What you get

What a usable podcast transcript actually needs.

Host and guest labels

Most podcast tools give you a single text block. We run pyannote diarization so a two-host interview reads as 'Host:' / 'Guest:' from the first line. Panels with three or four speakers stay separated.

RSS-aware ingestion

Paste an Apple Podcasts or Spotify show URL and we resolve the underlying RSS feed, pick the latest episode, and stream the audio directly. No download step, no copy-paste of an MP3 link.

Five export formats

TXT for show notes. DOCX for the editor. SRT and VTT for accessible audiograms. JSON if you're feeding the transcript into a search index or an LLM. One run, all five formats.

Edit and re-export

Open the transcript in our editor, fix a misheard name or jargon term, and the SRT and VTT update with it. No round-trip through a desktop captioning app or a separate cleanup tool.

Why a real transcript matters

Apple's auto-captions vs a real podcast transcript.

✗ Apple Podcasts auto-captions

Available on a fraction of episodes, locked to the Apple app, and stripped of speaker labels. Useful inside the player, useless for show notes or search.

No speaker labels — hosts and guests merge
Locked inside the Apple Podcasts app
Not available on every episode
Can't export DOCX, SRT, or JSON
Spotify and Overcast users see nothing

✓ A real Whipscribe transcript

Speaker-labelled paragraphs, every export format, and an editor for fixing names. Drops straight into show notes, an audiogram, or a podcast search index.

Host / Guest labels on every line
Properly punctuated paragraphs
Word-level timestamps
100+ languages, auto-detected
TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX, JSON — all five

Sample output

Speaker-labelled. Click-to-seek. Exportable.

This is what a real podcast transcript looks like. Click any word to jump the audio; edit any line and the SRT updates with it.

HOST 00:00:11 I want to start with the moment you decided to leave the previous job, because I think most listeners don't know that part of the story.

GUEST 00:00:19 Yeah, it's funny — I tell people now it was a clean decision, but at the time I went back and forth for about four months. I had two kids, a mortgage, and the offer wasn't in writing.

HOST 00:00:32 What pushed it over the line?

GUEST 00:00:34 Honestly, a conversation with my wife on a Tuesday night. She said 'you've been miserable for a year, you're allowed to take the risk.' I emailed the offer back the next morning.

FAQ

Podcast transcript questions, answered.

Which podcast platforms do you support?

Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and any podcast that publishes a public RSS feed (which is almost all of them). Paste the show URL or the direct episode URL — we resolve the feed and pull the audio. Private or paywalled feeds are not supported.

How long does a one-hour episode take?

Two to four minutes for English on a clean recording. Slightly longer for low-resource languages, heavy background music, or in-the-field interviews with traffic noise. Live progress shows in the queue and you get a browser notification when it finishes.

Will it correctly label three or four speakers?

Yes — the diarization model handles up to about eight distinct speakers. Two-host shows and host-plus-guest interviews are the cleanest case. Roundtables with overlapping speech are harder; you may need to fix a few segment boundaries in the editor.

Can I transcribe a podcast I don't own?

For personal use (research notes, accessibility, your own quote-checking) — yes. For republishing the transcript publicly — you need permission from the show. We require a rights attestation at upload to keep the platform clean.

Does it handle thick accents and non-English shows?

Whipscribe runs Whisper-large-v3, which covers 100+ languages with auto-detect. Accuracy on heavy regional accents (broad Scottish, Singlish, mixed-language code-switching) is good but not perfect — expect 5-12% Word Error Rate vs 2-5% on neutral English.

Where does my transcript go after I download it?

On the free tier nothing is retained. On paid tiers transcripts live in your private library for 365 days; you can delete any item from your account settings. We never train AI models on your audio or transcripts.
