Podcast Transcripts
for Journalists

Stop scrubbing through audio looking for quotes. Paste a podcast URL, and in minutes you get a searchable transcript you can quote, fact-check, and cite.

Why journalists use Podtyper

Pull quotes in seconds

Search the full transcript for a name or topic. Jump to the exact timestamp and grab the quote instead of replaying audio to catch that one line.

Fact-check faster

Verify each statement against the surrounding dialogue before publishing. No more skimming through audio to check a single claim.

Cite with timestamps

Every transcript includes speaker labels and timecodes. Export as PDF or plain text with timestamps ready for citations.

Edit before publishing

The speaker labeller lets you rename generic labels to real names. Review and edit the transcript directly in your browser before using it in a story.
