Humming Studio Podcast App Launches With Text-Based Editing
The app attacks two podcasting barriers at once, waveform-based editing and platform-dependent discoverability, by making text the editing surface and shipping Podcast 2.0 metadata as the default output.

Tsunagibito launched Humming Studio on August 1, 2026, a podcast creation app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The app transcribes audio in real time, letting creators edit by deleting text blocks. It outputs Podcast 2.0 metadata including transcripts, permanent GUIDs, and chapters, with a free base tier and Pro subscriptions.
Tsunagibito, a Tokyo-based audio media company, released Humming Studio on August 1. The app records audio and converts it to text blocks in real time, so deleting a sentence, a silence, or an unused passage cuts the matching audio and video simultaneously. No waveform zooming or cut-point fine-tuning is required.
The app also outputs Podcast 2.0 standard metadata with each feed: the auto-generated transcript, a permanent program GUID, and chapters. The company positions this as an alternative to relying on major platform recommendations, since full-text search and compatible apps can surface the show. The transcript also makes episodes accessible to people with hearing difficulties.
Humming Studio supports multilingual recording and transcription, a three-band EQ mixer with per-microphone tracks, camera recording with auto-generated subtitles, and cross-device work between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The base app is free; Pro costs 600 yen per month and a one-time Unlock costs 3,000 yen.
