Splits the transcript by who is talking.
A hint helps when you know exactly how many voices are in the room.
Use “split more readily” when similar voices get merged, and “keep together” when one person is split into several speakers.
Labels support and sales calls by role instead of “Speaker 1”.

FROM EPISODE TO TRANSCRIPT
What is a podcast transcription service?
A podcast transcription service turns the spoken conversation in an episode into text. TranscribeAny recognizes speech in your episode and creates a transcript you can review, search, quote and publish alongside the show.
Use transcripts for show notes, blog posts, social quotes, captions for video podcasts and accessible episode pages. The transcript captures recognized speech, not the music itself. Review any words recognized during intro music or jingles.

Podcast transcription service: frequently asked questions
Can I try it without signing up?
Yes. The anonymous demo includes one recording per day, up to 10 minutes. Your allowance resets at midnight UTC. Security checks enforce this limit across browser sessions and shared networks.
Which podcast file formats are supported?
MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC and video podcasts such as MP4 all work. Your device prepares the audio track before sending it for transcription. Demo files can be up to 3 GB, and the recording must be no longer than 10 minutes.
Will hosts and guests be labeled separately?
With speaker detection enabled, uploaded episodes can receive labels such as Speaker 1 and Speaker 2. Review the separation and rename speakers to your host and guest names before exporting. Live recordings can also add speaker labels after you stop when the Speaker labels option is on.
What happens to my temporary audio and transcript?
Demo audio is submitted for processing without being stored in your TranscribeAny library. Temporary transcript content is automatically deleted within 24 hours and becomes unavailable after 23 hours. Download your transcript before it expires. Limited hashed security records are retained for seven days.
Which formats can I export for show notes and captions?
All 15 export formats are available, including PDF, Word and TXT transcripts to use as a starting point for show notes, plus timed captions such as SRT and VTT for video podcasts.
