Frequently Asked Questions

What types of papers can I convert?

PodHive works with any academic paper in PDF format, arXiv links, or DOIs. We support all research fields – from computer science and physics to biology, psychology, and humanities. If it's published research, we can turn it into a podcast.

How long does it take to generate a podcast?

Podcasts are generated depending on the complexity of the paper. Quick summaries (5-10 min) are typically faster, while long-form deep dives (80-120 min) may take a few minutes. You'll get a notification when it's ready.

How does the Q&A feature work?

While listening, you can pause at any time and type or type a question. Our AI has full context of the paper and can answer questions about methodology, clarify terminology, explain figures, or dive deeper into specific sections. It's like having the authors available to answer your questions.

Can I use PodHive offline?

We are working on Android and iOS apps which support offline listening. Q&A features require an active connection on all plans.

What languages are supported?

We currently support papers in English and German, with podcasts generated in English or German. We're working on expanding to support papers in multiple languages and multilingual podcast generation. Join our waitlist if you're interested in other languages.

Can I share podcasts with other Pro users?

Yes, pro users can share podcasts with other pro users. Research Teams subscribers get additional collaboration features including shared libraries, team playlists, and annotation tools. Note that listeners may need a PodHive account depending on your sharing settings.
