Transcribe any podcast episode in minutes. Capto identifies each speaker, generates timestamped chapter markers, and produces show notes — all from a single upload.

Podcast transcription unlocks content you’ve already produced. A 60-minute episode becomes a full transcript for your blog, a set of show notes for Spotify, chapter markers for YouTube, and a handful of social clips for TikTok and Reels. Capto handles all of it: Whisper transcribes with 95%+ accuracy, speaker diarization labels each participant, and AI Summary produces structured show notes automatically. Pay 1.5 credits per minute — a 60-minute episode costs 90 credits ($2.70 on the Creator pack).
Any podcaster who wants to repurpose episodes, reach new audiences, or improve accessibility.
Multi-speaker podcasts are where generic transcription tools break down. Without diarization, you get a wall of text with no indication of who said what. Capto’s speaker diarization identifies and labels each participant throughout the episode — Host, Guest, Speaker A/B — producing a transcript that’s actually readable and usable for show notes.
For podcasts published on YouTube, Spotify Video, or your own site, subtitles dramatically improve accessibility and watch time. Capto transcribes your video podcast, generates SRT/VTT files for platform upload, and can burn captions directly into your MP4 for social clips. One upload produces every format you need.
Translate your show notes and episode transcript into Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and 60+ other languages. Publish localized show notes, subtitle files for international distribution, and translated captions for social clips — reaching audiences who would otherwise never find your content.
Long-form podcast episodes (60–180 min) require the Creator, Pro, or Growth plan. Speaker diarization is available on all plans.
| Plan | Max file size | Max video length | Concurrent exports |

| Creator | 500 MB | 60 min | 2 |
| Pro | 500 MB | 120 min | 3 |
| Growth | 2 GB | 4 hr | 5 |
Capto uses OpenAI Whisper, which achieves 95%+ accuracy on clear audio. Accuracy is slightly lower in noisy environments, with heavy background music, or when speakers talk over each other. Enabling speaker diarization separates speaker tracks before transcription, which helps with crosstalk.
Yes — enable speaker diarization on the upload screen. Capto routes the audio through a speaker-separation model and labels each participant throughout the transcript. You can rename speakers (Host, Guest 1, etc.) in the workspace after transcription.
Usually 2–4 minutes with diarization enabled, or under 2 minutes without. Processing time doesn't affect credit cost — you're charged 1.5 credits per minute of episode duration with diarization, or 1 credit per minute without.
Yes — the AI Summary feature generates timestamped chapter markers based on your transcript topics. The output includes a structured summary, bullet-point key takeaways, and a chapter list with timestamps — copy-paste into Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.
1.5 credits per minute with speaker diarization. A 60-minute episode = 90 credits. Using the Creator pack ($9 for 300 credits), that's $2.70 per episode. With the Pro pack ($17 for 600 credits), it drops to $2.55 per episode. The AI Summary costs an additional 0.5 credits per minute (30 more credits for a 60-min episode).
Yes — Whisper detects 100+ spoken languages automatically. A Spanish-language podcast transcribes correctly without any manual language selection. You can also translate the English transcript into Spanish, French, or 60+ other languages for international show notes.
