A 90-minute podcast or a recorded meeting is a wall of audio. The useful part — the three decisions, the one quote, the action items — is buried in it. Re-listening at 1.5x is not a workflow. Here's the free flow I use instead.
1. Get the transcript
Paste the link (or upload the file) and let it transcribe the whole thing — no 15-minute cap. Works for a podcast episode, a recorded meeting, or any video turned into text.
2. Skim by timestamp, not by ear
Every segment keeps its timestamp, so you jump straight to "minute 34" instead of scrubbing. Reading is roughly 5x faster than listening.
3. Pull the notes out
Copy the passages that matter into show notes, meeting minutes, or a study summary. Because it's text, you can Ctrl+F for a name or a number.
4. Keep the source format if you need it
Export .srt if you're subtitling, .docx if you're handing it to someone, or just grab the plain text. Got an MP3 you need as text? Same flow.
No signup, no cap, no paid tier — longscribe.com. The whole point was to make "I'll just read it later" actually possible.
