Free podcast summarizer

This tool reads an audio file you upload. It has no field for a Spotify, Apple Podcasts or RSS link, so pasting an episode address does nothing.

If you made the show, export the episode from your editor or host. If someone else did, use only audio you have the right to use, such as your own recordings, interviews you ran, or episodes the creator lets you download.

For a podcast on YouTube, paste the video link into the YouTube summary generator instead.

The limit counts file size, so the length depends on the bitrate of the file. These are rough figures for one file.

A long WAV or FLAC file hits the limit fast. Convert it to a smaller MP3 with the audio converters first. A lower-bitrate MP3 can help a spoken recording fit under the 50 MB limit.

The Summary tab shows a short summary and, when available, a list of key points. The Transcript tab has the spoken words as plain text, for finding a quote or checking a name.

If all you need is the words, use Speech to text. For a short phone recording, Voice memo to text fits better.

A summary reads smoothly even when a detail is wrong. Check each guest name and its spelling, every number, every link and any claim that someone could dispute. Replay the passage if the transcript and the summary disagree.

Pick the summarizer that matches what you have.

Upload recordings you made or have permission to use. Do not upload a private interview unless the people in it agreed. The privacy policy explains how uploads are handled.
