Soundtrap for Storytellers is a browser-based podcast creation platform developed by Soundtrap AB (a former Spotify company) that brings together every stage of the podcasting workflow in a single cloud environment. Podcasters can record multi-track audio, invite remote co-hosts or guests via a shareable link with built-in video chat, and edit their episodes using an interactive transcript \u2014 cutting text in the transcript simultaneously cuts the corresponding audio, dramatically reducing editing time. The platform also includes a library of loops and sound effects from freesound.org for creating custom jingles, automatic audio mastering with EQ, compression, and limiting tailored for podcasts, and a show-management tool for publishing episodes and transcripts directly to Spotify to boost SEO and discoverability.<\/p>\n
Launched in May 2019, the tool was built around solving the biggest pain points for podcasters \u2014 editing, transcribing, remote interviewing, and adding sound effects \u2014 all from one streamlined platform. The transcription feature was later expanded to support French, Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, and Swedish in addition to English. The full suite of features is accessible via desktop browser, with a select set of recording and editing tools available on iOS and Android. An education-focused variant, Soundtrap for Education, is also available for schools and is COPPA, GDPR, and FERPA compliant. Wikipedia notes the product was renamed ‘Soundtrap for Podcasters’ in 2024, though the storytellers URL and branding remain in active use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
