The Problem

Every podcast episode is a goldmine of content — but only if people can find it. Search engines cannot index audio, so your episodes are invisible to Google. Creating transcripts manually takes 4-6 hours per hour of audio. Cloud transcription services charge per minute and upload your unreleased content to their servers. You end up publishing episodes without transcripts, losing discoverability and alienating listeners who prefer reading.

The Solution

Glasscribe transcribes your podcast in real time as you record, or after the fact using system audio playback. Every word becomes searchable text that you can publish alongside your episode for SEO. The transcript is generated entirely on your Mac — your unreleased content never touches a cloud server. Export as .txt for show notes or .srt for YouTube uploads with accurate subtitles.

Key Features

1

System Audio Capture

Play back your recorded episode and Glasscribe transcribes the system audio directly — no virtual audio drivers, no complex routing. Works with any DAW or media player on your Mac.

2

Real-Time Transcription

Transcribe live during recording sessions. See words appear as guests speak, making it easy to note timestamps and highlights for your show notes while the conversation flows.

3

.srt Subtitle Export

Export timestamped .srt files for YouTube, Spotify video, or any platform that supports subtitles. Make your video podcast episodes accessible and boost engagement with accurate captions.
