The NotebookLM alternative
The NotebookLM alternative with an editable script
NotebookLM generates the audio for you. Sprep lets you read, rewrite and approve every word first — so the audio you ship is on-brand, legally sound, and ready for an audience. Then it adds custom voices, 70+ languages, and distribution outside Google's walls.
The six pillars
What makes Sprep different
100% editorial control
Every script is fully editable in the Script Editor. Compliance, legal, and comms approve every word before any audio is rendered. No AI hallucinations reach your audience.
Real podcast structure — not text-to-speech
Sprep restructures your document into chapters, conversational pacing and dialogue. Generic TTS reads bullet points; Sprep produces audio people actually finish.
70+ languages from one validated script
Approve once in your master language. Sprep generates broadcast-quality audio in 70+ languages — without re-recording, re-approving, or re-translating one document at a time.
Voice cloning that scales the CEO's calendar
Capture an executive's voice once, securely. Comms drafts the script, you approve, audio renders in their authentic voice — no studio booking required.
Swiss-built. GDPR-compliant. Enterprise-ready.
Documents and audio stay in your workspace. Enterprise customers get Swiss hosting, SSO and dedicated infrastructure for regulated environments.
From upload to published audio in under 15 minutes
Skip the studio, the host, the audio engineer and the 12-hour edit cycle. Upload, approve, ship — same morning.
