Describe how you write
Save the tone, audience and writing preferences that help an editor recognise your brand. Review drafts to see where that direction needs to be more specific.
Saved brand voice
Keep your voice between recordings.
Save your writing direction and glossary in Cicadas so each new recording starts with the tone, names and product language you want to use.
Saved brand voice applies on paid plans and your first full-kit recording. Other Free recordings use generic writing guidance.

HOW IT WORKS
From recording to kit
Start with the conversation
Upload the recording you want to work from. Listen for the argument, experience or explanation that deserves another audience.
Confirm the source
Review the transcript and confirm who is speaking before generation. Supply names and product terms in your glossary, and correct the source where needed.
Draft, edit and publish
Generate the output, review its wording against the conversation, and edit it in the app. Copy or export the finished draft for your publishing workflow; nothing publishes itself.
Upload MP3, WAV or M4A audio, or MP4 or MOV video. You can also import compatible podcast episodes from an RSS feed.
The per-file cap is 1 GB for audio and 10 GB for video. An upload must fit both the per-file cap and your remaining storage. Remaining storage is your plan’s quota minus stored media and space reserved for uploads or processing already in progress.
Extracted audio needs additional storage after a video is uploaded. An upload can fit initially but still exhaust storage during processing.
WHY CICADAS
Built around the weekly production job
Keep vocabulary close
Supply people's names, product names and specialist terms in the glossary. A glossary guides the workflow; you still review the transcript for mistakes.
Keep an editor in the loop
Your freelancer or agency can start from a draft. Keep final decisions about phrasing, emphasis and approval with the people responsible for the content.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I review the draft before publishing?
Yes. Confirm speakers before generation, then check the draft's wording, attribution and context against the recording and transcript. You decide what to edit, copy or export.
Which recordings can I use?
Start with a webinar, customer interview, podcast or executive talk you have permission to use. Choose a conversation with a clear idea and enough context to explain it accurately.
When does saved brand voice apply?
Saved brand voice applies on paid plans and your first full-kit recording. Other Free recordings use generic writing guidance.
