Podcast Transcript Generator
Get the full transcript of any podcast episode on YouTube — free, timestamped, and searchable.
Free · No sign-up · Works on any public YouTube video
Read a podcast instead of listening to all of it
Podcasts are long — two and three hours is normal — and most of any given episode is not what you came for. A transcript lets you find the segment that matters, read the good part at your own pace, and quote it accurately, without scrubbing through hours of audio.
If the episode is published on YouTube, paste its link to get the full transcript free. Every line is timestamped, so you can jump back to the exact moment in the episode whenever you need the audio.
Built for long episodes
Extracts the complete transcript of multi-hour episodes at once, not just the part currently on screen.
Find the segment

Quote accurately
Timestamped lines let you cite what was said and link back to the moment for verification.
Summarize with AI
Turn a three-hour conversation into key points and takeaways so you know whether it is worth a full listen.
