Why transcribe your podcast?
A podcast lives in audio but grows through text:
- Show notes and episode pages. Search engines cannot listen. A transcript on your site makes every episode findable for everything discussed in it.
- Quotes for social media. Your guest's best lines are written out verbatim, speaker label included.
- Accessibility. Deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners, and everyone who prefers scanning over listening, can follow your content too.
- Your own archive. Searching 80 episodes for "that one conversation about pricing strategy" becomes a matter of seconds.
Built for conversations with multiple voices
Podcasts are conversations: host, guest, sometimes a panel. Murmel automatically labels each speaking turn; rename the labels to real names afterwards. Add guest names, your podcast title and recurring jargon to your custom vocabulary so they are spelled correctly in every episode. The model is trained on Dutch speech and holds up well against colloquialisms, accents and interruptions.

What does it cost for a podcaster?
A weekly one-hour podcast adds up to 4 to 5 hours of audio per month: that fits comfortably in the Basic plan at €9 per month (excl. VAT, 12 hours per month). If you also record raw material and interviews, Creator offers 40 hours per month for €29 (excl. VAT). Try it first for 14 days for €0.01, and for a single episode there are prepaid credits from €5.
Frequently asked questions
