Transcribe your podcast to text

Upload the audio or video for an episode, enable speaker separation, and check who said each passage. Once you have corrected names, terminology, and important remarks, download TXT or DOCX for a published transcript, or SRT or VTT for a video edition.

When is a podcast transcript useful?

Hosts, producers, and editors can turn the episode recording into searchable text, find a guest's remark, publish a reviewed transcript, or prepare SRT or VTT for a video edition.

Search by a name, word, or participant to find a passage, then return to the matching point in the recording.

How should you prepare the episode?

Choose the final file or the version with the clearest voices. Select the spoken language and enable speaker separation when the recording contains hosts and guests.

If the edit includes music, an opening sting, or remotely recorded sections, note where they occur so that you can check those parts more carefully.

Daily file limits are 10 without an account and 20 when using the Free allowance. Pro, Studio, and transcriptions using purchased minutes have no daily file-count limit; available minutes and per-file limits still apply.

What do you receive?

  • Episode speech divided into editable passages.
  • Time ranges for finding each passage in the recording.
  • Voice labels that you can rename as the host or guest.
  • TXT or DOCX for a continuous transcript, and SRT or VTT with time ranges for each cue.

Each SRT cue uses the passage's current speaker label. You can rename the speaker or remove the label from one passage in Transcrever; that exported cue then contains only its text.

Saved corrections remain available after a refresh in the same browser. Cross-device task history is available only on Pro and Studio.

How to review hosts and guests

1. Name the voices

Listen to the opening remarks, identify each person, and replace the generated labels with their names.

2. Check names and references

Review people, brands, titles, books, websites mentioned aloud, and terms specific to the episode's subject.

3. Listen to passages you plan to publish

Before highlighting a statement or publishing the text, compare the passage with the audio and preserve the full meaning of the conversation.

What can you do with the transcript?

Publish the corrected transcript, select reviewed passages for the episode description or promotion, send TXT or DOCX to an editor, or download SRT or VTT for the video edition.

What should you check around music and overlapping speech?

Music, sound effects, and people talking at the same time can create words that are unrelated to the conversation or assign a passage to the wrong speaker label. Correct text that does not match the audio and listen again to any important passage.

A practical review example

For an episode with one host and one guest, start by naming both voices. Search for the title of the book they mention, check its spelling against the audio or the episode references, and only then copy the passage for promotional material.

Questions about podcast transcription

Does Transcrever recognize the host and guest by name?

It separates voices into labels. Listen to the recording, identify each person, and enter their names in the transcript editor.

What is the maximum episode length?

That depends on your access: 10 minutes without an account, 30 minutes on Free, 3 hours on Pro, and 6 hours on Studio. If the episode is longer, trim the section you need or compare the plans before uploading.

Which formats can I download the transcript in?

You can download TXT for plain text or DOCX to keep working in a document editor. Use SRT or VTT with time ranges for the video edition. Saved corrections remain available after a refresh in the same browser; cross-device task history is available only on Pro and Studio.

How much time do I have to review and download?

The transcript stays available for 7 days without an account and on Free, 30 days on Pro, and 90 days on Studio. After downloading the reviewed TXT, DOCX, SRT, or VTT, keep the file with the episode materials.

If the episode is an MP3 or also has video

For an MP3 episode, check the guidance for that format. If you need subtitles for a video edition, generate and review an SRT file.
