Podcast transcription without the per-minute meter
A transcript is one of the most useful things a podcast can have: show notes, quotable pull-outs, chapter markers, a searchable archive, and the raw material for every clip and post that comes off an episode. The catch with most transcription tools is the meter, a per-minute charge that adds up fast when your back catalogue is hundreds of hours long.
talat transcribes on your own machine, so there is no meter running. The AI ships in the app and does the work locally, whether that is this week’s episode or the entire archive.
Local means no cap and no queue.
Because the transcription runs on your computer rather than a cloud service, there is no per-minute pricing, no monthly allowance to run down, and nothing to upload and wait on. You can work through a long back catalogue without watching a bill climb, and a new episode is transcribed comfortably faster than its runtime.
It is also just simpler: your audio does not go anywhere, so there is no account to manage and no question of what a vendor does with your unreleased episodes.
Speaker-separated transcripts and chapters.
talat tells your co-hosts and guests apart and attributes each line, which is what makes a transcript readable rather than a block of text, and it splits the episode into chapters you can lift straight into your show notes. Import a recorded episode or capture a remote interview live; either way the transcript lands in a searchable local library.
The file-import guide covers dropping in an existing recording, and it works with the common audio and video formats.
