Podcast Transcriber: Episodes to Text + SRT
Transcribe podcast episodes to text from any RSS feed or Apple Podcasts link. Pick the latest episodes, or filter by date or title. Every episode comes back with its transcript and SRT and VTT subtitle files. Uses Whisper large-v3-turbo, which handles 99 languages and episodes up to 10 hours.
$0.008 per audio minute, subtitles included. A 45-minute episode costs $0.36. Failed or skipped episodes are free.
What you get for each episode
- Podcast name, episode title, publish date, episode page and audio links
- The full transcript and its detected language
- SRT and WebVTT subtitles plus a TXT file (links in each row; files in the run's key-value store)
- Timed segments (optional)
How to use it
- Paste one or more podcast RSS feeds or Apple Podcasts show links.
- Choose how many of the latest episodes to transcribe (default 1).
- Optional: transcribe only episodes after a date, or with a word in the title.
- Run.
Get every new episode automatically: save the input as a task, set "Only episodes published after" to the date of your last run, and add an Apify schedule. Then connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Notion, Slack or a webhook.
Common uses
- Show notes, blog posts and newsletters from each new episode
- Searchable archives of a show's back catalogue
- Monitoring what is said about a brand or topic across podcasts
- Feeding episode transcripts to an LLM for summaries, quotes and clips
- Subtitles for the video version of an episode
Pricing
Pay per event, nothing monthly:
| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Audio minute transcribed (started minutes, subtitles included) | $0.008 |
| Actor start | $0.00005 |
Higher Apify plans get 10–30% off the per-minute price.
- 30-minute episode: $0.24
- 1-hour episode: $0.48
- 10 one-hour episodes: $4.80
The free $5 monthly Apify credit covers about 10 hours of episodes. "Maximum minutes per episode" and Apify's maximum charge per run keep the cost capped.
Notes
- Spotify-only shows (exclusives) have no public RSS feed and cannot be used. Most shows on Spotify also publish an RSS feed: search the show name plus "RSS", or use its Apple Podcasts link.
- Private or paid feeds: a private RSS link with its token works, as long as the audio files can be downloaded.
- Single audio or video files: use our Audio & Video Transcriber actor instead (same price).
