PodText

PodText is an AI transcription tool built specifically for podcasts. It turns episodes into accurate, timestamped text you can read, search, and reuse, and keeps everything private by default.

What it does

• Import from where you already listen: paste an Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Xiaoyuzhou, or iHeart episode or show link, a YouTube video with captions, any RSS feed or direct audio URL, or upload your own audio or video file (up to 500 MB and 6 hours).
• Pick episodes from a show: for supported show links, PodText lists the episodes so you can choose exactly what to transcribe, and shows the credit cost before you confirm.
• Transcribe in 99+ languages: the language is detected automatically, or you can set it yourself.
• Read with the audio: the transcript highlights in sync with playback, and every timestamp is clickable so you can jump straight to that moment.
• Get the key ideas fast: each transcript comes with an AI-written lead, chapter headings, a summary, key points, and notable quotes.
• Search and export: full-text search inside every transcript, and export to Markdown, SRT, VTT, or TXT.
• Private by design: your transcripts are never published, indexed, or shared. There is no public directory and no social feed.

Who it is for

• Heavy podcast listeners who want to find, revisit, and quote what they heard without scrubbing through hours of audio.
• Creators who repurpose episodes into articles, show notes, newsletters, or subtitles.
• Learners who study with podcasts and want text to review alongside the audio.
• Researchers and analysts who need to pull quotes and facts from long-form interviews.

Pricing Simple and transparent: 1 credit transcribes 1 minute of audio. Every new account gets 60 free minutes once, with no credit card required. After that, choose a monthly plan or a one-time credit pack.

PodText works in any modern browser, with the interface available in English and Chinese.
