Transcribe audio in ChatGPT

ChatGPT can work with some audio on its own, depending on your plan and the file. For a full transcript of a video, podcast or meeting with who said what and when, add the transcribe.so plugin and paste a link.

How to transcribe audio in ChatGPT

  1. Add the plugin

    Open transcribe.so in ChatGPT's plugin directory, click Install plugin, and sign in with your transcribe.so account, or create one. No key to paste.

  2. Paste a link

    Drop a YouTube video, an Apple Podcasts episode or a link to an audio or video file into the chat and ask for a transcript.

  3. Ask

    Ask for who said what, chapters, a quote with its timestamp, or subtitles. Ask for the timestamp and, on YouTube, it links to that moment in the video.

Questions

Can ChatGPT transcribe audio on its own?

ChatGPT can work with some audio files you attach, depending on your plan and the file. For a full transcript with a speaker label and a timestamp on every line, chapters, and answers that cite the exact second, add the transcribe.so plugin.

How do I add transcribe.so to ChatGPT?

Open the transcribe.so plugin in ChatGPT's plugin directory, click Install plugin, and sign in with your transcribe.so account. On ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu, a workspace admin may need to allow it, or can add https://transcribe.so/mcp as a custom MCP server.

Can I upload a file from my computer?

ChatGPT sends links to transcribe.so, not files. Upload the file in the transcribe.so web app, then ask ChatGPT about it, since both use the same library.

Which links work?

YouTube, Apple Podcasts episodes, Vimeo, Loom, SoundCloud, Google Drive or Dropbox share links, and direct audio or video file links. Spotify links don't work yet. The link has to open without a sign-in.

How much does it cost?

New accounts get free credit. After that you pay per recording or pick a plan. See pricing.

Where do my transcripts go?

Into your transcribe.so library, the same one the web app shows. Read, search or share them there, and ask ChatGPT about them later.
