How it works
The link is enough when the episode is public.
Open the episode on buzzsprout.com or on the show's Buzzsprout website and copy the address from your browser bar.
Whipscribe finds the episode's audio from the link. The transcript preview opens without an account.
Every voice is labelled Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, with word-level timestamps. Export TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
| Link you paste | What gets transcribed |
|---|---|
www.buzzsprout.com/1234567/episodes/12345678-episode-title | That episode |
www.buzzsprout.com/1234567/12345678 | That episode |
yourshow.buzzsprout.com/1234567/episodes/12345678-episode-title | That episode, from the show's Buzzsprout website |
www.buzzsprout.com/1234567 or yourshow.buzzsprout.com | The newest episode |
feeds.buzzsprout.com/1234567.rss | The newest episode |
A direct .mp3 link to the episode | That file |
If a link is refused, you see a message straight away and nothing is queued. Paste the episode's MP3 link or the show's RSS feed instead, or download the MP3 and drop it in the box. The box takes files up to 500 MB; larger files continue on the upload page.
What podcasters do with it
Less listening back, more reuse.
Skim the topics you covered and use timestamps to point listeners to the right moment.
Export SRT or VTT for your video editor, so clips play with captions when the sound is off.
A text version lets deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners, and anyone who would rather read, follow the whole conversation.
Open the DOCX export in Word or Google Docs and edit the strongest section into an article.
Every transcript is kept in your library. Search it to find the episode where a guest made a point you want to bring back.
Speaker labels show who said what, so a pull quote for social media or a guest's promotion uses their real words.
Buzzsprout's own transcripts
Buzzsprout says its current paid plans automatically create transcripts for new episodes at no extra cost, and include them in the RSS feed, in podcast apps and on the Buzzsprout website. If those cover what you need, you may not need anything more.

Reading a public episode for your own use, such as study, research, accessibility or checking a quote, 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.
