Chapters ready to paste into your YouTube description and show notes for your podcast, with timecodes taken from the real subtitles — not estimated by eye.
14 days · 60 minutes · 10 videos · no card
- Chapters in YouTube format, ready to paste into the description
- Timecodes anchored to the real subtitle timings
- Show notes: opening, key points and resources mentioned
- A prose summary for anyone who just wants the gist in four lines
- In the language spoken in the video, or forced to Italian, English, Spanish, French or German
- All text: it doesn't expire while the account stays active
From one upload, echoflow produces timestamped chapters for YouTube and show notes for your podcast, with timecodes taken from the real subtitle timings. Plus a prose summary for anyone who just wants the gist. All of it is text: it stays while the account is active and it's editable before you publish.
The timecodes come from the subtitles, not from a guess
This is the detail that decides whether these outputs are usable. Ask a model "tell me where the second topic starts" and it gives you an estimate, wrong by tens of seconds. Here the chapters are anchored to the real timecodes that speech recognition produces word by word: the chapter lands where the topic actually begins.
On YouTube the difference is visible: a chapter twenty seconds out opens on the tail of the previous point, and viewers notice immediately.
Three outputs, three different uses
- Chapters — a timestamped list in YouTube format, ready to paste into the description. It
respects the platform's conditions: first chapter at 00:00 and a minimum length per chapter.
- Show notes — opening, key points anchored to timecodes, and resources mentioned aloud in the
content. It's a podcast episode description, already written.
- Summary — four to six sentences of prose. Useful for deciding quickly whether a piece is worth
the time.
What we don't do
- We don't publish the description to YouTube or to your podcast host: we hand over the text,
uploading stays yours.
- We don't verify mentioned resources: we collect what was said aloud, we don't browse the web to
confirm a link or a title. Check the addresses.
- We don't identify speakers: show notes won't say "the guest says this", because we don't tell
voices apart.
- These are text outputs: they don't expire while the account stays active. The video you upload is deleted within **24
hours** of processing unless the workspace has set its own retention.
Which plan
Chapters and show notes are included in the trial and in the Pro plan (€19/month for 200 minutes, €49 for 1,000). The summary is also included in the 14-day trial, no card, and in Pro. Already in the trial, Brand Voice moves these texts into your tone rather than a neutral register.
Real chapters and notes, from a real video, are in the demo — no sign-up.
Frequently asked questions
Are the timecodes reliable?
Yes, for a specific technical reason: they aren't estimated by the model but taken from the subtitle timings, which come from speech recognition with per-word timing. That's the difference between a chapter that lands where the topic actually starts and one that's twenty seconds out — an error that's immediately obvious on YouTube.
Do the chapters work on YouTube?
They're in the format YouTube recognises in the description. For the platform to turn them into navigable chapters its own conditions apply — a first chapter at 00:00 and a minimum length per chapter — which we respect. Uploading the description stays your move: we don't publish to your channels.
What's the difference between show notes and the summary?
The summary is a four-to-six sentence prose synopsis: it's for anyone who needs to grasp the topic quickly. Show notes are longer and structured — opening, key points anchored to timecodes, resources mentioned in the content — and are written for a podcast episode description.
Does it pick up resources mentioned out loud?
It collects the ones named in the speech: a book, a tool, a site said aloud. It doesn't browse the web to verify them or retrieve links you never spoke, so check the addresses before publishing.
Which plan?
Chapters and show notes are included already in the trial, and in the Pro plan. Once the trial is over the account is an archive: what you already produced stays readable and downloadable, but nothing new is generated until you pick a plan.
