Effortlessly add chapters to media

Automatically organize and summarize long audio into summaries with headings with Speechmatics' Chapters capability.

Create engaging, digestible content

Transitions

Audio split into chapters

Speechmatics automatically detects natural transition points to divide files into chapters. We use best-in-class machine learning models to identify optimal places for chapters based on topic changes.

Titled

Automatically headered

As well as being divided up and summarized, each chapter is given a heading to summarize the content within it, making it easy to scan and find the most relevant and engaging content.

Seamless

Reduce load & processes

Save time by skipping the part where you review and format a transcript manually, and speed up workflows and processes by using the inbuilt timestamps to use chapters and their summaries seamlessly.

A sneak peak of Chapters in action

Our Product Manager, Rohan, demonstrates Chapters in practice.

In the age of bite-sized content and social media, listeners lose interest in long, unbroken media.

Now you can create easy-to-read chapters of your favorite podcasts. Everything is generated automatically, giving the audience handy summaries about what they've missed and the ability to skip to that section of the audio.

We use best-in-class machine learning models to identify optimal places for chapter markers based on topic changes in media files.

FAQs

Can I specify how many chapters will be generated?

No - the number of chapters created is not managed by the user. A combination of our cutting-edge ASR and the best Large Language Models automatically segment the media into chapters.

How can I access Chapters?

We're excited to launch Chapters alongside our other existing capabilities as part of our move into Speech Intelligence.

Chapters is now available through the Speechmatics API which you can try today!

What are the benefits of using Chapters?

In the age of bite-sized content and social media, listeners lose interest in long, unbroken media. Creating properly timed chapter breaks in long audio files is a tedious and time-consuming process. Listening through and marking timestamps is inefficient, monopolizing valuable human attention.

Chapters enable users to jump to the points of interest. This removes the need to manually mark up your media, satisfying that natural urge to make content easier to parse, and giving you grouped information to use in other workflows.
