Paste an Apple Podcasts link, an RSS feed's episode address or the MP3 itself, or upload your master file, and download SRT or VTT timed to the episode.
How it works
An Apple Podcasts episode link, the MP3 address from the feed, or the file from your recording software all work.
A one-hour episode is typically ready in a few minutes, with a summary, chapters and key quotes alongside the transcript.
Use SRT for the YouTube upload and for editors; VTT for a web player on your own site.
Where a podcast needs subtitles
Cut a clip after transcribing? Cue times are measured from the start of the full episode, so shift them by the clip's start time in your editor, or simply upload the clip itself: a two-minute clip costs two minutes.
Which links work
Podcast audio is public by design, so most sources fetch cleanly: Apple Podcasts episode pages, the MP3 address inside an RSS feed, and the common hosts behind them. Two exceptions:
For your own show the best source is the master file you exported before publishing: no fetch, no ads inserted by the host, and the timing matches your video edit exactly. Dynamic ads are worth a thought: an episode fetched from a feed may carry different ads from the copy on YouTube, which shifts every cue after the ad break.

1 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:46,500 fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition 2 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,300 that all men are created equal. 3 00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:57,500 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived 4 00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:01,620 and so dedicated, can long endure. 5 00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:07,920 We are met on a great battlefield of that war we have come to dedicate a portion of that field 6 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,240 as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that their nation might live 7 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,800 it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this

Before you rely on it
Each cue is a phrase from the transcript with its start and end time. Most run a few seconds. A passage spoken without a pause can come out as one long cue of up to about half a minute, so split those in your editor if your platform wants two short lines at a time.
Cue times are taken from the recording itself, so the file lines up with the video or audio you uploaded. If you trim the start of the video afterwards, shift the cues by the same amount in your editor.
On public test recordings, about 7 words in 100 differed from the reference for clean English read speech, between 4 and 9 in 100 for Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French and German, and about 21 in 100 for Hindi. Noisy rooms, music and crosstalk do worse. Method and every number: the benchmark.
Open the transcript, correct a misheard name or number on its line, and the SRT and VTT you download carry the correction with the timing unchanged.

FAQ
Paste the episode's Apple Podcasts link or MP3 address, or upload the audio file, in the box on this page. Download SRT or VTT from the transcript when it is ready.
No. Spotify protects its audio with DRM, so it cannot be downloaded by any tool. Use the Apple Podcasts link, the feed's MP3 address, or your own audio file.
The cues carry the words and their timing. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters that come with the transcript.
The audio that was transcribed and the video differ somewhere, most often an intro or a dynamically inserted ad. Transcribe the exact audio used in the video, or shift the cues by the difference in a subtitle editor.
