PodcastStandard / Friendly / Market Collaborative

What it does

Analyzes a transcript to detect ad segments. Outputs time-stamped markers with confidence scores. Does not remove ads โ€” produces metadata that player UIs or downstream workers can act on.

Example output

JSONFeed extension fields attached to each processed item.

{
  "_ad_markers": {
    "segments": [
      { "start": 312.0, "end": 378.5, "confidence": 0.94, "category": "sponsor_read" }
    ],
    "total_ad_seconds": 128.5,
    "content_ratio": 0.95
  }
}

Use cases

  • Skip sponsor reads automatically
  • Podcast analytics โ€” measure ad-to-content ratio
