The short answer
Spotify shows a transcript on some episodes, depending on the show. For any other public episode, add the extension, open it on Spotify and click the transcript button.
Three clicks from episode to notes
Check the episode in Spotify
If it shows a transcript, you can read it there. If not, go to the next step.
Install the extension
Add Podcast To Transcript to Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Open the episode and click the transcript button
It matches the episode to the show's public feed and transcribes that audio, with speakers and timestamps.
Other ways, and when they work
- Spotify's own transcript: free, but only where the show provides one.
- Podcast To Transcript: any public episode that is also in the show's feed. Spotify exclusives are not covered.
- A transcription service where you upload an audio file: works on any file you already have.
What you get
Speakers on every line
Each speaker gets a colour and a name, so you know who said what.
Timestamps that seek
Click a line to jump the player to that moment and hear it yourself.

Questions
Does it play or store the episode?
No. The episode keeps playing in its own player. We fetch the public audio only to transcribe it and delete it within 24 hours.
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 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.
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.
