Why podcasters use Captain Transcribe
Podcast discoverability lives or dies by text. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google all index transcripts to surface episodes in search. Listeners skim show notes before subscribing. Producing transcripts manually costs hours per episode — or hundreds of euros if you outsource. Captain Transcribe gives you a clean, editable transcript in minutes, with speaker labels for interviews and panel discussions, at a price designed for independent shows.

Podcast transcription FAQ
Does Captain Transcribe identify different speakers?
Yes, on supported plans. Speaker diarization automatically labels different voices, which is essential for interview podcasts and panel discussions. You can rename the labels in the editor.
How long does a one-hour episode take?
Typically 2 to 4 minutes from upload to download. Long-form episodes are split and processed in parallel, then reassembled into a single transcript.
Can I publish the transcript on my podcast site?
Absolutely. The transcript is yours — no licensing, no attribution required. Many podcasters publish full transcripts to improve SEO and accessibility for hearing-impaired listeners.
