Heptabase Updates - Import Podcast Episode, Transcript and Insight, Whiteboard in Right Sidebar, and more!

Dear Heptabase User,

In the past few weeks, we’ve shipped many new features. You can find them in the “Shipped” section of our roadmap page, and click on the title to watch a brief introduction video!


Media Card : Import Podcast Episode

In the latest version, you can search for podcast episodes in Heptabase and add them to your card library as audio cards. After that, you can tag, mention, or transcribe those audio cards!


Media Card : Transcript and Insight

You can now transcribe your audio or local video files in Heptabase. The processing happens in the background, so you don’t have to wait on that screen.

Once the transcription is done, you can generate insights from the transcript and navigate to the source block with a click.

We’ll soon support YouTube video transcriptions, stay tuned!

Please note that each user can transcribe up to 5 hours of content for free each month during the beta testing period. We might make adjustments to this in the future.


We’ve upgraded our right sidebar whiteboard panel! Now you can zoom, pan, and even create or link to cards right there. You can open a card in a new tab and see all the whiteboards it appears on in the right panel.


This week, Greg shared a tutorial on how to use tags in Heptabase. We hope you enjoy it!

Antone shared a quick review of our new podcast and transcript feature. (P.S. We’ve already improved the podcast player in the mobile app. Now you can see a thumbnail of your podcast card and drag the playback progress bar to adjust the segment you're playing.)
