Tool Information
Transistor combines podcast hosting with an optional AI transcription service. Creators can turn episode audio into text inside the hosting dashboard, then edit the result and assign speaker names. The service detects speakers automatically and can update repeated speaker labels throughout a transcript. It supports 49 spoken languages, using the podcast's language setting to select its transcription model.
Transcript downloads are available in plain text, SRT, VTT, JSON, and HTML formats. Published transcripts can link passages to timestamps in the audio, helping listeners locate a section of an episode. These features are useful for preparing readable episode text, caption files, and material for an editorial workflow. AI output still needs human review; the provider explicitly notes that generated transcripts can contain errors.
Transcription is listed as a paid add-on to hosting rather than an inclusion in the entry hosting price. The monthly add-ons cover five or twenty hours of transcription. Users should budget for both the hosting subscription and their chosen transcription allowance.
