Upload-Based Workflow
These pages are written for uploaded audio or video files. For video platforms, export a file you are allowed to process instead of pasting a video-page URL.
- Upload the podcast MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, or MOV file, or paste a supported media URL.
- Generate the transcript and review names, terms, and references.
- Export TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT depending on your workflow.
