Transcribe long podcast episodes in Ireland straight from the RSS feed.
A long podcast episode from Ireland, two to four hours of conversation, comes back as text in about 2 minutes per hour, so a 3-hour episode is ready in about 6 minutes. Paste the RSS feed or the episode link; the first 20 minutes are free and 180 minutes fits a $6 pack.
For long-form shows
The episode becomes show notes, chapters and quotes you can post.
No export from the editor
Paste the RSS feed or the episode page link and we fetch the audio ourselves. There is nothing to bounce out of your editing software and nothing to upload over a slow connection.
Show notes from the chapters
Chapters with timestamps mark each topic in a meandering three-hour chat, and the brief lists the thesis and the takeaways. Paste the chapters straight into the episode description so listeners can skip to a segment.
Quotes with names
Guests and hosts are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so the line you want for a social post comes with the person who said it and the minute it was said. A two-person show and a four-voice panel episode work the same way.
A back catalogue on $24
One 3-hour episode uses 180 minutes of the $6 pack. Thirty older episodes averaging two and a half hours come to 4,500 minutes, inside the $24 pack of 5,000, so a whole archive can become searchable in an afternoon. Older episodes recorded on cheaper microphones come through too; noisy stretches are the ones to spot-check.
Why long episodes miss out
The best line of the episode is buried at two hours forty.
✗ A three-hour MP3 and a deadline
Long episodes are the hardest to write notes for and the easiest to leave without any.
- Listening back at double speed to write notes
- Chapters guessed from memory
- A quote attributed to the wrong guest
- Upload limits that reject a long episode
- A back catalogue nobody can search
- Captions missing from the video version
✓ The episode as text
One link in, and the whole episode back as text, chapters and quotes.
- Roughly 6 minutes per 3-hour episode
- RSS and episode links work
- First 20 minutes free
- Guests named in quotes and chapters
- SRT and VTT for the video cut
- An archive searchable by any word

FAQ
Long podcast episodes, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour episode take?
About 6 minutes. Speed is roughly 2 minutes per hour, and a 4-hour episode takes around 8.
How much is one 3-hour episode?
180 minutes on the $6 pack of 500, leaving 320 minutes for the next episodes. A weekly 3-hour show uses about 780 minutes a month, which suits the $12 pack of 2,000. Prices are in USD.
Can I paste the RSS feed?
Yes. Podcast and RSS links are fetched for you, as are YouTube and Vimeo links if the show has a video version. No download and upload is needed.
Is there a size limit?
One file up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Uploads before the first pack can be up to 2 GB, which is far more than an audio episode needs.
Do music beds and intros cause problems?
Music and sound effects are not transcribed; the speech is. The intro music is skipped and the conversation underneath any bed comes through as text.
Which formats come back, and is the audio kept private?
TXT for show notes, SRT and VTT for the video cut, plus DOCX and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
