Users can generate transcripts by pasting links from popular podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and podcast.de, as well as RSS feeds and accessible YouTube captions. Alternatively, audio or video files up to 1 GB and 6 hours long can be directly uploaded. PodText processes these sources to produce highly accurate transcripts, which include timestamps, AI-generated summaries, and chapter markers, making audio content easily searchable, quotable, and exportable.
The service supports transcription in over 99 languages, with options for automatic language detection or manual selection. This broad language support extends to YouTube imports, depending on the available caption tracks. PodText emphasizes user privacy, ensuring that all transcripts created within a user's sign-in required workspace remain private and are not publicly published or indexed.
For new users, PodText provides 60 one-time free minutes of transcription credits without requiring a credit card. Credits are calculated per minute of audio, rounded up, and pay-as-you-go credits never expire. The platform also offers various subscription plans for regular users, with different credit allowances and concurrent task capabilities. Credits deducted for failed transcriptions are automatically refunded.
PodText is ideal for those who need to quickly find specific passages in long recordings, extract quotes for content creation, review educational material, or accurately cite sources for research. While it excels at transcribing recorded audio and video in a private workspace, it does not currently support live meeting bots, calendar/CRM integrations, or collaborative editing.
