Simplecast Transcription
Drop a Simplecast Episode URL ➞ Get a Full Transcript
Transcribe any Simplecast-hosted podcast episode into a full transcript with speaker labels — then turn it into show notes, summaries, clips, and blog posts automatically. Built for podcasters who host on Simplecast and the teams that write about their shows.
From Simplecast Episode to Transcript and Show Notes
Simplecast is one of the most popular places to host a podcast — reliable distribution, clean analytics, and a polished episode page. What it doesn't give you is an accurate, exportable transcript or the show notes, clips, and blog content you need to actually grow the show. That work still lands on you after every episode.
Castmagic closes the gap. Paste any public Simplecast episode URL and get a full transcript with timestamps and speaker labels in minutes. Then our AI turns the episode into publish-ready show notes, an episode summary, chapter markers, pull-quotes, social clips, and a blog draft — so the post-production that used to take hours takes one paste.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transcribe a Simplecast podcast episode?
Copy the public Simplecast episode URL (the episode page or share link) and paste it into Castmagic. We resolve the audio and return a full transcript with timestamps and speaker labels in minutes, plus AI-generated show notes.
Do I have to be the show owner to transcribe an episode?
No. Any publicly-available Simplecast episode can be transcribed — your own show or someone else's. You just need the public episode link. Private or unlisted episodes can't be accessed.
Is Simplecast transcription accurate?
Yes — Castmagic uses state-of-the-art speech-to-text that typically exceeds 95% accuracy on clear podcast audio, with punctuation, paragraph breaks, and speaker attribution for multi-host and interview episodes.
Will my Simplecast transcript include speaker labels?
Yes. Castmagic uses speaker diarisation to label each voice in the episode — host, co-hosts, and guests. Labels are inferred from voice signatures and you can rename them in the editor after transcription.
Can I get show notes I can paste straight into Simplecast?
Yes. Castmagic generates publish-ready show notes — summary, timestamped topics, guest bio, resources, and pull-quotes — in plain text or markdown that drops directly into your Simplecast episode description.
How long does it take to transcribe an episode?
A typical 30-60 minute episode processes in a few minutes; multi-hour episodes take longer but still complete quickly. You'll get an in-app notification when the transcript and content are ready.
Can I turn the episode into a blog post or clips?
Yes. After transcription, Castmagic's AI presets generate blog posts, newsletter drafts, social threads, pull-quote graphics, and audio clips — all grounded in the transcript and ready to publish.
Is Simplecast transcription free?
Castmagic offers a free tier so you can transcribe an episode and try the full workflow. Ongoing use — multiple episodes, longer runtimes, and AI content generation — is available on paid plans.
