Use case

Transcribe podcasts into searchable text

Episode link in, timestamped transcript out — with speaker labels, auto show notes, and clip-ready quotes.

Every episode, fully searchable

Paste a podcast link or upload the audio and Silestis returns a timestamped transcript with speaker labels, so a host-and-guest conversation reads cleanly. Search across episodes to find the exact moment a topic came up.

Show notes and chapters in one click

From the transcript, Silestis generates structured notes and chapter marks — a fast first draft for show notes, episode summaries, or social clips. Ask the AI for the key moments and get answers with clickable [mm:ss] timestamps you can turn into quotes or clips.

For listeners and creators

  • Quote exact moments with precise timestamps.
  • Translate episodes across 100+ languages.

FAQ

podcasts — FAQ

How do I transcribe a podcast?

Paste the episode link (YouTube, SoundCloud, and 1800+ sites are supported) or upload the audio file. Silestis returns a timestamped transcript you can search, quote, and export.

Can I get show notes from a podcast episode?

Yes. Silestis auto-generates structured notes and chapter marks from the transcript — a fast starting point for show notes, summaries, or social posts.

Does it label different speakers?

Yes. Speaker diarization detects each voice so a host-and-guest episode reads cleanly, and you can rename speakers to real names.

Can I quote exact moments?

Every line is timestamped, so you can cite or clip the precise [mm:ss] where something was said.

Every video you watch could be searchable.

Install the extension, hit transcribe, and never lose what was said in a lecture, meeting, or podcast again.
