New project

Podstudio

The teleprompter that listens. Podstudio is a podcast studio that runs in your browser. The script scrolls as you speak, and it records lossless WAV with every retake, cough and ad-lib marked, on your own server. Free, open source and self-hosted.

Podstudio recording: the current line of the script is marked, the level meter sits in the target zone, and Cough, Retake and Ad-lib are one key away

Why I'm building it

I'm AuDHD, and staying on point is hard. I wanted one simple web app where I can record, with a script that follows along as I talk and waits when I wander. Today that job is spread across a recorder, cleanup plugins for my noisy, untreated basement, and Podscriber for titles, descriptions and social drafts. Podstudio pulls the recording side into one spot, with hotkeys for sound effects, music and clips, like the radio automation systems I grew up on.

What it does

A prompter that follows you

Voice follow scrolls the script as you talk, and holds your place when you go off script.

Lossless recording

Mono or stereo WAV at 16 or 24-bit, saved every five seconds and sent to your server as you record.

Marked, not cut

Retake, cough and ad-lib are one key each. The raw file stays whole; the export adds an edit with your last take of each line.

A guest and a producer

A six-digit code and a waiting room. Your guest records on their own device while you talk on your usual call.

Hotkey pads

Nine sounds on the number keys, ducked under your voice and saved as their own track.

Yours to run

One small server with two-factor sign-in, a guided installer, and no subscription. MIT licensed.

Where it stands

Podstudio isn't released yet. Recording, voice follow, guests and exports work today, and the first test on a real server is under way. Expect rough edges and changes between versions until the first release.
