Questions and answers

What is Soundko?

A podcast player for the whole home, and a studio that turns an idea, a homework sheet or a report into a podcast with real voices, sound and music.

Is it free?

Listening is free: search, follow, a profile for everyone at home, a kids' space. Each account can also make one short podcast for free, in either studio.

Is it safe for my children?

A kid profile has no ads, no tracking and no social features. A child hears only what a grown-up allowed, and leaving a kid profile can ask for a parent PIN. Children don't type prompts or talk to an AI.

Who writes the podcasts?

AI writes the script and voices it from your brief, and we check it before it plays: stories for children follow strict rules on what they may contain. Every episode says it was made with AI. You can read the script and change a line.

Do you use my documents to train AI?

No. The files and text you give us are used to make your episode, and are never used to train models. Original files are deleted after 30 days.

Can I listen in my usual podcast app?

Yes. Each profile has a private feed address for a podcast app, and you can also listen in any browser, on a phone or a computer.

How do I delete my data?

Deleting an episode removes it from your account, and its files are gone within 30 days. To delete your account or ask a question about your data, write to hello@soundko.com.
