MayaThe reason podcasts are hard to quote is that sound disappears the moment you hear it.

TomRight. Text sits still. You can search it, mark it up, send it to someone.

MayaSo the trick is turning an hour of audio into a page your eyes can skim in three minutes.

From link to page

  1. Paste a link

    Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, an RSS feed, or your own audio file. Anything with a voice in it.

  2. The tape runs

    We fetch the audio and transcribe it, speakers and all. Long episodes finish in a couple of minutes.

  3. Read it your way

    Search, copy, translate, summarize. Export when you're done:

    TXTSRTVTT

Spotify and Apple links are matched to the show's public RSS feed, so platform-exclusive episodes can't be transcribed. Long episodes finish in a couple of minutes. Leave the page open or come back to the link.

Frequently asked

How do I get a transcript of a Spotify podcast?

Paste the Spotify episode link into Scribetape. We match it to the show's public RSS feed and transcribe the audio into clean, timestamped text you can read, search, copy, and export.

Can I transcribe a YouTube video?

Yes. Paste any YouTube link and Scribetape downloads the audio and transcribes it. Apple Podcasts links and direct audio uploads (mp3, wav, m4a, flac) work too.

What export formats are supported?

Plain text (TXT), SubRip subtitles (SRT), and WebVTT (VTT). One click each.
