The short answer
The fastest way is a browser extension: add it, open the episode and click the transcript button. You get the text with speakers and timestamps without downloading or uploading a file.
Three clicks from episode to notes
Install the extension
Add Podcast To Transcript to Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Open the episode
Use Apple Podcasts, Spotify, a YouTube video with captions or a page with an audio player you allow.
Click the transcript button
Read it with speakers and timestamps, then search it or export it.
Other ways, and when they work
- YouTube's own transcript panel: free, but only on videos with captions, and without speakers.
- A podcast app's built-in transcript: only where the show provides one.
- A transcription service where you upload an audio file: works on any file you already have.

Timestamps that seek
Click a line to jump the player to that moment and hear it yourself.

Questions
How accurate is the transcript?
The default model handles clear speech in most languages well. For noisy rooms or rarer languages, Pro lets you pick another model per episode.
What counts as a minute?
The length of the episode. If anyone already transcribed it with the same model, it opens instantly and uses no minutes.
Which sites does it work on?
Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube videos with captions right away. Turn on all sites in Settings and it also finds episodes on show websites and other players. Episodes that are exclusive to one app cannot be transcribed.
What happens to my transcripts?
They stay in your history on every device. Remove any of them, or delete your account and everything goes with it.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes, any time from Plan and billing. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
