Podcast Transcription FAQs

How do I transcribe a podcast?

Upload the episode's audio or video file, choose the language, and Maestra generates the transcript in minutes with speakers labeled. Review it in the editor, then share or download it.

Can I get a transcript of someone else's podcast?

If you have the episode file or it's on YouTube, upload it and transcribe away. For Spotify episodes, see our guide on how to get a Spotify podcast transcript.

Is there a free podcast transcription option?

Live transcription is completely free: play the episode and read it as text in real time. For uploaded episodes, a free trial lets you test the quality before choosing a plan.

How long can the episodes be?

Full-length episodes are fine. Upload an hour-plus recording in one file and get the whole transcript at once.

Does it label different speakers?

Hosts and guests are separated and labeled automatically, so interview episodes stay readable.

Can I turn the transcript into show notes or a summary?

The editor can summarize the transcript for you, a quick way to draft show notes, episode descriptions, and highlights.

Why should podcasters publish transcripts?

Search engines index text, not audio. A transcript makes every episode searchable, more accessible, and easier to repurpose into other content.

Do I need to install anything?

Everything runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. No downloads, no plugins.
