Transcribe a podcast episode
An episode nobody can read is an episode search engines cannot see. A transcript turns an hour of audio into a page of text that can be indexed, quoted and reused.
Upload the audio file, or paste the YouTube link if the episode is published there.

How it works
- Bring the episode inUpload the MP3 or WAV, or paste the link if the episode is on YouTube.
- Get the transcriptPunctuation and paragraphs are applied, so the result reads like prose rather than a caption file.
- Reshape itWith an account, the content tools turn the transcript into a web article, a script or short social posts.
Show notes without rewriting the episode
Writing show notes from memory takes as long as editing the episode. Starting from the transcript, it is a matter of cutting rather than composing.
The same source also gives you the quotes for social posts and the outline for a newsletter, without listening again.
Two hosts, one transcript
The transcript does not label speakers, which matters more in a conversation than in a monologue. For an interview episode you will be adding the names yourself.
Frequent questions
Can I transcribe an episode from a podcast app?
Not directly from the app. Use the audio file or the YouTube version of the episode.
How long does an hour-long episode take?
Usually a few minutes, and the site shows the estimate before it starts.
Can I get an article out of it?
Yes. With an account, the content tools reshape the transcript into a web article, a script or short posts.
