AI creates an editable transcript that you can save in the format your next workflow needs.

Podcast transcription turns an episode into show notes, searchable archives, accessibility text, quotes, and social clips. Select podcast audio or a video episode, choose the primary language, and let AI generate a timestamped transcript on your device. Video files are handled by extracting the audio in the browser first. Long episodes need more memory and processing time than short clips, so keep the tab open and use a modern desktop with sufficient memory. After transcription, edit speaker names, brands, and uncommon vocabulary, then export TXT for publishing or SRT and VTT for podcast video and web players.
