Can it tell the host and the guest apart?
Yes. Turn on speaker recognition and each line is tagged. Rename the two speakers once and the names carry into every export.
Podcast show notes from your episode audio
Upload the episode and get a timestamped transcript — take your chapter markers and pull quotes straight out of it.
- Timestamps you can paste as chapter markers
- Host and guest labelled separately
- SRT and VTT for the video version
Show notes start from the transcript
Writing show notes is really the work of finding moments: the question that landed, the story worth quoting, the point where one topic becomes another. A timestamped transcript turns re-listening into skimming — read the episode in a few minutes, copy the timings you want, lift the quotes as they were said.

How it works
Three steps to your first transcript
-
Drop in your file
Audio or video of any length; the free plan transcribes the first 15 minutes of each file. MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, MOV and a dozen more.
-
Pick the language
Leave the language on automatic or set it for better accuracy. Turn on speaker recognition if you need to know who said what.
-
Read, edit, export
The transcript opens with clickable timestamps — read it and fix a name straight away. A free account keeps it and exports it as TXT; DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT come with the unlimited plan.
FAQ
Questions before you upload
Try it on this pageDo I get chapter timestamps?
Every line carries its own timestamp, so you pick the moments and paste them into the description. There is no automatic chapter generator: where an episode turns is an editorial decision, not a technical one.
Can I caption the video cut too?
Yes. Export SRT or VTT from the same transcript. The timings are already synced to the audio, so there is no conversion step.
