You do not have to change how you record. Paste the published episode link or upload the file you already have.
Show notes from the text
A full transcript makes writing show notes a matter of reading rather than re-listening, with a timestamp on every line.
Guests get their own labels
Speaker detection on Premium separates host from guest, and you can put their real names in before exporting.
Long episodes are fine
Two and three hour episodes queue in the background instead of timing out.
Every format from one transcript
TXT for notes, SRT for a video version, DOCX for review and JSON for anything automated.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Podcastle alternative?
LongScribe's free plan includes 60 transcription minutes a month across up to 20 recordings, and a short clip runs with no account.
Can it label who said what?
Yes, on Premium. Speaker detection splits the recording into turns and the names you set carry into every download.
Does it handle long recordings?
Yes. Multi-hour files queue in the background rather than timing out.
Can I turn an episode into show notes?
Yes. Search the transcript by timestamp, pull quotes and topics, then export TXT or DOCX for the episode page.
