The short answer
To get a Spotify podcast transcript, add the extension, open the episode on Spotify and click the transcript button next to the player. It matches the episode to the show's public feed and transcribes that audio. Spotify keeps playing it.
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.
AI tools on the transcript
Summary, takeaways, flashcards, Cornell notes and more, generated from the text.
Three clicks from episode to notes

What works
- Episodes that are also in the show's public feed
- Speaker labels and timestamps that seek the Spotify player
- Summary, takeaways and AI tools in any of 107 output languages
Good to know
- Spotify exclusives cannot be transcribed, because they have no public feed.
- Timestamps follow the feed audio. If the host inserts an ad into that version, later lines can be off by the length of the ad.

Questions
Does it play or download Spotify audio?
No. Spotify keeps playing in its own player. The extension uses the show's public audio only to transcribe it, and deletes it within 24 hours.
Is this affiliated with Spotify?
No. Podcast To Transcript is independent and is not endorsed by Spotify. Spotify is a registered trademark of Spotify AB.
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.
