Question 1

What does podcast transcript search actually search?

Accepted Answer

The full spoken text of every episode, not just titles or show notes. If a word or phrase was said out loud anywhere in an episode, it will come up, with the sentence it was said in highlighted so you can see the context before you click.

Question 2

How many podcasts are searchable?

Accepted Answer

Over 35,000 transcribed episodes covering roughly 24,000 hours of audio, in 61 languages. The library grows every day as new episodes are transcribed, and new transcripts become searchable the moment they finish.

Question 3

Why can I only see five results?

Accepted Answer

The first five matches for any search are free, with the matching passage highlighted. Beyond that, results are part of Pro, which also unlocks unlimited-length transcription, speaker labels and more — from $2.90 a month, or $1.66 a month billed yearly.

Question 4

Can I search for an exact phrase?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type the phrase as you would say it and episodes where those words appear together are ranked first. Searching for a single word casts a wider net; a two- or three-word phrase is usually the fastest way to find a specific moment.

Question 5

Does it work in languages other than English?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transcripts are indexed in their original language, and the corpus includes substantial German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Finnish and Italian content alongside English. Search in the language the episode was spoken in.

Question 6

What if the podcast I want isn't here?

Accepted Answer

Transcribe it yourself for free: paste a Spotify or Apple Podcasts link, or any RSS feed, and the episode will be transcribed and added to the searchable library within minutes.
