Transcripts
Every episode is transcribed on arrival with speaker labels and timestamps. Search the whole archive to find the moment you half-remember, quote yourself correctly, and give search engines something to actually index. The transcript is also what every other draft in Podlink is written from.
- Speaker labels and timestamps, not a wall of text
- Search across every episode you have published, not just the last one
- Quote a guest accurately without scrubbing through the audio
- The source your show notes, clips and social copy are generated from
Transcribed on arrival, not on request
You don't queue anything. When an episode shows up in your feed, Podlink transcribes it and the text is waiting when you open the episode. Speakers are separated and every line is timestamped, so jumping from a sentence to the moment in the audio is one click rather than a hunt.
- Speaker labels for hosts and guests
- Timestamps down to the line
- Ready before you have finished writing the episode title
Your back catalogue becomes searchable
Two years of episodes is a research archive you cannot currently read. Search the transcript archive and the answer to "which episode was that story in?" takes seconds. It changes what you can do with old work: pull a callback, find the clip you always meant to cut, check whether you have already covered a topic before you book the guest.
- Search names, topics and phrases across the whole show
- Land on the exact line, with the timestamp attached
- Useful the day you connect your feed, because the back catalogue imports with it
It is the substrate for everything else
Show notes, chapter timestamps, clip suggestions and social copy are all generated from the transcript rather than from a guess about what a podcast episode usually contains. That is why the summary reflects what was actually said, and why a takeaway can be traced back to the line it came from.
- Summaries and takeaways are grounded in the transcript
- Clip suggestions come from moments that exist in the audio
- Names, companies and links are pulled from what was said, not invented
Transcripts questions
How accurate is the transcription?
Good enough to publish after a skim, and reliably good on ordinary conversation. Unusual names, product names and heavy crosstalk are where any transcription tool struggles, so those are the lines worth a glance before you post it.
Can I fix mistakes?
Yes. The transcript is editable text — correct a name once and use the corrected version everywhere you need it.
Does it work in languages other than English?
Yes, across the major podcasting languages. If your show is bilingual, transcribe it in the language it was recorded in and generate the written output in the language your audience reads.
Can I publish the transcript with my episode?
That's what most shows do with it. Copy it out and put it on your episode page — a full transcript is one of the few things a podcast can give a search engine to index, and it makes the episode usable for anyone who would rather read.
Your next episode could publish itself
Connect your feed, publish as normal, and find the show notes, clips, newsletter and social copy already waiting for you.
