Video Captions for Podcasters
A podcast episode produces three things worth having: captions for the video version, captioned clips for social, and a full transcript for your show notes. All three come from one upload.
Multi-speaker audio is the specific challenge, and it is handled — the model detects when the speaker changes and starts a new caption line there, which is what keeps a two-hour conversation readable.

Why podcasters teams caption
The parts of captioning that matter most for this kind of video.
Multi-speaker conversations
Speaker changes are detected and start a new line, which is what stops a long interview turning into an undifferentiated wall of text.
Two-hour episodes, one pass
Full-length episodes transcribe end to end. You are not cutting an episode into segments to get it under a processing limit.
Transcripts that do SEO work
Published episode transcripts are indexable text on a page that would otherwise be an embed. It is the most direct way a podcast becomes searchable.
Clips and audiograms
Pull a two-minute moment, caption it, and post it as a burned-in vertical clip. Captions are what make an audio-first medium work in a silent feed.
How it works
Upload, review, export. No timeline and no timecodes typed by hand.

Generate captions with AI
The AI transcribes the conversation, starts a new caption line each time the speaker changes, and times everything to the audio.

Edit and export
Correct the terms specific to podcasters, then download the video with captions burned in, or export a clean .srt or .vtt file.
Three assets from one recording
Podcasting has an awkward distribution problem: the product is audio, and almost every growth channel is visual and silent. Social feeds autoplay muted, search engines index text, and neither can do anything with an audio file.
Captioning is the bridge across all of it. The same transcript that gives your video version a caption track also gives you a text transcript for the episode page — which is the only way search engines can see what an episode is about — and provides the burned-in captions that make a clip work in a feed where nobody has the sound on.
The multi-speaker handling is what makes this practical rather than theoretical. Interviews are the dominant podcast format, and a transcript that does not mark speaker changes is close to unusable as show notes. Starting a new line each time the voice changes is a small thing that decides whether the transcript is publishable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Specific to this kind of video, not the generic list.
Does it separate speakers in an interview?
It detects when the speaker changes and starts a new caption line at that point, which keeps a conversation readable. It does not attach names to voices automatically, but you can label them in the editor.
Can it handle a full two-hour episode?
Yes. Long-form episodes transcribe end to end, with processing time scaling roughly with length. You can leave it running while it works.
Can I use the transcript for show notes?
Yes, and it is one of the better reasons to do this. Export the transcript and publish it on the episode page — it makes an otherwise unindexable audio embed into something search engines can read.
Do I need video, or can I upload audio?
Audio alone works. Upload an MP3, WAV or M4A if you only need the transcript or a subtitle file. Upload video if you want burned-in captions for a clip.
Can I edit my captions before exporting?
Yes. Correct the transcript, adjust timings, choose a caption style and then export the finished video or a clean SRT or VTT file.
