Transcribe long Spotify for Creators episodes from your feed or your own file.
A two-and-a-half-hour episode from a show hosted on Spotify for Creators, formerly Anchor, comes back as text in about 5 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers three episodes of that length with 50 minutes left.
Two routes in
Use the public feed, or the file you published.
Feed or file
A show distributed from Spotify for Creators publishes an RSS feed; paste that address here, pick the episode, and the audio is fetched on our side. Hosts can also start from the episode file they uploaded, or one the dashboard lets them download where that option exists. Video episodes may not appear in the feed, so upload the video file in that case.
Three-hour conversations
A long-form interview of two or three hours is a single recording here, with no editing into parts. Any single episode file may run to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before the first pack, uploads up to 2 GB go through; a linked episode needs no upload at all.
A weekly show's month
Four weekly episodes of 150 minutes total 600 minutes a month. The $12 pack of 2,000 minutes carries three months of that with 200 minutes to spare, about $0.36 an audio hour, and credits never expire between seasons.
From audio to show notes
The brief states the episode's thesis and takeaways, chapters come with timestamps ready for the description, and the names, numbers and dates said on air are listed. Speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, which helps when picking a pull quote. The SRT and VTT files also serve as captions for a video version of the episode.
Long episodes elsewhere
A 3-hour conversation is great on air and hard to turn into notes by hand.

FAQ
Spotify for Creators episodes: the questions.
How long does a 150-minute episode take?
About 5 minutes, since processing runs near 2 minutes per audio hour. For a longer benchmark, /proof/long-files records 4.94 hours done in 372 seconds.
What does a 150-minute Spotify for Creators episode cost?
On a first visit, 20 minutes are free. A 150-minute episode is on the $6 pack of 500 minutes, which holds three. A weekly show of four such episodes a month goes on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Where do I find the RSS feed?
In the show's distribution or settings area, where the feed address is listed for directories. Paste it here and choose the episode. We have no integration with Spotify and nothing to authorise.
Does a video episode work?
Yes, by uploading the video file, usually an MP4, of up to 5 GB or 10 hours. Video above 2 GB waits until a pack is on the account, then starts.
Which languages can the show be in?
99, detected automatically. A show that switches between English and Spanish is detected on its main language, and the switches are handled.
Which exports, and what happens to the audio?
A Spotify for Creators episode exports to TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Episodes are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and you can delete any of them.
