FAQ

Turn Stories Into Podcast Episodes — FAQ

Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai

Can it split one long story into multiple episodes?

Yes, break your manuscript into chapters and generate each as its own episode, keeping the same voice consistent across the whole series.

Does it add a recap for listeners who missed the last episode?

You write a short recap line at the top of each chapter, and the tool narrates it as part of that episode's opening, not a separate file.

How should I end an episode so it doesn't feel abrupt?

Close each chapter on a cliffhanger sentence; the narration lands it as a hook rather than trailing off flatly at the end of the text.

Will the voice stay consistent across a whole season of episodes?

Yes, Claire's voice and settings stay the same across every chapter you render, so listeners hear one continuous narrator throughout the series.
