The podcast editor that thinks in sentences

Overtone turns your recording into a transcript you can edit like a document — so post-production stops eating the week you meant to spend making the show.

Broadcast sound without the broadcast booth

No treated room, no expensive mic? One pass strips the air-conditioning hum and lifts speech to a level that survives earbuds on a bus.

Sound sharper, in one pass

Javi / So these nuggets are made from chicken, but they're made to um um um emulate the taste of like non-chicken nuggets. / Sounds tasty. / Have you tried vegan nuggets yet? They're a pretty cool alternative to traditional chicken nuggets, / made with all plant-based ingredients like soy or pea protein. / Not only do they taste pretty good, they're also a healthier option with less saturated fat. / Plus, they're cruelty-free and better for the water table.

And yes, it's a video editor too

Good shows get made twice — once for ears, once for screens. Overtone records, cuts, captions, and publishes both from one project.

We flipped the script on post-production

Overtone is a full-strength editor that behaves like a plain document. It transcribes your files in seconds, so you can cut a scene by deleting a sentence — or drop into a multitrack timeline when you want the knobs.

Everything you need for the whole production week

We built this side by side with working producers, then cut out the parts of audio and video post that nobody enjoys.

Record

Capture multitrack audio, or video from your webcam — or bring guests into the remote studio and record everyone locally.

Transcribe

Transcripts land at 96.4% accuracy in under a minute, plus the fastest correction tools we know how to build.

Collaborate

Live co-editing, threaded comments, and automatic cloud versions make it painless to work with a co-host in another time zone.

Promote

Cut clips with animated captions in a couple of minutes, or start from an audiogram template built for a vertical feed.

Share

Send a private review link with per-person access and read receipts, or embed a player whose transcript is fully searchable.

Publish

One click sends the finished episode to a dozen hosting destinations, including Sparrowcast, Tidebox, Castiron, Anchorline, Feedwell, and Portway.

Don't just take our word for it

"@overtoneapp is the editor I keep recommending in every producer group chat. I still catch myself saying 'wait, that's it?' after a cut. Genuinely a magic trick."

Thanks to @priyavaldes for the nudge toward @overtoneapp — plugged in my settings for the field recorder and my edit time is basically nothing now. Episodes going out in batches.

"I fell hard for @overtoneapp. It transcribed a two-hour tape without complaint and made editing The Long Middle enormously easier for my very word-shaped brain."
