Questions

How do I transcribe a podcast episode to text?

Paste a Spotify episode link, or search for the podcast or episode by name. Podskrift downloads the audio and transcribes it with OpenAI Whisper. You get the full text plus an .srt subtitle file. No file to upload and no feed URL to find first.

Hvordan transkriberer jeg en norsk podcast til tekst?

Lim inn en Spotify-lenke, eller søk opp podkasten eller episoden på navn. Podskrift laster ned lyden og transkriberer den med OpenAI Whisper. Du får hele teksten og en .srt-fil med teksting. Velg norsk i språkvelgeren, så slipper du at den gjetter feil.

Which languages does it handle well?

28 languages, from English, Spanish and Mandarin to Norwegian, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. You can name the language rather than relying on auto-detect, which matters on short or accented audio: Whisper treats the choice as a constraint rather than a hint.

Is it free?

The free trial covers 180 minutes of audio in total (about 3 hours). For longer episodes, or once the trial is used up, add your own OpenAI API key: a 90-minute episode costs about $0.54 at OpenAI's rate. Or buy a one-time pack: $5 for 300 minutes (5 hours), VAT included, paid via Stripe — no subscription.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

Not to start. The free trial runs on ours. Add your own key when the trial runs out and there is no limit beyond what you spend at OpenAI.

What file formats do I get?

Plain text (.txt) and SubRip subtitles (.srt) with timestamps.

Can I transcribe a podcast that is not in the search index?

Yes. Paste the RSS feed URL instead and pick the episode from the feed.

Is there an HTTP API?

Yes. Create a key in Settings (psk_…) and call the API to resolve an episode, start a transcription, then fetch the transcript — Bearer or X-Api-Key. Same 180 minutes free trial as the web UI. Curl examples and status codes: /docs/api.
