Sharable, discoverable audio.
Integrate Synesthesia into your website. Works with content management systems such as WordPress.
When a friend shares an article with you, you can look at the pictures and get a feel for it before reading. With Synesthesia on your website, the same is true for your podcast episodes. Give prospective listeners a compelling window into the episode with chapter headings, images and pull-quotes.
Individual segements get their own URLs, so they are as sharable as the full episode – with all the Facebook and Twitter bells and whistles.
Transcripts and chapters make your episodes accessible to search engines.
Tell beautiful stories.
Help listeners learn things.
Connect your tribe.
Integrate Synesthesia into your existing app. Or use our platform to build one. Here are some things you can do with Synesthesia:
Add spot illustrations to your episode player. Like in a novel, the illustrations aren't necessary but they make for a rich experience. Good for evergreen podcast series (ex. Serial, S-Town).
In times when only a picture will do, listeners can just glance at the app to see what you're talking about. Your app can even play a chime to notify listeners that there is a picture to look at.
Listeners can leave comments at any point in the episode timeline (like SoundCloud), on any chapter/segment or on any word in a transcript (like the commenting in Google Docs).
Help listeners remember the things they learn by allowing them to store timestamped notes and bookmarks. Great for educational podcasts.
Rather than guessing where to click on a progress bar, listeners can skip around your episodes by clicking on chapter headings, paragraphs or words in the transcript.
Visual ads rather than dictated instructions.
Reward paid users with automatically skipped ads. No need to upload separate ad-free audio – we give you an interface to identify where the ads are in your program and the app automatically skips them on playback.
