How podcast subtitle generator works
Upload the episode or paste a link
Drop in the episode audio or paste an RSS or episode link – any length, any language.
Get timed captions
AI transcribes the episode into timestamped, speaker-labeled cues, ready in minutes.
Export SRT or VTT
Download a .srt or .vtt subtitle file to pair with your video clip, audiogram, or YouTube upload.
Podcasts live as audio, but they travel as video – an audiogram on Instagram, a full episode on YouTube, a teaser clip on TikTok – and every one of those needs captions to land with the sound off. Pepys generates them: upload the episode or paste a link, and you get a timed subtitle file synced to the audio, with speakers labeled so a two-host show reads cleanly.
These are real sidecar files – a downloadable .srt or .vtt you attach to your video, not subtitles burned into a frame – so you keep full control in your editor and can restyle them later. It works in 99+ languages, handles long episodes by chunking and stitching, ships with an AI summary for show notes, and never trains on your audio. Pay only for what you transcribe; credits never expire.

Podcast subtitle generator – questions, answered
How do I generate subtitles for a podcast?
Upload the episode audio or paste an RSS or episode link on this page. Pepys transcribes it and exports a timed .srt or .vtt subtitle file in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Does it burn the subtitles into a video?
No – Pepys produces a downloadable .srt or .vtt sidecar file. You add it to your video in your editor or player, which keeps the styling and timing fully in your control.
Can I start from just a podcast link?
Yes – paste an RSS feed or episode link and Pepys pulls the audio to transcribe. You can also upload the episode file directly if you have it.
Will it label each host or guest?
Yes – cues come speaker-labeled per chunk (Speaker 1, 2…), so a multi-host episode stays readable. You can rename speakers before exporting.
Can I caption an episode in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript before exporting your subtitle file.
