WhipScribe transcribes Pocket Casts episodes from the show's feed, episode MP3 or Apple Podcasts link, not pca.st links. 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.
The file you have
Sometimes a link works. Paste the show's feed, the episode's MP3 address or its Apple Podcasts link. The app's share link is a web page.
How it works
The episode's Apple Podcasts link, or the show's RSS feed from its website or Podcast Index.
The audio is fetched from the podcast's own host; about two minutes of processing per hour of episode.
The opening minutes are a free preview. A pack opens the full transcript and every export.
Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every Pocket Casts recording, whatever its length.
Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.
A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
Pricing
A two-hour episode is 120 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it twice. Every recording gets a free preview, and in 31 countries, or for recordings of an hour or more in most others, a summary you can read before paying; a pack opens the full transcript and every export. Packs are one-time purchases with no subscription and no seat fee.
Pick a pack to open secure checkout. Workspace is $19 a month for unlimited transcription (300-hour fair-use mark). Full pricing

FAQ
A pca.st link is a web page about the episode, not its audio, so it is not relied on. Paste the episode's Apple Podcasts link, its MP3 address or the show's RSS feed instead.
Yes: paste the same private feed address here. It lists the show's episodes so you can tick the ones to transcribe.
Pocket Casts keeps downloads in its own storage for offline play. Pasting the episode's public link is simpler and fetches the same audio.
The preview is free, and so is the summary in 31 countries or for recordings of an hour or more. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000 minutes, $32 for 6,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.
