Use the final episode edit
Choose the actual episode file you plan to publish, not an earlier edit with different cuts or inserted adverts. Transcribana reads a local audio or video file; it does not fetch RSS feeds, hosting links or YouTube URLs. An MP3 episode can be opened directly when its audio is supported. Keep a lossless source if you already have it, but converting an existing compressed MP3 to WAV will not recover lost detail. See MP3 transcription guidance.
Handle intros, guests and overlapping voices
Select the spoken language explicitly if an episode starts with a long music bed, a trailer or a brief foreign-language greeting. Automatic detection uses the opening audio. Review guest names, product names and quotations carefully, especially during cross-talk. No speaker identification or automatic chapter creation is provided. You can label speakers manually in the readable working text after listening; the model should not be treated as an authority on who said a line.
Choose between reading and synchronized output
Use TXT for a readable episode transcript. If you publish a video version, SRT or VTT can provide an initial caption track. These timed exports keep original segments; correcting a guest’s surname in the document will not silently update the caption file. The SRT and VTT comparison explains destination formats. If you later cut an advert or shorten the introduction, old cue times may no longer match: review against the exact final media.
Review before publishing elsewhere
Copy the reviewed text into your publishing workflow yourself. This app does not host transcripts, generate show notes, summarize episodes or distribute a podcast. Check permission to publish guest statements and keep factual corrections distinct from changes to a quotation. Model downloads and device limits affect the first run, especially for long episodes; use a current desktop browser and save the result before closing the tab. A transcript can support access to the spoken content, but it is not a finished accessibility audit.
