What this helps you do¶

Turn an article into a two-voice conversation, then download the MP3 or embed the player on your site. The player ships with a transcript, which puts real, crawlable first-hand text on the page — content an answer engine can retrieve.

Audio lives in the desktop app under Audio in the sidebar, split into three tabs: Generate, History, and Analytics.

Before you start¶

Set the project's website first. Playback is locked to your project domain plus himoose.com, so Hi, Moose needs to know the domain before it will generate anything. If it isn't set, the Generate tab shows a Set website prompt instead of the composer.

Audio availability depends on your plan: BYOK Premium and BYOK Agency include 15 generations per month, managed plans are unlimited, and the free plans don't include audio.

Choosing a source¶

Three ways to get content in:

• Article URL — paste a published URL and click Fetch. Hi, Moose extracts the content and shows the domain, word count, and estimated read time. The article has to be publicly reachable, not behind a login or paywall.
• Paste text — give the episode a title and paste the script or article text directly.
• Upload file — drop in a .txt, .md, .docx, .doc, or .pdf. The file is read on your device and its text drops into the paste flow.

Shaping the conversation¶

Focus (optional) steers what the conversation digs into. There are quick suggestions for common angles: key takeaways, explain it to a beginner, push back on the argument, who should care.

Length sets the target runtime:

Language defaults to matching the article. Override it to change both the script and the voices.

Voices come as host and guest pairings, with three presets — warm + curious, calm + analytical, bright + skeptical — or a custom pairing you pick yourself.

Advanced direction¶

Optional, and everything left blank follows the article and the voice pairing. Seven fields are available: host direction, guest direction, scene, style, pace, accent, and extra context.

• Scene: studio interview, fireside chat, panel discussion, phone-in, walk-and-talk
• Style: explanatory, debate, storytelling, interview, casual
• Pace: slower, natural, faster
• Accent: American (neutral), British, Australian, Irish, Indian, or neutral international

Any of these can be replaced with a custom description in your own words.

Extra context is for what the article doesn't say — how to pronounce a product name, claims to avoid, who the audience is.

Once you've got settings you like, Save as project default reuses them for the next episode in this project.

Generating¶

Click Generate audio. The composer shows an estimated render time before you start. Generation runs in the background, so you can leave the screen and keep working — the finished episode appears in the sidebar Recents list, and clicking it opens that episode directly.

When it's done you get:

• A player with seek, 15-second skip back and forward, and playback speed
• Download MP3
• Share to copy the audio link
• The full transcript, with turn and word counts, and a copy button
• Embed on your site, covered in Player & Embed
• Regenerate with edits and Edit settings, to adjust direction and run it again

History¶

The History tab lists every episode in the current project with its length, creation date, and status. Episodes are scoped per project, so switching projects changes what you see.

• Search episodes by name
• Filter by All, Ready, or Needs attention
• Play, download, open the embed options, or open the full episode
• Retry a failed episode

Statuses are Ready, Processing, Playing, Failed, and Canceled.

Where to go from here¶

• Player & Embed — theme, layout, accent color, and the embed code.
• Listening Analytics — what happens after the player is on a page.
