Podcast Transcriber — episode transcripts by podcast name
Type a podcast's name and get its latest episodes as text. You can also paste an Apple Podcasts link or an RSS feed. Each episode comes back as timestamped passages of about 30 seconds, with the podcast name, the episode title and the publish date on every row. Whisper transcribes inside the Actor, so there's no API key and no speech service.
Quick start: press Start with no configuration. It finds NASA Daily by name and transcribes the first 3 minutes of its two newest episodes. Then type the podcasts you follow.
Sample output
| podcast | episodeTitle | startTime | text |
|---|---|---|---|
| NASA Daily | 360. NASA News October 30, 2026 | 0:00 | Welcome to NASA Daily, where we bring you all of NASA's previous days' proceedings… |
| NASA Daily | 360. NASA News October 30, 2026 | 0:26 | Both carry golden records, containing music, images, sounds, and greetings in 55 languages… |
| NASA Daily | 360. NASA News October 30, 2026 | 0:52 | …an approximately 800 gram Martian meteorite that formed more than 4.1 billion years ago… |
| NASA Daily | 360. NASA News October 30, 2026 | 1:20 | Together, the arrays will increase the station's power capacity by approximately 30%… |
These rows come from a run on 31 October 2026.
Every row also carries publishedAt, durationSeconds, episodeUrl, feedUrl, mediaUrl, passage/passageCount, startSeconds/endSeconds, language and status.
What you can do with it
- Follow podcasts without listening. Search, skim or summarise this week's episodes.
- Monitor what is said about your company or market. Run it on a schedule with Only episodes since.
- Pull quotes with timestamps for articles, newsletters and social posts.
- Give an AI agent a podcast. Each passage fits its context and carries the episode and the moment it came from.

It never guesses the podcast
A name search runs on Apple's podcast directory, which is fuzzy. A nonsense name still returns something. This Actor accepts a result only when every word you typed is in the podcast's title. Otherwise it skips the entry and names the closest matches, so you're never charged for transcribing the wrong show.
Every episode gets an answer
| status | Meaning | Charged |
|---|---|---|
ok | Transcribed, one row per passage | Yes, per started minute |
no-speech | The audio has no recognisable speech | Yes, per started minute |
not-media / download-failed | The episode file could not be read | No |
Only the minutes you ask for are streamed. Long episodes are not downloaded in full. The run respects your spending limit.
How it works
- Name or Apple link to feed. Apple's iTunes Search and Lookup APIs are documented, keyless, and built for exactly this.
- Feed to episodes. The RSS feed is what a podcast publishes so that apps can list its episodes.
- Episode to text. Whisper (base, 8-bit) runs on the Actor's own CPU, and ffmpeg decodes the audio.
Pricing
You pay per started minute of audio transcribed. Podcasts that can't be found and episodes that fail cost nothing.
Works well with
Same publisher, same output conventions, same honest-failure rules:
- audio-video-transcriber — Any audio or video file URL to timestamped text, with Whisper.
Disclaimer
This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with Apple or any podcast publisher. It reads only public podcast feeds and the episode files they list, through the interfaces published for apps. Make sure your use of the transcripts respects each podcast's rights.
