Timestamps are the only index
You cannot skim an hour of talk by dragging a progress bar — there are no visual cues to land on. Each segment carries its start and end time, so the transcript becomes the thing you search instead of the audio.

#1 in speech-to-text accuracy
Built for audio with nothing to look at
Every other tool here reads a video. This Spotify transcript generator reads audio instead, and a podcast has no picture — which changes what a transcript is for.
How to get a Spotify transcript
Create a Spotify transcript from a public video URL, then copy or export the text as TXT, SRT or WebVTT.
What a Spotify transcript gives you
Speech turned into text you can correct, quote and publish — not a summary and not a paraphrase.
The words that were said
A verbatim pass over the episode audio, kept editable in the browser so you can fix a name or a term before exporting.
Searchable in seconds
Find the sentence you half-remember without replaying the episode, then jump to its timestamp in your player.
Ready to reuse
Show notes, quotes, chapters and accessibility captions all start from the same text.
Three exports from one episode
Pick the format the next tool in your workflow expects. Timings survive in all three.
Ways to use a Spotify transcript
Turn Spotify videos into searchable text, captions and subtitle files without replaying the same video or rebuilding captions by hand.

Spotify transcription questions
How the tool handles podcast audio, and where its limits are.
Copy the episode's share link from Spotify, paste it into the Spotify transcript generator above, and start the job. The audio is transcribed into timestamped segments you can edit in the browser before exporting TXT, SRT or WebVTT.
Those read the audio track of a video, and you can always cross-check the result against the picture. A Spotify episode has no picture — an hour of talk with nothing to scan. That makes the transcript the only index of the episode, which is why timestamps and the subtitle exports matter more here than they do on a thirty-second clip.
A show link resolves, but each transcription job covers one piece of audio. For a back catalogue, run the episodes you need individually — credits are charged per audio minute, so you only pay for what you transcribe.
No. The link has to be publicly accessible without a login. Subscriber-only and unlisted episodes cannot be opened, and you should only transcribe audio you own or have permission to process.
Not automatically. The output is continuous timestamped text rather than a diarised script, so on a multi-guest interview you would add the speaker labels yourself while editing.
Track links resolve and sung lyrics will often transcribe, but accuracy drops sharply against instrumentation, layered vocals, and heavy production. Spoken-word audio is what this is built for.
Yes. Once a transcript is finished it can be translated into any of 107 target languages, with the original timings preserved so translated subtitles stay in sync.
Credits are charged per audio minute, rounded up to the next whole minute, and a job that fails is never charged. A one-hour episode is billed as sixty minutes.
