Description
Readpodcast AI converts podcast episodes and YouTube videos into complete, searchable transcripts so long-form audio and video become as easy to read, search, and study as text. You paste a Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or RSS link, or search for a show, and the tool uses speech recognition to generate an accurate transcript with speaker recognition and clickable timestamps, typically within a few minutes.

Beyond transcription, Readpodcast AI provides Insights that organize any transcribed episode into a concise summary, essential keywords, standout quotes, key takeaways, and an interactive mind map. A Chat feature lets you question a transcribed episode directly, and answers stay grounded in the full transcript rather than drifting into generic responses. The transcript scrolls in sync with playback, and full-text search helps you jump straight to a quote, name, or key argument.
The tool supports podcasts from Spotify and Apple Podcasts, shows with public RSS feeds, and most public YouTube videos; private, subscriber-only, or age-restricted content may be unavailable. The interface is available in 12 languages, transcription supports most major spoken languages, and summaries and chat follow the language of the source.
An account is required. Free accounts include 150 credits per month with no credit card, enough to unlock a few episodes. Paid plans (Lite, Standard, and Pro) add more monthly credits, transcript export, and transcript-grounded AI Chat on higher tiers. It is aimed at students, researchers, professionals, creators, and language learners who prefer to read and study long-form content.
