Transcribe long podcast episodes from Singapore and write the show notes from the brief.
A long podcast episode from Singapore, the kind that runs two to four hours, comes back as text at about 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a 3-hour episode takes roughly 6 minutes. Paste the RSS feed or the episode link, read the first 20 minutes free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the rest of that episode.
What a long episode needs
Three hours of conversation, turned into show notes, timestamps and quotable lines.
Start from the feed
Paste the podcast's RSS feed or a single episode link and the audio is fetched for you. A video version on YouTube works the same way, so there is no download and re-upload of a 3-hour file.
Show notes from the chapters
Chapters come back with timestamps at each change of topic, which is most of a show-notes page already. The brief states the episode's main argument and takeaways, and the books, names and numbers mentioned are listed for the links section.
Host and guests, named
The host and guests are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so a pull quote for social posts comes with the speaker's name and the minute it was said.
A season and a back catalogue
One 3-hour episode is 180 minutes of the $6 pack of 500. A back catalogue of 30 episodes at 2.5 hours is 4,500 minutes, which fits on the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. Prices are in US dollars.
Why long episodes stay untranscribed
The longer the episode, the more the transcript matters, and the more it costs to get by hand.

Most tools are built for a short clip and struggle with an episode that runs past the two-hour mark.

FAQ

Roughly 6 minutes, since audio runs at about 2 minutes per hour. A 4-hour episode takes about 8. Our public proof page shows a 4.94-hour file done in 372 seconds.
What will a 3-hour episode use from a pack?
A 3-hour episode uses 180 minutes of the $6 pack of 500, leaving 320 for the next ones. A first visit includes the first 20 minutes free. A weekly show with 2.5-hour episodes uses about 600 minutes a month, which suits the $12 pack of 2,000.
Can I paste the RSS feed instead of uploading?
Yes. Podcast RSS feeds and episode links are fetched for you, and YouTube links work too. If you prefer to upload, one file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, with uploads up to 2 GB before the first pack.
The episode is longer than 10 hours. What then?
Few are, but a marathon live show past 10 hours goes in as two files. Everything up to 10 hours or 5 GB goes in as one.
Which languages does it work in?
Podcast audio in any of 99 languages is detected automatically, English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil among them. An episode that switches language is detected on its main language.
What can I export, and who hears the episode?
Download the episode as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Episodes are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete them whenever you like.
