Improve accessibility
Publish a transcript alongside the episode for listeners who prefer or need text.
Repurpose episodes
Turn the transcript into blog drafts, social posts, newsletters, or subtitle files.

Podcast transcript workflow
This page narrows the promise to podcast files and direct episode media links, not unsupported podcast platforms.
Podcasts become easier to publish and repurpose when every episode has a transcript. Search quotes, pull chapters, draft show notes, and make the episode accessible.
Paste a direct MP3 or audio file URL, or upload an MP3, WAV, M4A, or video version of the episode. Transcripto returns timestamped text and export options for publishing workflows.
This first version focuses on direct media links and uploaded episode files. RSS feed ingestion and Spotify episode URLs are not part of this page yet.
Built for episode production
A podcast transcript usually becomes more than an archive. Producers use it to draft show notes, extract quotes, write newsletters, and create clips with captions.
Because the transcript keeps timestamps, you can move from a quote back to the source audio while editing or fact-checking the episode.
Direct audio link vs podcast platform link
A direct media URL points to the actual audio or video file, such as an MP3 file. That is supported by the link flow when the file type and size pass validation.
A Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or RSS page is different. Those platform pages are not claimed as supported here until dedicated ingestion is built.
