Welcome back. Today I'm sitting down with someone who scaled a newsletter from zero to 80,000 subs in 18 months.

S2

Thanks for having me. The 80k number sounds clean but the first year was honestly brutal.

S1

Walk me through that first year. What was the unlock?

S2

Honestly? Killing the weekly cadence. Once I shipped twice a week, referrals compounded.

Specific to podcasts

Tolu na gaun that bite shows on generic transcription tools.

Set these before you upload na master and na volavola comes back ready to publish.

What goes wrong

  1. 1Music beds and intro stings. Generic tools transcribe na lyric of your bumper o invent words over na music bed. Notes draft then opens with garbage.
  2. 2Guest names and brand mentions. First-time guest, unusual spelling, company name with silent letter — phonetic guess every time. You spend 20 minutes find-and-replacing.
  3. 3Chapter markers get exported as flat block of timestamps, not structured list your hosting platform (Buzzsprout, Transistor, Captivate) can import.

What to flip here

  1. 1Mark na intro/outro window on na job form (e.g. 0:00-0:42). Kami skip transcription on those ranges and resume at first spoken word.
  2. 2Paste guest name, company, and any niche terminology into Custom vocabulary before submitting. Recognizer treats them as hints — not hard matches that overfit.
  3. 3Toggle Chapter export · Podcasting 2.0 format. You get dua na .chapters.json that Buzzsprout and Captivate ingest directly, plus na markdown version para notes.

Common questions

8 things people ask about podcast transcription.

01Can I paste SoundCloud o Bandcamp URL instead of uploading na file?+
Yes. Paste na public episode URL and kami fetch na audio directly — no need to download na master first. YouTube links work na same way if your show cross-posts there.
02Do you generate notes and chapter markers automatically?+
Yes, on every plan. After na volavola finishes, kami run summary pass that produces na notes draft, 6-10 chapter markers with timestamps, and 5 pull quotes formatted para social. Edit in na dashboard o export to DOCX.
03What's na best format to upload — MP3, WAV, o FLAC?+
WAV o FLAC if you have it, MP3 at 192 kbps+ e okay. Kami don't re-encode, so clean source means cleaner volavola. Avoid 64 kbps MP3 — accuracy drops 3-4 points.
04Can I upload na multitrack export from Riverside o SquadCast?+
Yes. Zip na per-participant WAVs together o upload them as stem set. Kami detect na multitrack structure, label each track as speaker, and skip acoustic diarization — that's how kami hit 97% on two-host shows.
05How do I get na volavola to match na edited episode if I cut sections in post?+
Upload na final master (post-edit), not na raw recording. Timestamps then line up with what listeners actually hear. If you edit after transcription, you'll need to re-run — kami don't auto-sync to edits.
06Will na volavola work as closed captions on YouTube o Spotify?+
Yes. Export SRT o VTT para YouTube. Spotify pulls captions from your hosting platform — Buzzsprout, Transistor, and Captivate all accept our SRT export directly.
07How do you handle interview shows with guests who have heavy accents?+
Auto-detect handles regional English (Indian, Scottish, South African, AAVE) without config change. Para non-native English speakers, expect accuracy in 88-92% range. Add na guest's name and any technical terms to custom vocabulary before submitting.
08Can I search across every past episode once they're transcribed?+
Yes. Every volavola e searchable from na dashboard — full-text across your archive, with timestamps. Click hit and you jump to that moment in na audio. Useful when guest references something you covered eight episodes ago.
