Why use SoundCloud Transcript Generator?
Paste the Track Link
Copy a public SoundCloud track URL and paste it. We fetch the audio and transcribe it: no download, no browser extension.
Timestamps on Every Line
Each line carries its time in the track, so you can jump back to a quote or build show notes with time codes.
AI Summary
Your first file on a free account, the Weekly Pass and paid plans add an AI summary of the key points next to the transcript.

Search every word and copy the text for free. A free account downloads TXT; SRT, VTT, DOCX, PDF and JSON come with your first file or a paid plan.

SoundCloud transcripts: what to expect
SoundCloud transcript generator: paste a link
A public SoundCloud track link is all you need.
Many podcasts, radio shows, sermons and university talks are published on SoundCloud rather than in a podcast app. Paste the track URL above and we transcribe the audio, with timestamps on every line.
My take: for a talk or interview on SoundCloud, a link is faster than downloading the file, because SoundCloud only offers a download button when the uploader turns it on.
To remember: paste one track, not a playlist or a profile page.
When a SoundCloud link cannot be transcribed
Private tracks and tracks removed by the uploader cannot be fetched. Tracks that SoundCloud plays in full only to paying subscribers may come back as a short preview. If you own the recording, upload the file instead.
