Chapters & timestamped link

Clickable chapters, and a link that starts at the right second

Your article subheadings become markers on the player bar — with no markup. And any link can start playback down to the second.

The problem

A long-form audio is intimidating: you don't know where you're going, or how to find the part you care about. And you can't point someone precisely to the right moment.

How it works

Clickable chapters, and a link that starts at the right second

1

Subheadings become chapters

WeDispatch spots your article's subheadings and drops clickable markers on the player bar. No markup to add.

2

Navigate in one click

The listener jumps to the chapter they want, sees where they are, goes back. Long-form becomes comfortable.

3

Share to the second

Add ?wd_t=133 to an article URL: the player starts at 2:13. Perfect to quote, share, point to the right moment.

The benefits

Zero markup

Chapters are detected from your existing subheadings. Nothing to tag, nothing to maintain.

Second-accurate

The timestamped link starts right on the spot, aligned to word-level timing.

Built to be shared

A link that lands on the key sentence travels better — and brings people back to your article.

Comfortable listening

Orient, skip, go back: long-form becomes as navigable as a podcast.

Who it's for

Media publishing analysis, investigations, interviews — any long content where you want to help listeners orient and share the right excerpt.

Frequently asked
Do I have to tag my subheadings?

No. WeDispatch automatically detects your article's subheadings and turns them into chapters. Nothing to add in your CMS.

How does the second-accurate link work?

Every article page accepts a ?wd_t=SECONDS parameter. For example ?wd_t=133 starts the player at 2:13. You generate these links from the client area.

Does it work on every player?

Yes, it's native to the WeDispatch player. Chapters and the timestamped link work everywhere the player is embedded.

What if my article has no subheadings?

The player simply works without chapters. As soon as you add subheadings, they show up as markers.
