Transcribe podcast episodes to text
Paste an RSS feed, episode URL, or upload a recording. Get a full transcript with speaker labels — ready for show notes, articles, and clips.
From podcast audio to publish-ready text in minutes
A single podcast episode can contain thousands of words of expert insight, buried in an hour of audio that nobody will search, skim, or quote. Vocova transcribes entire episodes with speaker labels, so you can produce show notes, pull quotes, write companion blog posts, and create social clips — all from one transcript. Paste an RSS feed to pick specific episodes, or drop in a direct audio URL.

Features
RSS feed episode selection
Paste your podcast's RSS feed URL and browse the full episode catalog. Select any episode to transcribe without hunting for direct audio links.
Multi-speaker diarization
Solo monologues, two-person interviews, and 5-person panel discussions are all handled. Each speaker is detected and labeled throughout the transcript.
Ad segment awareness
Dynamically inserted ads appear in podcast audio and will be included in the transcript. You'll see them as clearly separate speaker segments, making them easy to identify and skip past.
Long-form episode support
Podcast episodes routinely run 1–3 hours. Vocova handles full-length episodes without truncation, maintaining accuracy across the entire duration.
Show notes as primary output
The timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript is ready to be edited into show notes. Copy key segments, pull quotes, and create episode summaries directly from the text.
Why choose Vocova
Produce show notes in minutes, not hours
Stop listening to the entire episode again to write show notes. Search the transcript for key moments, copy the relevant quotes, and publish.
Repurpose episodes into written content
One 60-minute interview contains enough material for multiple blog posts, social threads, and newsletter editions. The transcript is your content mine.
Make episodes searchable and discoverable
Podcast audio is invisible to search engines. Publish transcripts alongside episodes so listeners can find your show through Google.
Create audiogram clips with precision
Timestamps in the transcript let you identify the exact moments worth clipping, so you can create audiograms and social clips without scrubbing through audio.
