💰$0–47/mo — Otter.ai ($17/mo) removed. Descript does transcription natively as part of the editing step.

⚡Descript handles both transcription and clip editing in one tool — one fewer subscription, one fewer API handoff, same output quality.

Step-by-step guide

Transcribe, clean, and clip in Descript

Descript25–35 min

Import or record your podcast directly in Descript. It auto-generates a timestamped transcript with speaker labels in minutes — no separate transcription tool needed. Use the Remove Filler Words feature to clean the audio automatically, then use the transcript to select your best 60–90 second clips. Descript lets you edit audio and video by editing text: delete a word from the transcript and it disappears from the audio. Export clips in square (1:1) for Instagram/LinkedIn and vertical (9:16) for TikTok/Reels.

Heat score:37Rising

💡Remove Filler Words handles all um, uh, and long pauses in one click

💡Studio Sound AI dramatically improves audio quality recorded on laptop mics

💡Export the transcript as TXT after cleaning — it is your Claude input for the next step

✓Output: Full clean transcript + 2–3 short video/audiogram clips in multiple aspect ratios

Extract content assets with Claude

Claude10–15 min

Paste the full transcript into Claude and run one extraction prompt: 5 tweet-sized quotes, 3 LinkedIn insight paragraphs, 1 TikTok hook line, a blog post outline, and a short episode description for show notes. One prompt, seven content pieces. Claude handles long transcripts up to 200K tokens without losing context — so the LinkedIn posts actually understand the episode's argument, not just surface quotes.

Heat score:85Rising

💡Paste the full transcript and prompt: Extract (1) 5 standalone quotes under 280 chars, (2) 3 LinkedIn posts building on one insight, (3) the most surprising claim, (4) a 3-bullet episode summary

💡Ask Claude to identify clippable moments — short 30–60 second exchanges that work standalone

💡Have Claude write 3 episode title options ranked by click-through potential

✓Output: 7+ content pieces ready for editing: quotes, posts, hooks, and show notes

Design quote cards and covers with Canva

Canva15 min (5 min with saved template)

Use Canva to turn the best quotes Claude extracted into shareable quote cards. Create a reusable quote card template with your podcast branding (colors, logo, episode number). Also create platform-specific episode cover art — square for Instagram, rectangular for Twitter performs much better than a generic thumbnail.

Heat score:69Rising

💡Create one Canva template with your branding locked and only the quote text unlocked — updates take 2 minutes

💡Use high-contrast text on dark backgrounds for quote cards — they get more saves

💡Export 5 quote cards per episode: one for each quote Claude extracted

✓Output: 5 branded quote cards + episode cover art for each platform

Schedule the full week with Buffer

Buffer15–20 min

Load all your content pieces into Buffer and schedule them across the week. A single episode can fuel 7+ posts: Day 1 episode announcement, Day 2 audiogram clip, Day 3 quote card, Day 4 LinkedIn insight post, Day 5 TikTok clip, Day 6 second quote card, Day 7 call for next episode topic. Space them out so your feed stays active all week from one recording session.

Heat score:22Heating Up

💡Use Buffer Start Page as a link-in-bio that auto-updates with your latest episode

💡Post the audiogram clip on LinkedIn with the full written post as caption — LinkedIn boosts native video

💡Schedule posts Tuesday–Friday; Monday and weekend posts get less engagement for most podcast audiences

✓Output: 7+ posts scheduled across LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok for the week

Automate the pipeline with Make

Make60–90 min to build (one-time)

Once the manual workflow is proven, use Make to automate: trigger on new Descript export ready → send transcript to Claude via API → create Canva designs from template via API → draft in Buffer. This reduces a 60-minute repurposing workflow to about 10 minutes of review and approval.

💡Start with just the Descript export → Claude step before adding Canva and Buffer

💡Add a human review step before Buffer auto-posts — one bad AI output can damage brand trust

💡Use Make error handling so a failed Canva API call does not break the whole pipeline

✓Output: Fully automated pipeline: 1 recording session → 7+ weekly posts
