Podcast name generator
Type in your topic, who the show is for and the style you want, and get twelve podcast name ideas instantly. Once you have recorded, Hilite also suggests names drawn from your own transcript in the publishing step.
The name suggestions appear during publishing, once your audio has been transcribed.
Where the name generator sits in the flow
- 1
Record or upload your audio
Record straight into the browser, or upload an episode you have already made. Even a rough first take is enough to work from.
- 2
Let it transcribe
Hilite converts the audio to text automatically. The transcript is what the naming suggestions are built from, so the more you have said, the better they get.
- 3
Open the publishing step
Move through to publishing. This is where the name suggestions appear, alongside the rest of your episode and show details.
- 4
Choose, edit, publish
Take a suggestion as it is, or use it as a starting point and change it. Then publish the episode and the show under the name you picked.
Keep working inside the Hilite editor
Your uploaded files open directly in a focused editor view. Arrange your clips, preview the timeline, adjust transitions, and export when the track sounds perfectly right.
- Review the transcript in context
- Keep timestamps with the words
- Copy, export, or keep editing

Built for every kind of audio
Whatever you are making, this tool helps you get to a cleaner, more useful result, then hand off to Hilite to enhance and polish.
- Names from your actual wordsA generator fed a keyword can only recombine that keyword. One fed your transcript can pull the phrase you kept returning to without noticing.
- The episode exists firstNaming in the abstract is where most shows stall. Naming something that already exists is a far easier decision, because you can hear what you made.
- No extra tool to learnIt sits inside publishing, next to your episode title and description, rather than being a separate thing you have to go and find.
- Change it wheneverDirectories pull your show title from the feed, so renaming later updates everywhere. Nothing here locks you in.
Made for podcasters and their teams
Trim the dead air off the top and tail, and every recording is ready to edit, enhance, and publish.
FAQ
Common questions
If you do not see your question here, the support team replies within one business day.
- Yes. Use the generator at the top of the page with a few words about your show. Once you record episode one, Hilite can also suggest names drawn from what you actually said.
- A few minutes is enough to work from. A full episode gives better suggestions, simply because there is more of your own language to draw on.
- In the publishing step, after your audio has been transcribed. The video above walks through the whole flow from recording to published episode.
- Yes. Treat them as a starting point. Most people take a suggested phrase and adjust it rather than using one word for word.
- Yes. Podcast directories read the show title from your feed, so updating it in Hilite updates it everywhere within a day or two. Renaming is much less painful than people expect.
- No, and you should check yourself before committing. Search the name in Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You are looking for nothing large and nothing in your own category.
Record it first, name it second
The show that exists is much easier to name than the one that does not.
