HOW IT WORKS

From recording to kit

  1. Upload the episode

    Upload a recording, or import a compatible episode from an RSS feed. Cicadas starts from the recording, not a disconnected text prompt.

  2. Review the source

    Read the transcript preview first, then use the full workspace after signup to confirm speakers, terms, and episode context.

  3. Create the content kit

    After confirming every speaker, generate the fixed show notes, timestamps, newsletter, LinkedIn and X posts, and quotes. Saved show direction can guide tone and preferences.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Cicadas a direct Podsqueeze alternative?

Test Cicadas for transcript-backed written content. Confirm the features you depend on in your current tool before switching.

Do I need an account to see the teaser?

No. The inline preview shows a short speaker-separated transcript before signup. Full-episode processing starts after account creation and email verification.

Who is Cicadas built for?

Cicadas turns webinars, customer interviews, podcasts and executive talks into publish-ready LinkedIn posts, newsletters and pull quotes for B2B marketing teams, in English and French.

Does Cicadas support custom prompts?

Yes. Saved custom prompts create additional transcript-backed assets; they do not override the fixed Content Kit cards. Saved show direction can guide the kit's tone and preferences.

Where can I compare current plans?

The pricing page lists the current recording allowance and workspace limits for each plan.

Can I keep different brand voices separate?

Each workspace has its own voice settings, glossary and custom prompts. Check pricing for the included workspace allowance.
