Transcribe your own podcast
Drop the exported episode (MP3, M4A or WAV) on the box. With Label speakers ticked, each change of speaker starts a new paragraph with the speaker's name and time, and you can rename Speaker A and B to the host and guest before you copy or download.
Podcast on YouTube?
Paste the episode's YouTube link on YouTube to transcript: no download needed. Want the gist first? Summarize it.
Episodes on Spotify or Apple Podcasts
Those apps don't let other tools read their episodes. Most podcasts also publish the MP3 in their RSS feed or on their website: download it there and drop it here.
What podcasters use transcripts for
- Show notes and episode pages that search engines can read.
- Quotes and clips: find the moment by its timestamp.
- Captions: SRT and VTT files for video podcasts.
- Accessibility: a text version for listeners who can't listen.
Questions
Still stuck? Email us.
Can it label the host and the guest?
Yes. Tick Label speakers before you drop the episode. It uses credits: 3 per started 10 minutes, so a 1-hour episode is 18 credits.
Can I transcribe a Spotify podcast?
Not from a Spotify link. Download the episode's MP3 from the podcast's RSS feed or website and drop it here.
How long can the episode be?
Up to 30 minutes free. With credits, up to 2 hours.
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 5 free transcripts a day with no account and no watermark. If you need more, credits start at $5 for 200 transcripts, with no daily limit, videos up to 2 hours and a bulk tool for lists and whole channels. No subscription.
How accurate is the transcript?
When the video has captions we use them as they are, which is the most accurate option. When it doesn't, the audio is transcribed by AI speech recognition (Whisper), which handles accents, fast talk and background music well. Names and slang can still need a quick check.
Which languages work?
Speech-to-text works in about 100 languages and detects the language for you. Captions come in whatever language the creator or platform added.
Can I get timestamps or subtitles?
Yes. Turn on Timestamps to see the time of each line, or download the transcript as an SRT or VTT subtitle file for video editors and YouTube.
Do you store my videos?
No. We never download or keep the video. We keep the text transcript of public videos for 30 days so the next person who asks for the same video gets it instantly. Files you upload never leave your device: only their audio track is sent for transcription, and neither the audio nor the transcript is kept.
