Disclosure
The voices are synthetic. The engineering is not.
Every episode of this podcast is produced using AI-generated voices. We say so on every episode page, and this is the longer version.
What is AI-generated
The two voices you hear, George and Dave, are synthetic. They are not recordings of people, they are not ADI employees, and they are not actors. The audio is generated from a written script using text-to-speech.
The script itself is drafted with AI assistance from a written brief, then it becomes the episode. Nothing is improvised, because nothing is spoken until the words already exist.
What is not
The questions are real ones ADI Leak Detection gets asked by homeowners, landlords, leaseholders and managing agents. The answers come from how ADI's engineers actually work: the equipment they use, the order they use it in, and what it can and cannot find.
The company is real, the engineers are real, and the work described in these episodes is work ADI does. What is synthetic is the delivery, not the substance.
Why the transcripts are exact
Most podcast transcripts are produced by running finished audio through speech recognition, which introduces errors, particularly on technical terms and names. These are the other way round. The script is written first and the audio is generated from it, so the transcript on each episode page is not an interpretation of what was said. It is what was said, word for word.
That is the reason every episode has a full transcript on the page rather than a summary, and why reading is a genuine alternative to listening rather than a poor substitute for it.
Why we say so
Because you should know what you are listening to. The disclosure appears on every one of the 73 episode pages, near the player, in these words:
This episode was produced using AI-generated voices and script, based on real leak detection questions and the working knowledge of ADI Leak Detection engineers.
It is not in the small print and it is not something you have to go looking for.
What this podcast is not
It is not a substitute for having someone look at your property. An episode can explain how a leak under a solid floor is usually found; it cannot tell you where yours is. If you have a leak, the answer is a survey, not a podcast.
It also covers water leak detection only. Nothing here is advice about gas.
Who publishes it
The podcast is published by ADI Leak Solutions Ltd, trading as ADI Leak Detection, at adileakdetection.co.uk. The audio is distributed through a public RSS feed, and this site is built from that feed.
Think you have a leak?
The engineers whose work these episodes describe are the ones who turn up. ADI Leak Detection covers the whole of the UK.
