Frequently Asked Questions
Paste any public Apple Podcasts URL into STT.ai and we'll fetch the audio/video, run it through your chosen AI model, and return the transcript. No download step required.
No — STT.ai accesses publicly-available Apple Podcasts content directly. Private or paywalled Apple Podcasts content requires you to download it manually with the original account, then upload the file.
Yes. STT.ai includes 600 free minutes/month — usable for Apple Podcasts URLs the same as uploaded files. Paid plans starting at $5/month extend per-file limits.
Free users can transcribe Apple Podcasts content up to 1 hour per item; paid plans extend that to 8+ hours per item, which covers full podcast episodes, lectures, and live streams.
For pre-recorded Apple Podcasts content, paste the URL and we handle the rest. For live Apple Podcasts streams, use STT.ai's live-transcription tool — point it at the stream URL and get captions in real time.
DRM-protected Apple Podcasts content cannot be transcribed — we don't bypass DRM. For DRM content, capture the audio output through your OS (system audio recorder, OBS) and upload the resulting file directly.

Yes. Every Apple Podcasts transcript exports as SRT or VTT — compatible with Apple Podcasts's own player (if it supports custom subtitles) and every major video platform.
Apple Podcasts URL transcription accuracy depends on the audio quality of the source — clear studio audio reaches 93-95% with our best models. Low-bitrate streams or noisy field recordings can be lower.
Apple Podcasts transcripts are private to your account by default. Pro plans add client-side encryption — even STT.ai can't read them without your key. Source audio is deleted after transcription.
Yes. Submit multiple Apple Podcasts URLs through the REST API or the in-app batch upload — each gets queued and you're notified by email when each finishes. Useful for podcast back-catalogs, course archives, and Apple Podcasts channel migrations.
