WhipScribe transcribes a Blubrry episode from its MP3 link, its PowerPress page or the show's RSS feed. Packs: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000, $32 for 6,000; Workspace $19 a month. Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. Measured turnaround: about 2 minutes per audio hour. 99 languages. Checked 2 Nov 2026.
Which links work
These are the links that lead to the audio.
Copy the MP3 link from the player's download button, or open the episode on the show's PowerPress site and copy the page address.
Whipscribe reads the audio the page points to. The transcript preview opens without an account.
Speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, and every word carries a timestamp. Export TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
| Link you paste | What gets transcribed |
|---|---|
media.blubrry.com/show-name/…/episode-file.mp3 | That episode |
show-name.blubrry.net/2026/08/12/episode-title/ | That episode, from the show's PowerPress site |
podcast.show/show-name/episode/123456789/ | That episode |
feeds.blubrry.com/feeds/show-name.xml | A list of its episodes; you pick which to transcribe |
Links on blubrry.com itself, like blubrry.com/show-name/ or blubrry.com/show-name/12345678/episode-title/, do not work. Use the episode's MP3 link, its PowerPress page or the show's feed instead. A show website on its own domain may work if the page carries its audio; if not, you see a message straight away and nothing is queued. If the show is yours, drop the audio file in the box: it takes files up to 500 MB, and larger files continue on the upload page.
What podcasters do with it
A transcript gives every episode post something to say.
Paste the DOCX or TXT export into the episode's post so the page has real text for readers and search engines.
SRT and VTT files add captions to video episodes and short clips, which matters when most people watch with the sound off.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners can follow the whole conversation.
Word-level timestamps let you list where each segment begins without scrubbing back through the recording.
Transcripts stay in your library. Years of episodes become searchable by name or phrase.
Key quotes name the host or guest who said them, so a quote in a newsletter or social post is attributed correctly.
Blubrry's own transcripts
Yes. Blubrry lists transcription and captioning as a paid add-on to its hosting plans, and its Podcast AI tools, sold as separate monthly plans, also create transcripts. If you already pay for either, check there first.

Whole back catalog
An archive of 150 episodes at an hour each is 9,000 minutes. One $32 pack and one $18 pack give exactly 9,000 minutes, so the whole catalog costs $50, about 33 cents an episode. Credits never expire.
Packs from $4, credits never expire. See the pricing page for details.
FAQ
Blubrry offers transcription as a paid add-on to its hosting, and transcripts are part of its Podcast AI tools, which are sold as separate plans.
Copy the episode's MP3 link, or the episode page on the show's PowerPress site (such as show-name.blubrry.net), and paste it into the box on this page. A preview opens with no signup; a pack from $4 opens the full transcript.
Show and episode links on blubrry.com itself, such as blubrry.com/show-name/ or blubrry.com/show-name/12345678/episode-title/, still appear in some feeds and apps but no longer lead to the audio. Paste the episode's MP3 link, its page on the show's PowerPress site or the show's RSS feed instead.
Blubrry-hosted feeds usually live at feeds.blubrry.com/feeds/ followed by the show's name and .xml. If the show has a podcast.show website, pasting that site's home page link works too, because the feed is read from that page.
No. A feed link lists the show's episodes to choose from. For an older episode, paste that episode's own page or MP3 link.
Reading a public episode for your own use, such as study, research, accessibility or checking what was said, is a common reason to paste a link. Publishing the transcript or large parts of it is different: the words belong to the show, so ask the podcaster first and credit them when you quote. This is not legal advice.
150 hour-long episodes are 9,000 minutes. One $32 pack and one $18 pack give exactly 9,000 minutes, so the whole archive costs $50, about 33 cents an episode. Credits never expire.
