Transcribe a podcast by sharing it
Share an episode from Spotify or Apple Podcasts to TLDRR and it transcribes the audio automatically. The transcript becomes takeaways you can read, questions you can ask, and text you can search months later.

Why transcribe an episode at all
Audio is the hardest format to revisit. A number, a name, or an argument you half remember is buried somewhere in an hour of speech. Transcribing turns that episode into something you can scan, quote, question, and search — the same way you would with an article.
Transcribe a podcast in three steps
1 · Share the episode
From Spotify or Apple Podcasts, tap Share and pick TLDRR.
2 · Automatic transcription
The audio is transcribed for you — no show notes or captions required.
3 · Read, ask, search
Get the takeaways, ask follow-up questions, and search the episode later in plain language.
What transcription gives you
Transcribed from the audio
No show notes needed — TLDRR works straight from what was said.
Any episode length
A five-minute briefing and a three-hour interview are handled the same way.
Spoken words become searchable
Once an episode is transcribed, you can find it by the idea you remember.
Ask the transcript questions
Put a question to the episode instead of scrubbing back through it.
Good for
- Interview shows with dense detail
- Episodes without show notes
- Research and lecture-style podcasts
- News briefings you want in text
- Episodes you want to quote accurately
- Long backlogs you will never fully listen to

Transcripts that stay searchable
Every transcribed episode stays in your library next to its summary and your questions, so an episode you heard months ago is as findable as anything you read.
Want the short version instead of the full text? See the podcast summarizer. TLDRR also handles YouTube videos, articles, and PDFs.
