Transcription for podcasters, creators and newsrooms

Every episode is also a blog post, a clip, a thread, and an indexable page — but only if someone bothers to write it down. Transcrify makes that take ten minutes.

Stop throwing away your back catalogue

Every podcast episode is also a blog post, a YouTube clip, a thread, a newsletter, and a search-engine entry — but only if someone bothers to write it down. For most independent creators, "transcribe and repurpose" lives at the bottom of the to-do list, right under "fix the website" and "answer those DMs."

Transcrify makes the first step take ten minutes. Drop in your raw recording (or paste a YouTube URL — no download needed) and get a transcript that's accurate enough to ship straight to a show notes page. Speaker labels for interviews. SRT and VTT exports for captions. Timestamps for chapter markers. Search for the moment your guest said the thing about pricing strategy in episode 47.

For larger media operations — newsrooms, podcast networks, agencies — the same engine handles bulk uploads, hands transcripts back through an API, and slots into the existing publishing pipeline.

Case study

How a mid-tier podcast tripled its organic search traffic

"Show notes used to be the thing I dreaded. Now they write themselves and my SEO traffic has tripled because every episode is a real, indexable page."

Lena ran her podcast for two years before realising her episodes were essentially invisible to Google. The audio existed; the show notes were two-line summaries; nothing was searchable. Episodes lived for 48 hours on social, then died.

She started running every episode through Transcrify the same day she recorded it. The transcript became the foundation for a real show notes page — 1,000+ words, properly indexed, with the conversation broken into searchable chapters. Captions started going up on the YouTube cuts the same day.

Six months later her organic search traffic was up over 3x and back-catalogue episodes from a year prior were now driving downloads. "I didn't write a single new episode to make this happen," she said. "I just stopped throwing the audio away."

Questions creators ask before they switch

Can I transcribe a YouTube video by URL?

Yes — paste the URL, no download needed. We handle the audio extraction.

Will captions sync correctly when uploaded to YouTube?

Yes — exported SRT/VTT files match YouTube's timestamp format exactly. Same for Vimeo, Spotify and most podcast hosts.

Can I edit the transcript before exporting captions?

Yes — built-in editor lets you fix names, brand spellings or technical terms before generating the final SRT.

Does it handle chapter markers for podcast players?

Yes — the timestamped transcript can be turned into chapter points in the format your host expects (Spotify, Apple, Overcast).

How does it handle live recordings with audience noise?

It works, but accuracy on noisy environments is lower (typically 85–92% versus 97%+ for studio recordings). Still highly usable as a draft.
