Transcribing your podcast...

Long episodes take several minutes. You can close this tab if email-when-done is checked.

Built for podcasters + show editors

Show notes in one paste

Upload the episode, download the TXT. Speaker labels inline, chapter timestamps ready for your Spotify/YouTube description, blog post written in 10 minutes instead of 4 hours.

Video podcast subtitles

Export SRT or WebVTT with speaker labels. Drop straight into Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve: or upload alongside your YouTube video for clean captions.

Text-based episode editing

JSON export gives you every word with start/end timestamps. Pipe into Descript, Reaper, or a custom workflow: edit by highlighting text instead of scrubbing.

How podcast transcription works

  1. Drag your episode onto the drop zone, MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, up to 2GB.
  2. Leave speaker labels and chapter markers on (they are the defaults). Pick your output format.
  3. We check the duration + price it up before you spend any tokens. Click Transcribe.
  4. Download speaker-labeled TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON. Chapter markers ship alongside, ready to paste.
