos from your podcast takes hours you don't have

Every episode you record holds hours of potential video content — and hours of editing work to actually publish it.

⏱

Manual editing is slow

Cutting clips, adding captions, and rendering different formats for each platform takes 2–4 hours per episode — time that should go to producing.

📐

Every platform needs a different format

YouTube needs 16:9. TikTok and Reels need 9:16. Instagram feed needs 1:1. Re-exporting for each platform is a production bottleneck.

🎯

Finding highlights is guesswork

Scrubbing through a 60-minute episode to find the three minutes worth clipping is not a scalable content workflow.

One upload. Every format.

Tellers handles the full audio-to-video pipeline — from raw episode to platform-ready content — in a single workflow.

Audio to Illustrated Video

Upload your episode. Tellers transcribes your audio and builds a visually rich illustrated video synced to your speech — no timeline editing required.

Full-length YouTube videos, audiograms, illustrated episodes

Automatic Captions

Every word is transcribed and timestamped, then burned onto the video. Everything is prompt-driven — describe the font, color, emphasis, animation, or placement you want and Tellers applies it. SRT export for platform upload is coming soon.

Open captions for Reels, prompt-styled subtitles, custom word-level highlights (SRT export coming soon)

Multi-Format Export

One episode becomes a landscape YouTube cut, a portrait Reel, and square Instagram posts — all from a single workflow. No re-editing each format manually.

How it works

From recorded episode to published video in four steps. You stay in control by describing exactly what you want with a prompt — no rigid templates.

  1. 01

    Upload your audio or video

    Upload your podcast episode — MP3, WAV, or existing video file. Tellers accepts all common audio and video formats.

  2. 02

    Tellers transcribes and analyzes

    The AI transcribes your audio, identifies key segments, and prepares your content for visual production.

  3. 03

    Describe what you want with a prompt

    Write a prompt describing the video you have in mind — tone, visual style, caption look, which moments to highlight, which formats to produce. Unlike template-based tools, Tellers gives you fine-grained creative control at every step.

  4. 04

    Export and publish

    Tellers renders your episode in every format you asked for — landscape, portrait, square — with captions burned in and ready to upload.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about using Tellers to convert podcasts to video.

How does Tellers convert a podcast to video?
Tellers takes your podcast audio file, transcribes it using AI speech recognition, then generates a video with AI-produced illustrations synced to the speech rhythm. You describe the video you want with a prompt — visual style, caption look, which moments to highlight — and Tellers produces a fully edited video ready for YouTube or social platforms in minutes, not hours.
Can I automatically create YouTube videos from my podcast?
Yes. Tellers produces full-length illustrated videos formatted for YouTube (16:9) from your podcast audio, with automatic captions and visual scenes. Podcasters use Tellers to publish a new YouTube video for every episode without manual video editing.
Does Tellers transcribe podcast audio automatically?
Yes. Tellers transcribes your audio as part of the video production workflow. The transcript drives the captions overlaid on the video and synchronizes the visual illustrations with your speech.
How does prompt-based direction work — how much creative control do I get?
Tellers is entirely prompt-driven. Instead of picking from a fixed set of templates, you write a short brief describing what you want — visual tone, caption style (font, color, emphasis, animation), which topics to highlight, pacing, formats to produce. The agent plans the edit around your direction, so two podcasters uploading the same episode with different prompts will get visibly different videos. That is the main difference between Tellers and template-based audio-to-video tools.
Can Tellers automatically add definitions, references, or B-roll to my podcast video?
Yes. Tellers listens to the episode and automatically surfaces on-screen definitions, references, and relevant B-roll when a concept, person, or place is mentioned — so a conversation about a topic becomes a richer, more educational video without you sourcing overlays by hand. You can steer what gets added (or suppressed) via the prompt.
Can I export SRT subtitle files for YouTube or other platforms?
Today Tellers burns captions directly onto the video, with full prompt-based control over styling. Standalone SRT export for platform upload is on the near-term roadmap and coming soon.
What video formats does Tellers export for podcasters?
Tellers exports landscape (16:9) for YouTube, portrait (9:16) for TikTok and Instagram Reels, and square (1:1) for Instagram feed posts. You can generate all formats from a single episode upload. Burned-in captions are included in each export; SRT sidecar export is coming soon.
Is Tellers suitable for independent podcasters or just large media teams?
Both. Tellers is designed to be accessible to independent podcasters through the app interface, with no coding required. The Tellers API is available for media teams who need to integrate the workflow into their own production stack or automate at scale.
What is the difference between Tellers and a standard video editor for podcasts?
A traditional video editor requires manual work: importing footage, cutting clips, adding text, exporting per format. Tellers automates the entire process from audio input to multi-format video output using AI — and because every step is prompt-driven, you keep real creative control (visual style, caption treatment, what B-roll appears, which moments get highlighted) without dragging clips on a timeline.
