How to get a podcast transcript

1. Find the episode

Copy the episode link from Apple Podcasts, the show's RSS feed (gives the latest episode) or a direct MP3 link.

2. Paste it here

Press Get transcript. If the publisher offers a transcript we use it; otherwise the audio is transcribed with AI, about a minute for a long episode.

3. Copy or download

Copy the text for show notes or a blog post, or download TXT or SRT with timestamps.

Transcripts for show notes, SEO and accessibility

A transcript makes an episode searchable by Google, gives you quotes for social posts and show notes in minutes, and makes the show accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners. Spotify links can't be transcribed because Spotify's audio is DRM-protected; use the show's Apple Podcasts link or RSS feed instead, they carry the same episodes.

The free tool handles episodes up to 60 minutes. Longer episodes, a whole feed, or automatic transcripts for every new episode work with the Podcast Transcription API. See also podcast show notes and SEO.

FAQ

Which podcast links work?

Apple Podcasts episode or show links, any podcast RSS feed (the latest episode, or a specific one with the API) and direct audio file URLs such as .mp3 or .m4a.

Can I transcribe a Spotify podcast?

Not from the Spotify link, because Spotify's audio is DRM-protected. Most shows are also on Apple Podcasts or have a public RSS feed: use that link instead.

How long does it take?

If the publisher provides a transcript, a second or two. Otherwise about a minute for an hour-long episode.

Is there a length limit?

The free tool handles episodes up to 60 minutes. The API handles up to 4 hours.
