Transcribe podcasts from links or RSS

Paste a public episode URL from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Xiaoyuzhou, or an RSS feed URL, to generate a timestamped transcript in your browser.

Apple Podcasts · Spotify · Xiaoyuzhou · any RSS feed

LangBox downloads the episode's public audio only to transcribe it, then deletes the audio. The transcript stays in your account.

Source rules and transcription limits

  • Requires public podcast audio; Spotify links work only when the show publishes a public RSS feed, not on exclusive or private audio.
  • Guests can transcribe 2 episodes per day (up to 60 min each); signed-in users get up to 3 hours per episode and speaker labels up to 75 min.
  • Transcripts are generated by AI and may contain recognition or speaker-label errors on noisy or overlapping audio.

Questions

Which languages are supported?
English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French and Spanish are recognized well, and the language is detected automatically. Episodes that mix two languages work too.
Is it free?
Without an account you can transcribe 2 episodes a day, each up to 60 minutes. With a Google account you get episodes up to 3 hours and a more accurate model; it uses your credits, and new accounts get free credits.
Where do I find a podcast's RSS feed?
Most podcast apps show it under “Share” or in the show's details. You can also paste the show's Apple Podcasts page: LangBox reads its feed for you.
Why can't Spotify-only shows be transcribed?
Spotify protects its own audio. A Spotify link works when the same show is also published with a public RSS feed, which is true for most shows.
Do you keep the audio?
No. The audio is downloaded only to transcribe it and is deleted right after. The transcript is saved in your account so you can open it again.
