How it works
For your own show or one you follow: a public episode link is all Whipscribe needs.
Open the episode on spreaker.com and copy the address, or share it from the app. Episode links look like spreaker.com/episode/episode-title--12345678.
Whipscribe fetches the episode's audio from the link. The transcript preview opens without an account.
Voices are 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 |
|---|---|
spreaker.com/episode/episode-title--12345678 | That episode |
A direct .mp3 link to the episode | That file |
| The show's RSS feed link | The newest episode |
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 episode and drop the file in the box. The box takes files up to 500 MB; larger files continue on the upload page. Check the episode still plays on Spreaker first. A link to an episode that has been deleted can be accepted and then fail while it is being transcribed. Private episodes cannot be read from a link; if the show is yours, download the MP3 and upload it.
What podcasters and listeners do with it
Spreaker hosts shows and plays them. The transcript works for both sides.
Hosting on Spreaker? Paste your episode link, open the DOCX export and edit the best section into show notes or an article.
Export SRT or VTT and add it to short videos of the episode, so they make sense with the sound off.
Following a show on Spreaker? Keep the passages you want with speaker labels and timestamps, ready to cite.
Every transcript stays in your library, so a whole season, yours or someone else's, can be searched for a name or a topic.
Spreaker's own transcripts
Spreaker lets creators attach a transcript to an episode, and listeners can read it in the Spreaker app. Its help center lists several ways creators can produce one. If an episode already carries a transcript, you may not need another.
Whipscribe helps when there is none, when you want speaker labels and word-level timestamps, or when you need a DOCX, caption or JSON file to work with.
Most shows you find on Spreaker belong to someone else. Transcribing a public episode for notes, study or research is common; before publishing the transcript or long quotes, ask the podcaster and credit the show. This is not legal advice.
