Can I transcribe my podcast for free?

Yes. AudioPod's transcription is free to start in your browser with no card required, so you can transcribe and preview an episode right away. Sign up to export full SRT/VTT/TXT/JSON formats, handle longer files, and unlock speaker labels.

Will it tell apart my host and guests?

Yes. Speaker diarization detects who spoke when and labels each speaker separately, which is ideal for interview-style shows and panel episodes.

What formats can I export for show notes and captions?

You can export plain text for show notes and blogs, JSON for custom workflows, and SRT or VTT caption files with timestamps for video versions of your episodes.
