Hi there! I'm Patrick, the creator of LemonSpeak.ππ₯³ποΈ
Why do I spend time building LemonSpeak?
I love podcasts and saw that indie podcasts have a hard time getting discovered. So I wanted to create a tool that would streamline content creation for them, which in turn would help them get discovered and increase visibility. This includes transcripts, show notes, blog posts, tweets, quotes, chapters, summaries, Q&A + polls, and episode titles.
In addition, I've seen that novice podcasters sometimes need help with the audio itself, so LemonSpeak provides metrics on audio quality, speaker pacing, and lets you know if there are a lot of interruptions.
How to use it ...
The process requires as little user interaction as possible. Just upload, specify a few settings, and go. No additional prompts to take up a user's time again, and most of them need to be tweaked anyway.
I see LemonSpeak as a huge time saver for podcasters and I usually tell my customers that LemonSpeak will get you 95% of the way there. Ideally, you see it as a very good employee or agent producing content, but you want to add one or two things. That's how I think LemonSpeak should be used.
"Create once. Distribute forever."
Love to see this! Re-purposing and re-distributing content is underrated.
Beautiful website, by the way.

@thecoolestcool@thatbberg@nikkielizdemere Thanks Eithiriel! Absolutely, and if an episode has "evergreen" content, you can actually post it more than once after you publish it.
Hey Patrick! Thank you for addressing the challenges that indie podcasters may face, like content creation or audio quality improvement. I particularly liked the features such as metrics on audio quality, speaker pacing and that LemonSpeak generates a whole article about an episode to post. Kudos to you for creating such a helpful tool! P.S. Loved that you included the number of podcasters using your product to the website's copy.
@max_kamyshev Thank you Max! I've been thinking on extending the educational aspect of LemonSpeak to help beginners to improve and shape their podcast's format.
Do you have any suggestions?
I have to update that number actually. It's not up to date. π
As a content creator ... literally anything that makes that process easier is a game change to me, and this one is WAY high on the list! Really amazing job on this, team πππ
Oh this is fab! And love that you started by helping the indie podcaster! Congratulations on the launch (sharing with my indie podcaster network now! Hehe π)
@jade_grimwood Thanks a lot Jade for the kind words and for sharing it with your network! That's very much appreciated! π Do you also have a podcast?
LemonSpeak is a company that I trust, and Patrick has been able to help me on everything I have asked about, to get a better understanding of the AI process.
But I have also been using it as a teaching tool for podcast students (as well as for my own work) and we recently worked on a large multi-episode podcast series, with some of the episodes having 6 or 7 guest interviews. Over a two day recording period, I was able to sit in a side room to the recording studio, and mix down the recently completed interviews into mp3s, and then upload them into LemonSpeak.
LemonSpeak was able quickly to make accurate time-coded transcripts (that one of the students mentioned were more accurate and useful than a major podcast platform). But we could also get a one-page AI summary of what was discussed in the episode (and I think this was helpful for the client to do a quick read over).
I would then share the downloaded transcript to the students, who would then go through it, and colour code according to themes that were discussed in the interview. This would then help them later in the editing stage, of collating all the talking points of different guests, around the identified themes of the episode.
I hope that LemonSpeak can grow as a service for the podcasting world, and that other podcasters can see a way to easily integrate it into their worfklow.
@sheikhirfan10 Thanks! LemonSpeak streamlines as much as possible. It will never ask you to ask an AI, but it aims to provide quality results after you hit the process button. Upload, configure, and go.
It also analyzes your episode, calculates metrics, and gives you suggestions on how to improve your podcasting. This is especially helpful for beginners. These include audio quality, interruption score, and speaker page.
Our pricing is also different: We believe a hybrid of monthly subscription and pay-per-use is the best approach. You will never be dropped from your plan because you have exceeded the minutes in your package.
Congratulations on the launch! Thank you for developing an excellent product for podcast creators.
There are some features that I didn't quite understand. Will it automatically insert fixed content into the podcast, or can it be converted into a blog?
Are the improvement suggestions for the entire podcast generated by AI?
I hope more podcast creators can use your product to accelerate the production efficiency of high-quality content.
@brandon_cccc LemonSpeak does not modify the audio file. It uses the episode to create assets that you as a podcast can use to improve your online presence. E.g. blog posts, improved titles, chapters for podcast players, and more :)
@detkov Thanks Nikita! That really depends on the feedback I collect from podcasters. Do you have a podcast? What do you think would improve the product? Thanks again!
LemonSpeak's ability to generate blog posts and tweets from episodes sounds incredibly useful for increasing podcast visibility. Well done, Patrick, and congrats on the launch!
The automated features and marketing capabilities are incredibly valuable. This tool is sure to enhance productivity and discoverability for podcasters!!
