Transcribe a podcast to text

An episode transcript is useful for everything: show notes, chapters with timestamps, quotes for social, a page Google can read. With TraScrivo you get it free, even for two-hour episodes.

How it works, step by step

  1. Download the episode audio (mp3 or m4a) from your hosting platform or RSS feed.
  2. Upload the file to trascrivo.com and select the episode language; with several languages, leave auto-detect on.
  3. Press Transcribe. The text arrives with timestamps every few seconds: download TXT for notes or SRT if you also publish video.

From text to chapters and show notes

The timestamps are the useful part: scan the text for topic changes and copy the times as chapters (00:00 Intro, 04:12 Guest, 18:40 Questions). The strongest lines become quotes for posts. The full transcript, published under the episode, lets people find the podcast on Google.

Long episodes and several voices

A two-hour episode is split into chunks and transcribed in full, no limits. With two or more voices the text does not label speakers: use the timestamps and the host's questions as landmarks, or add initials by hand in the passages you publish.

FAQ

How long does a one-hour episode take?

Usually one or two minutes: the file is split into chunks transcribed in parallel.

Does the transcript identify speakers?

Not yet. Timestamps and the host's questions help you find your way.

Can I transcribe an English podcast with Italian segments?

Yes: with auto-detect the engine recognises the main language of each chunk.
