How to Turn a Podcast Episode Into Notes (Transcript + Summary)

Great podcast insights vanish the moment the episode ends, and you cannot search audio. Here is how to turn an episode into notes you can find and question later.

By Ilian Raykov, founder of BrainTube

The short answer

  • Share the episode link to BrainTube.
  • It is transcribed and summarised.
  • Search what was said or ask Cue about it later.

Step by step

1. Share the episode

In your podcast app or on YouTube, tap Share and choose BrainTube, or paste the episode link on brain-tube.com.

2. Get the transcript and summary

BrainTube transcribes the audio and writes a summary, so the episode becomes text.

3. Search by what was said

Find the moment later by meaning: "the guest's point about hiring" finds it without scrubbing through audio.

4. Ask and review

Ask Cue questions across episodes, videos and articles with links to each source, and review key ideas with recall.
