2 to 3 hour episodes · Taglish · captions and show notes

Transcribe a long Filipino podcast or vlog into show notes and captions.

A 3-hour Filipino podcast or vlog episode comes back as text in about 6 minutes, and a 2-hour one in about 4. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers two 3-hour episodes with time to spare.

For hosts, editors and the person who writes the description

Three hours of kwentuhan, turned into the text an episode page needs.

Show notes without rewatching

The brief states what the episode was about and the main takeaways, and the chapters come with timestamps you can paste into a YouTube description. The names, numbers and dates said on the show are listed, so links and corrections are quick to add.

Quotes for the clips you post

Key quotes come with the speaker named and the minute they said it. Pick the lines for a short post or a teaser, then go straight to that point in your editor; the transcript and the video share one clock.

Taglish stays Taglish

Hosts switch between English and Tagalog mid-sentence, and that is handled in one recording. The main language is detected automatically. If a guest speaks Bisaya or Ilocano for a long stretch, that part is a fast first draft and is worth one review pass.

Episodes per pack

A 3-hour episode uses 180 minutes. The $6 pack of 500 minutes covers two of those plus a shorter one, and a weekly show of 2-hour episodes fits about 16 weeks on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. Credits never expire between seasons.

Why long episodes are a chore to write up

A three-hour episode is great to listen to and slow to describe.

✗ Writing it up by ear

Show notes for a long episode usually mean replaying it with a notepad open, or skipping the notes altogether. For a weekly show that is several hours of extra work, every week, on top of recording and editing.

  • Auto-captions that mangle Tagalog
  • Caption tools capped at an hour
  • Timestamps typed by hand
  • Quotes remembered, not checked
  • Guest names spelled three ways
  • A description written in a hurry

✓ The episode as text

One upload returns the transcript, the outline and the captions together. The description, the subtitles and the teaser quotes all come from the same text, so they agree with each other.

  • About 6 minutes for 3 hours
  • Chapters you can paste as timestamps
  • Hosts and guests named in the summary
  • Quotes with the minute attached
  • SRT and VTT for subtitles
  • Chat to find the story from the second hour

FAQ

Long Filipino episodes, the common questions.

How long does a 3-hour podcast take to transcribe?

About 6 minutes. Processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a 2-hour vlog takes around 4. A YouTube link adds a short fetch at the start.

How much is a three-hour Filipino episode?

180 minutes, which fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes with 320 minutes left, enough for most of a second long episode. A weekly show is cheaper per hour on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, about $0.36 an audio hour.

Can I paste the YouTube or RSS link?

Yes. YouTube videos, YouTube live replays, podcast RSS feeds and Google Drive share links can be pasted. Episodes saved from Facebook or TikTok are downloaded first and uploaded as a file.

My video file is over 2 GB. Is that a problem?

A first upload can be as large as 2 GB; anything bigger waits until a pack has been bought. After that, one file can be up to 5 GB or 10 hours. Exporting the audio only, or pasting the link, avoids the large upload entirely.

Does it work for Taglish and regional languages?

Taglish, Tagalog and English are handled in one recording, among 99 detected languages. Regional languages such as Cebuano, Hiligaynon or Waray are supported, though accuracy trails the major languages; treat that text as a fast first draft and plan one review pass.

Which files do I get, and is the audio private?

TXT and DOCX for show notes, SRT and VTT for captions, and JSON for your own tools. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
