Podcast & Audio Transcriber
Pricing
from $3.00 / 1,000 audio minute transcribeds
Podcast RSS feeds and audio/video files to text with Whisper large-v3-turbo: clean transcript, timestamped markdown, SRT/VTT subtitles and RAG-ready chunks. Uses the show's own transcript when its feed has one ($0.002 flat). Pay per minute, nothing for failures; monitor mode does new episodes only.
You can access the Podcast & Audio Transcriber programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
