Open the “Subtitles” tab on the left-hand sidebar and select “Auto Subtitles.” A text transcript of your podcast audio will automatically generate.

Download your transcript by clicking on the “Download” icon above the generated subtitle window. You can choose to download your text file as .VTT, .TXT, or .SRT.

Transcribing podcast audio to text made easy

Speed up your editing process with a transcribed podcast

Save hours of time having to listen back to your podcast audio file and never transcribe podcasts yourself again. Kapwing’s free online podcast transcript generator turns podcast audio to text quickly and accurately, so you can focus more on editing podcasts instead of seeking through your content.

Boost SEO ranking with text-based content

Get creative! Repurpose podcast text transcripts for social media captions, blog posts, articles, and other online platforms. Podcast transcriptions also boost your content’s SEO significantly. Search engines like Google use text-based content to determine the relevance of a website or page. By adding text transcripts to podcasts, you provide search engines with more medium to index and increase the ranking of your content.
