Q – Can I edit, delete and pause my podcasts and podcast episodes
A – Our self-serve platform allows the user to edit, delete and pause both a podcast and specific podcast episodes
Q – How does your section recommendation engine work
A – Our AI technology scans a client website in order to categorise all of the site's sections and based on our branded podcast suitability algorithm it recommends the sections that work best as a branded podcast. Within the UI a client will also have access to the full list of site sections so that if a client prefers they can select the site section themselves.
Q- How does the platform select the appropriate articles to create brand podcasts episodes out of.
A – This is based on the site sections that the client finally selects. As the platform simply selects all of the articles in this section. Our UI then enables the client to review the articles listed and select the one’s they think are appropriate for the branded podcast.
Q – Which types of content work best as a branded podcast.
A – We typically recommend selecting content with at least 500 words and content that is of either general or specific interest to your customers such as articles, blogs, white papers, news, stories, etc. Currently, our algorithm is setup not to recommend articles shorter than 500 words.
Q – Which podcast hosts do you distribute the branded podcast to.
A – We focus on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and Amazon as this is where the majority of the audience are and they also provide the cleanest and safest environments for sharing a branded podcast. From here all of the remaining podcast's hosts can access the branded podcast once they have been approved by the hosts' rigorous standards.
Q – How long does it typically take to create and distribute a brand podcast
A – A client can create and distribute a brand podcast in a matter of minutes. However, we recommend clients take some time to familiarise themselves with the platform and the branded podcasts produced by the platform to ensure they reflect and are consistent with a client’s brand values and messaging guidelines. In terms of distribution this is done in real-time, however, it can take 1 to 3 days for the podcast's hosts (iTunes, Spotify, Google, Amazon) to approve the podcast.
Q – How do you ensure you convert the relevant parts of a piece of online content into audio.
A – Our AI technology is designed to select the relevant content sections and spot content elements that are not suitable for a podcast. In addition, we provide a client review and edit function so that clients can also tailor the content even more to the branded podcast experience.
Q – Does the AudioHarvest audio player work differently on mobile friendly sites compared to desktop sites.
A - It depends if your website is using AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) framework or SPA (single-page application). However, we can safely say there is no significant difference in performance.
Q- Where can I place the audio player on the webpage
A – Our audio player widget has the ability to be placed almost anywhere on the page. But we do recommend that it sits above the fold and nearby the article title and description as this makes for the best user experience.
Q – How high is the audio quality.
A – Of the highest quality as we use the latest neural and AI technology to create the voices that truly replicate human speech. Just have a listen and decide for yourself, [insert play button]
Q – Which languages’ and countries do you support
A - We provide languages and voices for all the major countries and languages across the globe such as; English, French, Arabic, Hindi, Sanskrit, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, German, Italian. If you require another language please contact us at, info@audio-harvest.com
Q – What type of reporting do you provide
