Paste a Spotify episode link, drop in a podcast RSS audio URL, or upload an MP3, and AskSia returns a clean, timestamped transcript with host and guest speaker labels in minutes. Translation in 40+ languages, study notes, and citation-ready quotes are included on every transcript. Free to start.
To transcribe a Spotify podcast episode to text, you can paste the Spotify share link directly into AskSia, paste the episode's direct audio URL from the show's public RSS feed, or upload an MP3 if you have rights to the file. AskSia processes the audio with AI speech recognition and returns a timestamped transcript with up to 10 speakers labeled automatically, usually within minutes. The transcript can be translated into more than 40 languages and exported as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles. The free plan covers episodes up to 30 minutes long, useful for daily news and short-form podcasts.
Most podcast tools either need a download link or only work with one platform. AskSia handles Spotify share links, public RSS feeds, and MP3 uploads, so almost any podcast you listen to is fair game.
Public Spotify episodes can be transcribed directly from the share link. Most podcasts also publish on public RSS feeds, and AskSia accepts those audio URLs as well, useful for the highest-fidelity feed copy of an episode.
Podcast speech is usually well-recorded close-mic conversation between two or more hosts and guests. AskSia handles natural overlap, names, jargon, and book and product references, with 95% or higher accuracy on clear audio.
Many people listen to educational podcasts on history, science, language learning, finance, and law. AskSia turns them into searchable transcripts and pairs them with an AI assistant for chapter summaries, flashcards, and quizzes.
The podcast world is global. AskSia detects the source language automatically and can translate the transcript into English or any of more than 40 other languages, side by side with the original. Useful for language learners and international communities.
In Spotify, tap the three-dot menu on the episode and choose Share and Copy Link. For best results you can also copy the direct audio URL from the show's public RSS feed, or upload an MP3 if you have rights to it.
Paste the Spotify link, the RSS audio URL, or drag the MP3 into AskSia. AskSia detects the source language automatically and identifies up to 10 different speakers in the episode.
The transcript appears with timestamps and speaker labels. Ask Sia for an episode summary, study notes, hooks, or a longer-form post based on the conversation. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, or send to Google Docs.
Paste links from your laptop, upload MP3s from your phone, or use AskSia on both. The library syncs everywhere.
On the web, AskSia opens as a split panel. The transcript builds on the left while the AI chat sits on the right, useful for asking for summaries, study notes, or blog drafts based on the episode. Drop in MP3 masters of your own podcast for highest fidelity.
Open the AskSia app and pick a transcript that synced from your Web App library, or paste a Spotify link directly to start a new transcription. Useful for catching up on episodes during a commute or read-along language practice.
History, science, language, finance, and law podcasts are some of the most listened-to study material in the world. Transcribe an episode and ask Sia for chapter summaries, key quotes, and flashcards instead of relistening to find one detail.
Podcasts in your target language are gold for natural listening. Transcribe an episode in Spanish, French, Mandarin, Japanese, or any of 40+ supported languages and read the translation alongside the original to study real-world phrasing.
Researchers and journalists who study podcast culture, public discourse, or specific guests transcribe episodes for analysis, fact-checking, and citation. Speaker labels separate host and guests cleanly for quoting.
Podcast hosts and producers transcribe their own episodes for show notes, blog posts, social clips, and SRT subtitles for video-podcast versions on YouTube and other platforms.
Listeners who prefer reading or who are deaf or hard of hearing can use AskSia transcripts to access podcast content. Translation into more than 40 languages also makes podcasts more accessible to international audiences.
Book clubs, learning circles, and listening groups transcribe episodes to discuss specific quotes, build reading guides, and share key arguments with members who could not finish the audio.
Most transcription tools are built for meetings. AskSia is built for how students actually learn: bilingual, fast-moving, context-heavy.
