How do you get the transcript of a Spotify podcast?

To get a Spotify podcast transcript you can copy, open the episode, tap Share → Copy link and paste it above. Some episodes show a read-along transcript in Spotify, but you can’t copy or keep it. The first 2 minutes of any Spotify episode are free here, with timestamps; the rest is in Kalpa.

Questions and answers

Doesn’t Spotify already show transcripts?

Spotify shows read-only transcripts on some episodes, while Kalpa gives you the episode as text you can copy or download as a .txt file.

How much of a Spotify episode is free?

Kalpa transcribes the first 2 minutes of any Spotify episode for free, with no sign-up, and the rest of the episode is in the Kalpa app.

Can I transcribe music from Spotify?

No, Kalpa works on spoken Spotify episodes, and music tracks aren’t supported.

Do subscriber-only Spotify episodes work?

Episodes exclusive to paid subscriptions may not open by link, because Kalpa can only transcribe public Spotify content.

What does a Spotify episode link look like?

A Spotify episode link starts with open.spotify.com/episode/, so copy it from the episode itself rather than the show page.
