Podcast to Text
Upload a podcast episode or paste a link — AI turns speech into text with the host and guests separated and timestamps for show notes, articles, and quotes.
Podcast transcription — text for show notes, articles, and SEO
Transcribing a podcast to text is needed by creators and editors: from an episode it's convenient to build show notes, a text version for the website, quotes for social media, and an article based on the conversation. DictAI turns a podcast into text automatically — upload the episode's audio file or paste a link, and the AI recognizes the speech with speaker labels. A text version also helps SEO: the podcast becomes available to search and to readers who don't listen to audio.
A podcast usually has several voices — a host and guests — and it matters who says what. The AI labels lines by speaker (diarization), so the dialogue doesn't merge into one stream. Timestamps tie each fragment to a moment in the episode — handy to build chapter timecodes and quickly find the right spot. Recognition works in 35+ languages and handles mixed Russian-English speech.
The source can be audio or video: upload a file (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4) or paste a link from YouTube, Rutube, VK, and 1,000+ platforms. The finished text is edited right in the browser — handy to label speakers and clean up filler words — and exported to TXT, DOCX, or PDF, and to SRT and VTT with timestamps for a video podcast. For long episodes an AI summary is available — a short digest of the key ideas (a paid-plan feature).
Transcribing a podcast saves hours of manual typing: instead of typing out an hour-long episode by ear, the author works with the text right away — building show notes, cutting quotes, preparing an article. You can start for free — 30 minutes of transcription with no card required. Accuracy depends on recording quality: with clear sound and people speaking in turn, the AI recognizes and separates speakers more accurately than with noise or people talking over each other.
