PodText

PodText is an AI transcription tool built for podcasts, turning episodes into readable, searchable text with timestamps. Import from major podcast platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Xiaoyuzhou), RSS feeds, YouTube videos with accessible captions, or upload your own audio/video recording. Once transcribed, you can read along with the episode, jump to key moments, and quickly find the exact passage you need.

The transcript is more than plain text. PodText generates chapters and an AI-written set of highlights such as an episode summary, key points, and notable quotes. Every timestamp is clickable so you can move directly to the moment in the audio, while full-text search helps you locate topics without scrubbing through hours of playback.

PodText supports 99+ languages, with automatic language detection or manual selection. Exports are available for Markdown, SRT, VTT, or TXT, making it suitable for turning podcast content into show notes, subtitles, transcripts, or research notes.

Your workspace is private by default: transcripts are not published, indexed, or shared. Audio/video uploads support files up to 1 GB and up to 6 hours per file.

Pricing is credit-based. After signup, you get 60 one-time free minutes (60 one-time credits) with no credit card required. Then, each minute of audio uses 1 credit (rounded up), and you can choose monthly/yearly plans or purchase one-time credit top-ups (100 credits for $10 or 250 credits for $20).
