In short
An episode on Spotify is an audio file. Send it here and the words come back with the second of every line, the voices named on request and six export formats. One episode is up to 30 minutes, and free is $0 with 3 files a day.
How to get the text of a Spotify episode
- 1
Find the file of the episode
The episode page of the show leads to the feed of the show, and the feed points at the audio file of every episode. Take that file, keep the original extension, and do not re-encode it before the upload.
- 2
Upload the episode audio
Drop the file on the widget above: one episode is up to 30 minutes. Set the language of the show, or leave the detection on, and split the speakers when the host and the guest are on separate microphones.
- 3
Pull the quotes for the show notes
Every line knows the second it starts, so the sentence worth quoting is found by search instead of by listening again. Export TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV or DOCX.

The case
The platform plays it, the feed keeps it
A show on Spotify is played there and published through a feed. The platform is where the episode is played, and the feed of the show is where the audio file lives. That distinction matters when you need the words, because the file of the episode is the one thing that carries them, and the show notes of the page carry only what the host wrote by hand.
Tips
Take the file of the feed, not the name of the episode.
Write the episode number into the file name.
Split the speakers when the guest has own mic.
Export CSV when the quotes go into a sheet.
Questions this page answers
Where does the audio of a Spotify episode come from?
From the feed of the show. The episode page shows the show and the date, and the feed points at the audio file of every episode with its address, its size and its type.
Can the transcript be a transcript of a show?
Yes. One line per segment, with the time and the speaker, and the CSV export gives the same lines for a spreadsheet. The host and the guest are told apart when the split by speaker is on.
Is the episode file the same for every listener?
Yes, it is the same audio the show publishes. What changes from listener to listener is the player, not the file, so the transcript does not depend on the platform that played it.
What if the episode is longer than 30 minutes?
Cut it into parts before the upload. One file is up to 30 minutes, and the service does not split an episode for you; every part keeps its own timecodes.
