So when did you realize the newsletter was bigger than the podcast?

GuestTom Reyes

Honestly, when the transcripts started ranking. People found the episodes by searching for things we'd said.

That's a great clip. Let's take a quick break — this episode is brought to you by Brightline.

Who it's for

Built for podcasters, YouTubers, and content teams

Episodes, interviews, livestreams, and video — one upload becomes a transcript, captions, and the raw material for everything you publish next.

Podcasters

  • Publish a transcript with every episode so listeners and search engines can find it.
  • Name the host and each guest so the transcript reads like the show.
  • Pull key points and quotes for show notes with Ask AI (Business Pro and above).

YouTubers & video creators

  • Upload the full video, up to 5GB, and export SRT or VTT captions for YouTube Studio.
  • Translate the transcript to publish captions for viewers in other languages.
  • Turn a video into a blog post or newsletter draft from the transcript.

Social & content teams

  • Search every episode and interview for the moment worth clipping.
  • Use Clean & Readable to strip filler words from quotes before they go out.
  • Have new recordings in a Google Drive folder transcribed automatically.
Built for creators

Transcripts that are ready to publish

Tell the transcription who is on the show, which names matter, and how clean you want it — and get a transcript you can caption, quote, and post.

SRT and VTT captions

Export timed captions for YouTube, social clips, and your video editor straight from the transcript.

Guest names and brands

Add guest names, sponsors, and slang up front — up to 100 key terms per episode — to guide the transcription toward the right spellings.

Hosts and guests, by name

Automatic speaker detection, then name the speakers so transcripts and captions show who is talking.

Clean & Readable preset

Strip ums and filler words for a transcript you can publish, or keep every word with Verbatim.

Summaries for show notes

Every upload gets an AI summary, and Ask AI pulls chapters, key points, or quotes. Business Pro and above.

Translate for new audiences

Transcribe in 100+ languages and translate the transcript for captions and articles in other markets.

How it works

From episode to captions in three steps

Upload, sync, or ask your assistant — the transcript lands in the same place either way.

01

Upload the episode

Drop in the audio or video file up to 5GB, sync a Google Drive folder, or ask Claude or ChatGPT to upload it for you.

02

Brief the transcription

Name the host and guests, add up to 100 names and brands, and pick Clean & Readable or Verbatim.

03

Publish everywhere

Export captions for YouTube, a DOCX transcript for your site, and quotes for social.

Why WhisperAI

AI transcription vs doing it yourself

FAQ

Podcast transcription FAQ

Straight answers on captions, show notes, guests, and cost.

How much does podcast transcription cost?

The free plan includes 5 minutes a month with no credit card. Premium is $14.99 a month for 120 minutes, with unused minutes rolling over. Business Pro is $24.99 a month for unlimited minutes, which suits a weekly show or a regular upload schedule, and adds AI summaries.

Can I make captions for YouTube?

Yes. Export the transcript as SRT or VTT and upload it in YouTube Studio as a subtitle track. Timings come from the transcript, so the captions line up with the video.

Does it label hosts and guests?

Yes. Speakers are detected automatically, and you can name the host and each guest so the transcript and captions use real names instead of Speaker 1 and Speaker 2.

Will it spell guest names, sponsors and brands correctly?

Add up to 100 key terms per episode — guest names, sponsors, product names, slang — and WhisperAI uses them to guide the transcription toward the right spellings.

Can I upload video files?

Yes. Upload MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and other common video formats up to 5GB per file. The audio is extracted and transcribed automatically.

Can it write show notes?

On Business Pro and above, every upload gets an AI summary and you can use Ask AI to pull key points, chapters or quotes to build show notes from. On every plan you can search the transcript to find the moments worth clipping.

Will music or crosstalk affect the transcript?

They can. Speech over a music bed and people talking over each other are the hardest parts for any transcription tool. Uploading the clean voice track when your editor exports one, and adding guest names as key terms, give the best results.

Can I publish in other languages?

Yes. WhisperAI transcribes more than 100 languages and can translate a finished transcript, so you can publish captions and articles for viewers in other markets.
