Importing and Exporting Scripts

Import an existing script into your episode or export the current script as a text file.

Opening the Import/Export Menu#

  1. In the script editor toolbar, click the three-dot menu icon (far right).
  2. A dropdown appears with two options:
    • Import Script
    • Export Script

Importing a Script#

  1. Click Import Script from the dropdown.
  2. The Import Transcript dialog opens with a text area and file upload option.
  3. Choose one of two methods:

Paste Text#

Type or paste your script directly into the text area. The placeholder reads: "Paste your transcript here, or drag and drop a file..."

Upload a File#

  • Drag and drop a file onto the dialog, or click Or Browse Files to select one.
  • Accepted formats: plain text (.txt, .md)
  • Maximum file size: 5 MB
  1. Click Import Transcript to process.
  2. Jellypod parses speaker labels and maps them to your episode's hosts.

Exporting a Script#

  1. Click Export Script from the dropdown.
  2. A .txt file downloads automatically, named after your episode title.
  3. The exported file includes speaker labels in brackets before each speech block:
[Host Name]
The speech block text goes here.

[Other Host]
Their dialogue follows here.

Copying the Script#

You can also copy the script to your clipboard using the Copy script button in the Episode Script panel header (the clipboard icon next to the download icon).

Frequently Asked Questions#

What format should my script be in for importing?

For best results, use speaker names in brackets on their own line (e.g., [John Doe]) with their speech on the next line. Plain text (.txt) and Markdown (.md) files are accepted, up to 5 MB.

Will importing a script replace my existing one?

Yes. Importing a script replaces the current script content. Jellypod parses speaker labels and maps them to your episode's assigned hosts.
