What it is

Soundtrap for Storytellers transcribes a podcast inside the DAW and lets editors cut audio by deleting words. Owned by Spotify since 2017; pairs naturally with their podcast distribution stack.

Best for: Podcasters who want to record, transcribe, edit-by-text, and publish from a browser.
Watch out for: Music-side features stronger than dialogue-cleanup tooling; transcript edits don't propagate to all output formats.
