How to transcribe a podcast to text
Transcribing your podcast multiplies its reach: show notes boost your SEO, make the content accessible, and give you material for social, newsletters, or a blog, all from the audio you already recorded.
With Dolcenota you upload the episode and get the full transcript, with each participant identified, plus a summary for your show notes.
Transcribe a podcast in 3 steps
- 1
Upload the episode
Upload your podcast audio file — mp3, m4a, wav and more — or the video if you record in video format (we transcribe only the audio).
- 2
AI transcribes and identifies participants
Dolcenota separates host and guests, and you can give each one their name. It detects English and Spanish — great for episodes with international guests.

Create your show notes
Use the automatic summary as the basis for your show notes, and ask the AI for headlines or pull quotes for social. Export to TXT or PDF.
More reach from the same audio
A transcript published on your site is indexable content: Google can find your episode by what was said in it, not just the title.
And the summary saves you the manual work of writing show notes: you start from a draft you just have to polish.
For podcast creators
- Show notes ready to publish.
- Quotes and headlines to promote the episode on social.
- Accessibility: a text version for people who'd rather read.
Frequently asked questions
Does it identify the host and guests?
Yes. Dolcenota separates the conversation by speaker and you can rename each participant to their real name.
Is it good for show notes?
Yes. The automatic summary is a great basis for show notes; you just review and publish.
How long an episode can I transcribe?
You can transcribe long episodes. The free plan includes minutes each month; for frequent podcasts a paid plan makes sense.
Which languages does it support?
English and Spanish, with automatic detection, even when mixed.
Does it generate timed subtitles?
The transcript includes per-segment timestamps; export is to text (TXT) or PDF, not to a subtitle file.
