Podcast Transcription FAQ
How do I transcribe a podcast episode?
Upload your podcast episode file (MP3, WAV, M4A, or other formats) to NovaScribe. Our AI automatically transcribes the audio, detects speakers (host vs guests), and generates timestamps. Most episodes are transcribed in minutes, not hours.
Does podcast transcription identify different speakers?
Yes, NovaScribe includes automatic speaker detection (diarization). When your podcast has multiple speakers—host, co-host, guests—the system labels each speaker separately (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.). You can rename them in the editor for clarity.
What can I do with my podcast transcript?
Turn one episode into multiple pieces of content: create show notes for your website, repurpose as blog posts, extract quotes for social media, generate YouTube captions (SRT/VTT export), improve SEO with searchable text, and make your content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners.
How long does it take to transcribe a podcast?
A typical 1-hour podcast episode is transcribed in about 5-10 minutes. Processing time depends on audio length and quality, but most podcasts complete quickly. You can close your browser while processing—we'll keep your transcript ready.
What audio formats work for podcast transcription?
NovaScribe supports all common podcast formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, and AAC. We also support video formats (MP4, MOV) if you record video podcasts—we'll extract the audio automatically.
Can I transcribe podcasts in different languages?
Yes, NovaScribe supports 99 languages for transcription. Whether your podcast is in English, Spanish, French, German, or another language, our AI can handle it. Language is detected automatically or can be specified manually.
How much does podcast transcription cost?
NovaScribe uses pay-per-minute pricing starting at $2/month for 200 minutes. A typical 1-hour podcast episode costs less than $0.50 to transcribe. No wasted subscription fees—you only pay for what you use.
Can I export subtitles for YouTube from my podcast transcript?
Yes, export your transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files with timestamps. Upload these directly to YouTube, Vimeo, or other video platforms to add captions to your video podcast or audiogram content.
Note: Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, number of speakers, and speaking clarity. Background music may affect results.
