AI transcription for podcasters

1. Before you record

   Guest names, spelled right

   Add your guest’s name, their company and any jargon to Vocabulary once, and NoteOwl spells them your way in every transcript after.

2. Remote guests

   A record of the call, no bot

   NoteOwl records your microphone and your Mac’s audio in Zoom, Meet, FaceTime or any call app, for a transcript and notes. It keeps speech-quality audio, so record the episode itself with your usual setup.

3. After the edit

   Import the episode

   Drag the finished file into NoteOwl — mp3, wav, m4a, mp4 and more — for a transcript with each speaker labelled and a time on every line.

4. Publishing

   Show notes and subtitles

   Summarize as → Podcast Show Notes writes the overview, topics, quotes and resources; Save Subtitles saves an SRT file for the video version.

1. Step 1

   Open Transcripts

   In NoteOwl’s sidebar, click Transcripts, under Library.

2. Step 2

   Import the episode

   Click Import Recording and choose the file, or drag it onto the screen: mp3, wav, m4a, aiff, flac, aac or mp4, one at a time.

3. Step 3

   Let NoteOwl transcribe it

   NoteOwl transcribes it on your Mac, writes a summary and a title, and labels each speaker right after the transcript appears.

4. Step 4

   Name the voices

   Click Rename speakers and type the host’s and guest’s names; every line updates. Right-click a line and choose Assign to if one is wrong.

Tap any line to hear it again, or play the whole episode at 0.75× to 2×. NoteOwl keeps an audio copy for playback, not your original file — for a video, the sound, not the picture — so keep the master for publishing.

• Rename speakers

  Fix who said what

  Rename a speaker once and the whole transcript updates. Merge a voice that was split in two, right-click a line to assign it, or pick 2 to 8 speakers and NoteOwl separates them again.
