A closet with egg-box foam on the walls.

And that's where episode one came from.

What Podcasters Do with Their Transcripts
A full transcript on the episode page gives search engines everything the audio can’t — long-tail keywords in your guests’ own words.
The transcript is 80% of an article. Edit the best segments into a post and publish while the episode is fresh.

Loved by Creators, Teams and Researchers
Rated Excellent 4.8/5 based on 580+ reviews
Every audiogram and reel now ships with clean subtitles. Engagement on muted feeds jumped.
Uploaded a two-hour recording during lunch — the transcript was waiting before I finished my coffee. The accuracy genuinely surprised me.
Our legal team approved it because processing stays on EU infrastructure. That alone ruled out most of the competition.
Round-table episodes used to be untranscribable. Speaker labels keep every voice straight.
Transcribed 80 old episodes in batches — now the whole archive is searchable and quotable for socials.
No card, no tricks — I tested real files before paying and upgraded a week later because the workflow stuck.
Had trouble with a huge file — support walked me through batch upload the same morning. Rare these days.

It depends on your workflow. Descript is best if you edit the episode by editing its transcript. Riverside suits shows recorded remotely in its own studio. TurboScribe is the cheapest for one person with a large backlog: unlimited files for $20 a month. BlaBlaScribe is built for turning episodes into transcripts, subtitles and show notes, including multilingual shows: speaker labels in 120+ languages, and 50 one-hour episodes cost $93–99 a month. Start with 30 free minutes.
Speaker separation is automatic and holds up on round tables and interviews. Accuracy reaches 99.8% on clear audio, and the editor makes fixing names quick.
The transcript gives you the raw material — quotes, chapters, timestamps — and the AI summary distils key points. Most podcasters edit that into show notes in minutes rather than writing from scratch.
