What the Full Transcript Is For
A 200-word share is fine for social posts. Research notes, articles and fact-checks need the whole conversation with timestamps.
Apple’s transcripts cover eleven languages. Episodes in Polish, Japanese or Hindi can be transcribed from the same link.
Transcribe, correct and export VTT or SRT, then add it to your RSS feed so Apple shows your version.

Before You Paste an Episode Link
Most Apple Podcasts links work. These are the exceptions.
Episode, not show
Copy the episode’s own link
In the app tap ••• → Share Episode → Copy Link. A show link has no single episode to transcribe.
Subscriptions
Paid episodes stay paid
Subscriber-only episodes aren’t in the public feed and can’t be fetched. Creators can upload their own files instead.
Length
Long episodes are fine
Three-hour interviews work as one link. The free trial transcribes the first 10 minutes of long files; paid plans do the rest.
How to Transcribe an Apple Podcasts Episode
From link or file to editable text in three steps.
In Apple Podcasts tap ••• → Share Episode → Copy Link, or copy it from podcasts.apple.com.
Paste under Paste a link, choose the language and turn on speaker recognition.
Find any moment by word, copy quotes with their time, export DOCX, TXT or SRT.
