Does it handle a full episode?
Yes; long audio is the normal case here rather than the exception. How much of each file is transcribed and how much you read depends on the plan.
Get the transcript of a SoundCloud track
Episodes, interviews, lectures: paste the address and get an hour of audio back as text you can search.
Yes — paste a public SoundCloud URL and WhoScribe fetches the audio and transcribes it. It is built for long recordings, so a full podcast episode is a normal case. The text is timestamped and exportable; your first one needs no account, and every file shows its first 15 minutes free.
- Made for long audio — a full episode is ordinary here
- Speakers separated, so an interview reads as a conversation
- Timestamps to quote a moment without hunting for it

Copy the track address
The address in the browser is enough. Private links that need a secret token are not reachable.
-
Paste it above
Choose the spoken language and turn on speaker recognition if more than one person talks.
-
Read the episode
Click any line to hear it said. Correct the names and terms the model guessed.

Publish or quote it
Export the text for show notes, or subtitles if the episode also exists as video.
Show notes are the reason most people come
An episode that exists only as audio is invisible: nobody can search it, quote it or skim it before deciding to listen. A transcript turns the same hour into something a reader can scan in two minutes and a search engine can read at all. Publishing even part of it — a summary with three timestamped quotes — does more for an episode than another social post.
FAQ
Questions before you upload
Try it on this pagePrivate or unlisted tracks?
A public track works. A private link with a secret token does not — if a visitor cannot open it without permission, neither can we.
Can it tell the host and the guest apart?
Yes, when they take turns. Each line is labelled and you rename the speakers once, which is usually all an interview needs.
What can I do with the text?
Copy it, export it as a document, or take timed subtitles if the episode also exists as video. Everything can be edited before you export.
