Use Case

Vodcast Transcript & Show Notes Generator

Turn your YouTube vodcast episodes into searchable transcripts, timestamped show notes, and clippable quotes in minutes.

You record a vodcast, upload it to YouTube, and then the real work starts: writing show notes, pulling quotes for Twitter, finding the exact timestamp where your guest said the one line everyone's going to clip. Doing that by scrubbing through a 90-minute video is how a Tuesday disappears. Upload the video or its audio to Autrans and you get a full transcript with speaker labels so host and guest are never mixed up, word-level timestamps so you can jump straight to a moment, and an AI summary with key topics and quotes already pulled out. If your episode has Pidgin mixed into the English, which most Nigerian vodcasts do, it's captured as spoken, not flattened into 'proper' English. You spend your time editing the next episode, not transcribing the last one.

Benefits

  • Speaker labels keep host and guest quotes straight even in fast, overlapping conversation
  • Word-level timestamps let you jump to any moment instead of scrubbing the video back and forth
  • AI-pulled key quotes and topics give you ready-made captions for social clips
  • Handles Nigerian English and Pidgin mixed together the way vodcasters actually talk
  • Export to DOCX or TXT for show notes, or SRT/VTT to caption the YouTube upload
  • Chat with the transcript to find 'did we ever talk about X' across old episodes

  4. 4Ask the built-in chat things like 'what did our guest say about funding' to find moments fast
  5. 5Export the transcript as show notes in DOCX or TXT, or as SRT/VTT captions for YouTube

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans transcribe a video file directly, or do I need to extract audio first?

You can upload the video file as-is; Autrans pulls the audio and transcribes it. No need to extract the audio track yourself first.

Will it separate my voice from my guest's in the transcript?

Yes, speaker labels (diarization) tag each speaker separately so you can tell host and guest apart, even across a long back-and-forth conversation.

Can I get captions for my YouTube upload from the same transcript?

Yes, export the same transcript as SRT or VTT and upload it straight to YouTube as captions, no separate captioning tool needed.

Does it handle vodcasts recorded partly in Pidgin?

Yes, Autrans supports Nigerian Pidgin alongside Nigerian English, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo, so a conversation that mixes English and Pidgin is transcribed as actually spoken.
