A podcast transcript makes spoken material searchable and easier to reuse. Upload the episode audio to the audio transcription tool, then review the timestamped result before using it for show notes, quotations, accessibility, or an article draft.
A full transcript and concise show notes serve different jobs. Keep the transcript as the complete record. Build show notes from the episode's main ideas, mentioned resources, guest information, and selected timestamps. Do not publish an unreviewed automated summary as if it were the speaker's exact wording.
Separate microphones, balanced levels, and limited cross-talk make speaker labels and wording more reliable. If a remote guest has a weak connection, use locally recorded tracks when available. See supported formats before exporting your final audio.
