How AI podcast transcription works

Paste a link. Get a transcript in 1 minute.

When you submit a podcast link, Podtyper downloads the audio and sends it through a speech recognition model (Deepgram Nova-3). The model converts the audio to text, then a process called speaker diarization splits the audio by speaker and labels each segment. A large language model runs a second pass to generate a summary and pull out key topics and quotes. Most episodes finish in 1 minute.

YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts

If the episode is publicly available on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts, Podtyper can transcribe it. No RSS feeds to dig up, no file uploads, no extra steps.

Export as PDF, TXT, SRT, or VTT

SRT (SubRip Text) is the standard format for video subtitles. VTT (Web Video Text Tracks) is the W3C standard for web captions. Podtyper exports to both, plus PDF and plain text. Need a Spotify episode as a document? See how to export a Spotify podcast transcript as PDF.

AI summaries, quotes & key takeaways

Alongside the transcript you get an AI summary, topic tags, the best quotes, and key takeaways. All generated automatically, nothing extra to set up. Want notes from a Spotify episode? See how to create notes from a Spotify podcast.

What is Podtyper?

Podtyper is a podcast transcription tool that converts spoken audio from podcast episodes into written text. Paste a public link from YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts and get a full transcript with speaker labels, timestamps, and an AI-generated summary in 1 minute. According to Edison Research's The Infinite Dial, over 183 million Americans listened to podcasts in 2024. Almost none of that audio is searchable or skimmable without a transcript.

Our Mission

We built this to save our own time

We love podcasts. We also don't have three hours a day to listen to them.

Most episodes bury the actually useful part somewhere in the middle, past the sponsor reads and the small talk. We kept missing things. So we built something that just gives you the text.

One hour saved a week. That's it.
