Paste a link from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Xiaoyuzhou, podcast.de or a public RSS feed — it finds the matching public audio automatically — or upload an audio or video file up to 1 GB and 6 hours. Transcription runs in 99+ languages in a private workspace, and results export as TXT, Markdown, SRT or VTT, with Markdown and subtitle formats carrying the time codes.
