Transcribe your podcast

A transcript makes every episode searchable, accessible and quotable - and gives you the raw material for show notes in minutes.

The short answerTo transcribe a podcast episode, upload the final MP3 or WAV to SpeakToWords. You get a punctuated, timestamped transcript, SRT and VTT for video versions, and on Pro an AI summary that is a good first draft of the show notes.

  3. PublishPaste the transcript on the episode page; add SRT to the video version.

Why transcripts help a podcast

Search engines and AI assistants cannot listen to audio; they read text. An episode page with its transcript can be found for everything said in the episode, not just its title. It also makes the show accessible to people who cannot listen.

Questions

Is it free?

A free account transcribes 15 minutes with no card and shows the opening of each transcript; the full text unlocks with the 7-day trial or a plan from €9.99 a month for 500 minutes (€4.00 for 3 months until 6 December).

How accurate is it?

On clear speech, upwards of 99% of words come back right, punctuated and with a timestamp on every line. Background music, people talking over each other, strong accents and unusual names cost accuracy; the editor plays the audio from any line so you can fix those quickly.

Does it label who is speaking?

Not yet. Every line carries the second it was said, so you can jump to it and listen, and add names in the editor. If speaker labels are essential, see the comparison pages for tools that offer them.

What happens to my file?

It is processed for you only, encrypted in transit, and never used to train anything.
