Transcribe Blubrry episodes and put the text on the episode post.
A Blubrry-hosted episode of 3 hours is 180 minutes of audio, and pasting the show's RSS feed returns it as text in about 6 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free; one episode fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes, and a year of monthly 3-hour episodes, 2,160 minutes, needs the $24 pack. Many Blubrry shows publish through WordPress, so the feed usually comes from the show's own site.
From the feed to the episode post
Long episodes become readable posts on the show's own site.
Use the feed the site already serves
A WordPress show that publishes with Blubrry serves an RSS feed for the directories. Copy that feed address from the plugin settings or the site, paste it here, and the episode is fetched for you.
Text for the episode post
A three-hour episode page with only a player gives search engines little to read. The DOCX or TXT export can go under the player, with the chapters as a contents list at the top. Readers who prefer text can scan the conversation before deciding to press play.
The main points first
The brief states the episode's thesis and takeaways in a few lines, and guests are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, which is often the excerpt the post needs.
A year of monthly episodes
Twelve monthly episodes of 180 minutes are 2,160 minutes, just past the 2,000 on the $12 pack. The $24 pack of 5,000 covers the year with 2,840 minutes left, enough for the back catalogue too.
Why long WordPress episodes stay unread
A player and two lines of notes is all most long episodes get.
✗ The episode post today
A three-hour show sits behind a play button with a short description.
- Two lines of notes for three hours
- Nothing on the page for search engines
- Guests' names missing from the page
- No contents list for long episodes
- Captions absent from the video edition
- Old episodes nobody finds
✓ The episode post with text
Each episode gets its words, its chapters and its key points on the page.
- About 6 minutes for a three-hour episode
- Chapters as a contents list
- A brief to open the post
- Roundtable panelists named in the summary and quotes
- SRT and VTT for a video upload of the show
- Archive episodes transcribed from the same feed

FAQ
Blubrry episodes, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour Blubrry episode take?
Expect about 6 minutes, since the pace is close to 2 minutes per audio hour. A 4.94-hour run finishing in 372 seconds is published at /proof/long-files.
Which pack does a monthly show need?
One 180-minute episode fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes, with 320 left. A year of twelve is 2,160 minutes, so the $24 pack of 5,000 is the one, at $0.29 an audio hour.
Where do I find the feed address?
It is the feed the show submits to podcast directories, usually shown in the podcasting plugin's settings or linked from the site. Paste that address; if an episode is not yet in the feed, upload the exported file.
Does a long episode need cutting into parts?
No. A single recording can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, and before the first pack uploads go up to 2 GB.
Can I transcribe a show in another language?
Yes. 99 languages are detected automatically, and an episode that switches language is detected on its main language with the switches handled.
What formats come out, and is the audio kept private?
Each Blubrry episode exports as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. WordPress shows are transcribed on our own servers and the audio is never used for training.
