FOUR-STEP EPISODE WORKFLOW
How to transcribe a podcast episode
Move from one local recording to a checked transcript without creating a separate podcast-only workflow.
- 01
Choose the local episode file
Select one supported audio or video file. The shared workbench checks its type, size, and duration; it does not fetch a feed or platform URL.
- 02
Set language, speakers, and terms
Choose the spoken language, enable speaker labels if useful, and add context or key terms for names and specialist vocabulary.
- 03
Sign in and start processing
After sign-in, the duration-based credit check runs before direct upload and the background transcription workflow begins.
- 04
Review, rename, and export
Compare uncertain phrases with the source, rename hosts and guests, save revisions, and export the transcript format you need.
PREPARE THE RECORDING
Prepare an episode for a cleaner review
A transcript starts with the sound in the episode. These choices can reduce the amount of correction without promising fixed accuracy.
Keep each voice clear
Use close, steady microphones when possible and check that every host and guest stays audible without clipping.
Reduce crosstalk and room echo
Overlapping speech, distant voices, echo, and distortion can create more uncertain phrases and speaker corrections.
Keep music below speech
Strong beds, stings, and effects that cover words can make the spoken content harder to review. This tool does not remove them.
Add names and terminology
Provide the show name, people, brands, abbreviations, and specialist terms as context or key terms before processing.
FROM VOICES TO A WORKING DRAFT
Review the episode before you reuse a quote
Use the retained recording and timestamps to verify the lines that matter. Rename speakers, revise the text, and save a version before export.
- Play the source from a segment or uncertain phrase and compare what was heard
- Rename source speaker IDs to the host and guest names after checking the diarization
- Edit wording and punctuation while preserving the source segment timing
- Save the revision, then export TXT, Markdown, SRT, or VTT with the options you choose
AFTER THE RECORDING
Put a reviewed podcast transcript to work
A checked episode transcript can support accessibility, search, research, and downstream editing without pretending to automate publishing.
Accessible episode pages
Use the reviewed transcript as source material for an episode page or accessibility workflow you publish yourself.
Searchable archives
Keep editable text that helps your own team find a topic, name, or moment across recorded conversations.
Quote and research review
Return to timestamps before reusing a host or guest quote, then save corrections in the transcript revision.
Captions and editing handoff
Export SRT or VTT for a timed-text workflow, or TXT and Markdown for downstream editing tools.
PODCAST TRANSCRIPTION FAQ
Before you transcribe a podcast
Practical answers about local episode files, hosts and guests, terminology, credits, source retention, and what the tool does not generate.
Yes. Upload one local audio or video file from the shared supported-media list. This page does not fetch RSS feeds, episode URLs, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or other podcast platforms.
Enable speaker labels and choose automatic, exact, or ranged speaker counts. After processing, review the diarization and rename source speaker IDs to the host and guest names. Overlapping speech can still need manual correction.
Add the show name, people, brands, abbreviations, and specialist vocabulary as context or key terms before processing. These hints can help recognition, but they do not guarantee every term will be correct.
No. The workflow transcribes the speech in the file it receives. It does not record, remove noise, clean audio, mix tracks, edit, or transcode the episode, so prepare the clearest source you have.
No. The supported outputs are the reviewed transcript as TXT or Markdown and timed transcript cues as SRT or VTT. The tool does not summarize, translate, publish, or distribute your episode.
Upload one non-empty supported file up to 5 GB. Registration adds 10 signup credits, one credit covers one minute, and processing starts only after sign-in and a successful duration-based credit check.
Completed source media is available for review for up to seven days from task creation and can be deleted earlier. Your saved transcript, revisions, and supported exports remain available after the media expires or is deleted.
ONE EPISODE, A REVIEWABLE TRANSCRIPT
Give your next podcast a text version you can verify
Upload a local episode file, check names and uncertain phrases against the recording, then export the revision you trust.
