Transcribe a French podcast recorded in Israel and publish every episode as searchable text.
A 90-minute French-language podcast episode recorded in Israel comes back as French text in about 3 minutes, because WhipScribe works at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio and detects French without a setting. The opening minutes are a free preview, and a season of twenty 90-minute episodes, 1,800 minutes, fits the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes.
For French-language shows made in Israel
Your listeners hear the episode once. The transcript keeps working for the show long after it drops.
Show notes without a second listen
The brief gives the episode's thesis and takeaways in a few lines, which is most of a show-notes draft before the producer has written a word.
Chapters for the episode page
Chapters with timestamps mark each segment and each guest question, so the description in a podcast app can link straight to the part a listener wants.
Studio WAV files are heavy
A stereo WAV at 48 kHz and 24 bits is 288,000 bytes a second, about 1.04 GB an hour, so a 2-hour round table is near 2.07 GB. That is inside the 5 GB a file can be; for a lighter upload, export an MP3 at 128 kbps instead, about 86 MB for 90 minutes, and it fits the box on this page.
Whole feed, one paste
Paste the show's RSS link to pull episodes without downloading them, or send a long master file through the upload page.
Why French episodes stay invisible
A French podcast made in Israel is easy to hear and hard to find.
✗ Audio only
The episode goes out to the feed with a two-line description, and everything the guests said lives only inside the audio file.
- No text for search engines to read
- Guest quotes found by scrubbing the timeline
- Show notes written from memory after midnight
- Producers replaying 90 minutes to check a name
- English-first tools that stumble on French
- Long WAV masters too big for quick tools
✓ Episodes with text
Each episode lands as French text with chapters, a brief and a list of the names and dates mentioned.
- The full conversation in French
- Hosts and guests named in the summary and chapters
- Chapters ready to paste into the episode page
- Places, dates and numbers pulled out
- A chat to find what a guest said about a topic
- SRT and VTT for the video version
Sample output
A French talk episode recorded in Jerusalem, at the moments a producer would clip.
Illustrative lines written for this page, not from a real show. In English: welcome to a new episode recorded this morning in Jerusalem; in the first year here, everything goes through the language; honestly it was a real culture shock, as they say in English; next week we have a guest who works in tech.

FAQ
French podcasts from Israel, answered.
How long does a 90-minute French episode take?
About 3 minutes. A 2-hour interview episode takes close to 4, since processing runs at about 2 minutes for every hour of audio, and the transcript appears on the page the moment it is ready; the transcript waits in your Library.
Our hosts drop English expressions into the French. What happens to them?
The episode is detected on its main language, French, and the English phrases mixed into the speech are handled in the same transcript. Nobody chooses a language from a list; 99 are recognised automatically.
What does a season or a back catalogue cost?
Five 90-minute episodes, 450 minutes, fit the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes. A season of twenty is 1,800 minutes on the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes, and a back catalogue of fifty episodes, 4,500 minutes, fits the $32 pack of 6,000 minutes. Packs are one-time purchases in US dollars, credits never expire, and there is no subscription.
Can I paste the feed instead of uploading files?
Yes. Podcast and RSS links, YouTube, Vimeo and Google Drive share links all work without an upload. An episode hosted somewhere else can be downloaded and uploaded as a file of up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Is the music bed transcribed?
No. Intro music, jingles and sound effects are left out, and the spoken conversation comes through as text.
Which files do we get, and who can read the recording?
The show gets TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, so an unreleased episode stays with the show until you publish it.
