Headliner

Headliner turns podcast audio into shareable audiograms and captioned video clips in minutes.

Overview

Headliner is purpose-built for podcasters and audio creators who need visual content for social feeds. It creates audiograms — animated waveform videos with your artwork and captions — plus full-length captioned videos, transcript-based editing, and automated episode promo videos. Automatic transcription generates animated captions in multiple styles, and templates are sized for every social platform. It integrates with major podcast hosts for one-click promo creation.

The transcription engine powers much of the product: captions are generated with animated styles that perform well in silent social feeds, and transcripts can be edited as text to trim the underlying video. Headliner’s automated episode promo feature generates a ready-made video trailer whenever a new episode drops.
