PODCAST TRANSCRIPTION
Turn the episode into a transcript you can publish
Upload a finished podcast recording and leave with an editable transcript, speaker labels, chapters and show notes for the episode page.
A podcast publishing workflow
One recording, several useful deliverables.

The transcript becomes the source of truth. Notes and chapters are separate, retryable outputs so a summary failure never makes you upload or pay for the episode again.

Questions, answered
Podcast transcription questions
What does podcast transcription include?
The workflow starts with an editable transcript. When the model returns them, speaker labels and timing remain attached. Chapters and show notes are generated as separate outputs.
Can I transcribe a long podcast episode?
Long recordings use a queued private workflow. The uploader checks the configured file-size and duration limits before processing begins.
Can I export show notes for a podcast host?
Yes. Review the generated summary and chapters, then copy or export Markdown alongside the transcript and subtitle files.
Does CastTranscript download podcast URLs?
No. Upload an audio or video file you own or have permission to process. CastTranscript does not act as a podcast or social-media downloader.
Private by default
