About Podcasts To Text
PodcastsToText turns an episode link into a readable transcript. You paste a link from Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or TikTok, or upload audio, and the episode opens in an editor where clicking a word plays that moment, changing a speaker name updates it everywhere, and the line being played is highlighted. Speaker recognition is included on every plan, and exports are TXT, MD, SRT, VTT, JSON, DOCX or PDF with timings preserved.
Beyond the transcript, AI drafts chapters with timestamps, a summary, show notes, translations into around a hundred languages and social posts, and a chat answers questions using the transcript only. A developers section offers API access for building on the service.
You can start free, and a pricing page lists the paid plans. It suits people who want to quote, study or search a podcast without re-listening. The site also has a blog and a contact page, and it shows ratings from reviewers.
