Translate a Podcast Transcript
This podcast translator transcribes the episode, then translates the transcript and captions into another language, so you get readable text and subtitles instead of the original recording read out loud.
Upload an episode or paste a link, and the tool handles the transcription and the translation in one pass. You can search the translated transcript, export it, or download translated subtitles to drop onto the episode video.
What you get:
- A transcript with speaker labels, transcribed in 100+ languages
- The transcript and captions translated into your target language (transcript and caption translation)
- Exports as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat
How to Translate a Podcast
- Upload the episode: Upload an MP3, WAV, M4A, or AAC file, or paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or direct media link. There is no separate Spotify or Apple Podcasts import; download or export the episode audio first if it comes from one of those apps.
- Let it transcribe: The episode is transcribed with speaker labels, in any of 100+ languages.
- Translate and export: Translate the transcript and captions into your target language, then export the text or download the subtitle file.
Translation quality depends on the transcript it starts from, which depends on the audio. A clean studio recording translates better than one with heavy background noise or overlapping speakers. See how we measure accuracy.
Who Uses a Podcast Translator
Podcast creators and producers translate an episode’s transcript to publish show notes and captions in a second language, reaching listeners who read the transcript even if they do not follow the spoken audio.
Media and broadcasting teams translate interview and panel transcripts for international editions of a show, so an editor working in another language can quote the episode accurately.
Educational institutions translate lecture-style and academic podcasts so international students can read the material in their own language alongside the original audio.
Business and marketing teams translate internal podcasts and training recordings for global teams, so a transcript can be reviewed and shared in more than one language.
Language learners translate short segments of a podcast they are studying, then compare the original transcript against the translation line by line.
Can I dub the podcast audio?
Yes. ScreenApp supports translated synthetic speech with a separate voice for each speaker, saved as a new audio or video file. For spoken output, use AI dubbing and specify a target language. Transcript translation remains a separate text workflow.
