Why transcribe to text?

Converting podcast episodes to text makes content searchable, quotable, and reusable. You can skim for key moments, cite exact timestamps, publish accessible captions, and repurpose the same recording into blogs, newsletters, or study material — without manually typing every word.

What is this converter?

A podcast episodes transcriber uses speech recognition to turn uploaded audio or video (MP3, WAV, or MP4 podcast masters) into structured text. File Transcribe adds speaker labels and timestamps so you can verify quotes, export subtitles, and build a searchable archive when you sign in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I transcribe podcast episodes?

Upload your recording (MP3, WAV, or MP4 podcast masters) on this page. You'll get editable text with timestamps — free within guest limits, no signup required.

What formats work for podcast episodes?

MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV, and most common recorder exports. Video files transcribe the audio track.

How accurate is the transcription?

AI transcription is fast but always proofread names, numbers, and domain terms before publishing or submitting.

Can I export subtitles?

Yes — sign in free to export SRT and VTT. Guest users can download TXT after transcribing.

Do I need an account?

No for your first tries on this page. Sign in to save transcripts and unlock subtitle export.

Do Apple Podcasts or Spotify require transcripts?

Apple Podcasts supports transcript files for discoverability. Spotify and other platforms benefit from show notes derived from transcripts even when not required. Export TXT or SRT here and paste into your host.

Should I transcribe the raw master or the published MP3?

Either works. The published MP3 is usually enough. If you have a clean WAV master with less compression, use that for slightly better first drafts.

How do show notes differ from a full transcript?

Show notes are a summary with links and timestamps. A full transcript captures every word — use both: transcript for quotes and search, show notes for the episode page.
