Why use it
Works with audio or video episodes
Handles both podcast formats without a separate extraction step.
Makes episodes searchable
Text on the page can be indexed by search engines; audio alone can't.
Nothing is kept afterward
Your episode file is discarded the moment the transcript comes back.
Supported formats

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the transcript for show notes or SEO?
Yes — that's one of the most common uses. Paste it into your show notes, or use it as a base to write a blog post version of the episode. Readable text on the episode page is one of the best ways to get it found in search, since search engines can't index audio directly.
What episode formats does it accept?
Both audio and video — MP4, WEBM, MOV, MKV, AVI, and 3GP for video episodes, or MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC for audio.
My episode is longer than 20 minutes — what do I do?
Try Audio Summarizer first if you just need the key points. For a full transcript, trim the episode into segments with Audio Trimmer (lossless, no quality loss) and transcribe each one.
Is it free?
Yes. It's free with no account required, limited to a fair-use number of transcriptions per hour.
Is my episode stored anywhere?
No. It's processed in memory during transcription and discarded immediately after — never written to disk or a database.
