These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Open a new Descript project and drag your podcast audio file into the workspace. Upload MP3, WAV, MP4, or another recognized format—our Podcast Transcript Generator supports them all. You can even handle multiple episodes in a single session.
02
After uploading, you’ll be prompted to generate your podcast transcript. Indicate how many participants spoke, label them, and let Descript’s speaker detective match each voice to the audio seamlessly.
03
Now that you have a fresh transcript, consider removing filler words like “um” with a quick right-click. Deleting words in the text also removes them from audio or video. Once you’re satisfied, go to Publish > Export to download your finished podcast transcript.
Using Descript’s advanced speech-to-text engine, your podcast episodes arrive in the editor at up to 95% accuracy. Each transcript includes timecodes and speaker labels for quick corrections, and you’ll skip the chore of typing every single word.
Descript’s AI goes beyond ordinary speech-to-text. It detects speakers, adds timecodes, and removes filler words like “um” or “uh.” Your final transcript remains clean and efficient, so you can focus on polishing or repurposing your content.
After the transcript is complete, Descript’s AI instantly converts your text into polished show notes, chapters, social media captions, or blog posts. Use our integrated Podcast Transcript Generator to push your podcast to transcript for multiple channels without heavy lifting. Our system helps you maximize every episode.
