Transcribe an Afrikaans podcast from the feed.

A 2-hour episode takes about 4 minutes and a 1-hour episode about 2, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. New episodes can go in the morning they are published, so the notes and the transcript page appear on the same day as the audio.

Fifty episodes of 90 minutes are 4,500 minutes, which fits the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. A weekly 2-hour show adds about 520 minutes a month, so a month of new episodes sits on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. Packs are sold in US dollars and the credits on them do not run out. A transcript page per episode also gives search engines Afrikaans text to index, which audio alone never does.

At 128 kbps an MP3 holds 128,000 bits a second, so one hour is about 57.6 MB and two hours about 115 MB. That is well inside the 5 GB per-file ceiling, and inside the 2 GB that applies before your first pack. If you export from an editor at a higher bitrate, the arithmetic still holds: 192 kbps is about 86 MB per hour, so a 2-hour episode is about 173 MB.

No setting is needed. Afrikaans is among the 99 languages detected automatically, and a guest who drifts into English is handled within the same episode. Afrikaans slang and loanwords are transcribed as they sound, so give names and brand words one read before publishing the text.

The summary, the key quotes and the chapters each identify and name the host and guests. That is usually what show notes need: who made the point and when. For a panel show with three or four voices, that still gives each regular a name in the chapters and the quotes.

You can download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON for each episode. Episodes are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training; delete them from your Library whenever you like. Many podcasters publish the TXT as an episode transcript page and keep the JSON for their own searchable archive of past shows.
