Podcast transcript generator

Turn any public podcast episode into text you can search, quote and paste into ChatGPT or Claude. Paste a link or search by show name; Podskrift fetches the audio and transcribes it with modern speech recognition.

How it works

  1. Paste or search

    A Spotify episode link, Apple Podcasts link, RSS feed URL, or the show name.

  2. Pick the episode

    You see titles and lengths before anything is charged.

  3. Get the transcript

    Plain text for reading and quoting, plus .srt with timestamps.

Questions

Is this an AI transcript generator?

Yes — AI speech recognition turns the audio into text. You do not need to upload a file; Podskrift downloads the episode from the show’s public feed.

Do I need to upload the audio?

No. If you only have a local file, host it somewhere with a direct URL and paste that instead.

Can I generate transcripts inside ChatGPT?

Yes. Add Podskrift as a custom MCP server, then ask ChatGPT for the episode. Setup guides are linked below.

Is there speaker labelling (diarisation)?

Not yet. You get one continuous transcript with timestamps, not named speakers.

What does it cost?

Start free, no card needed. After that, minutes are a one-time purchase: from $1.50 for 60 minutes, cheaper per minute the more you buy (1,200 min for $11), or just the minutes one episode needs. No subscription. You can also add your own OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly instead; that is optional.

What do I get back?

The full transcript as plain text (.txt) and as SubRip subtitles (.srt) with timestamps, plus a reading view in the browser. Transcripts are private to your account unless you create a share link.

Which languages work?

28 languages, transcribed with modern speech recognition. Auto-detect is the default; choosing the language yourself helps on short or accented audio.
