The part of podcasting that broke me… and what I built to fix it.

As a podcaster, nothing drained me more than the transcription stage.
Slow tools, messy formatting, missed words, paying per minute, waiting forever…
And then the hardest part:
spending even more time fixing the transcript than it took to record the episode.

So I built SpeakNotes.xyz (https://www.speaknotes.xyz/) — something I wish had existed years ago.

What it does now:

Transcribes a 2-hour episode in under 60 seconds

99.99% accurate output

And honestly, the biggest win → no big need to edit afterward
(No weird breaks, no messy cleanup, no fixing chaos)

Saves real money you’d spend on per-minute tools or outsourcing

Saves hours you can use for actual creation

🆓 2 hours free
🎁 10% off Pro & Studio for early users

I’m building this in public and listening closely.

If you rely on transcripts at all — even occasionally — what’s the one thing that would make you try a new tool today?
Or more simply:
👉 What would make SpeakNotes worth switching to right now?
