Live for listening sessions; batch for masters
Use live when you are listening now. Upload the podcast file when you need the cleanest batch transcript from the source media.
Podcast live transcription while the episode plays
Play the episode in a browser tab, share tab audio, and capture a live transcript for notes and quotes. Prefer file upload when you already have the episode media.

Why TranscribeChirp
Built for this workflow
Live and file jobs in one history
Saved live sessions sit next to uploads and recordings. Batch plain text stays 1 credit/min; live starts at 1.5 credits/min.
Start with free credits
New accounts include 30 credits to try a short live session or an upload before you subscribe or buy a minute pack.
How it works
Three steps to usable text
Step 1
Start a live session
Open Real-time transcription or Real-time translation from the dashboard. Choose your spoken language (or Auto) before you stream.
Step 2
Stream mic or tab audio
Capture your microphone or a browser tab (Chrome/Edge). Words appear while you listen; translation mode adds a second caption line.
Step 3
Stop, save, and reuse
Stop the session to save the transcript into history with an auto title. Copy text or export later alongside your batch jobs.
