Podcast episode summary free, straight from the recording

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: August 2026

Drop in your episode and get an accurate transcript back, ready to turn into show notes: the topics covered, the highlights, the quotable moments. No account, no watermark, no per-minute fee.

A show-notes summary, not a wall of transcript

A podcast episode isn't a meeting: there's no decision to log or action item to assign, just a conversation people want the gist of before they commit an hour. ScribeGrab gives you the full transcript for free, so pulling out the topics and highlights is fast editing instead of re-listening with a notepad.

How to turn an episode into show notes
  1. Export the episode as MP3, WAV or M4A (or the video file if you record video).
  2. Open ScribeGrab and drop the file in.
  3. Wait a few minutes while it transcribes on our GPU.
  4. Read the transcript and pull out the topics, highlights and best quotes for your notes.
Episode also on YouTube? Get an automatic summary instead

If you publish the episode as a video on YouTube too, paste that link into our YouTube summarizer for an automatic summary: a short paragraph of what the episode is about plus the handful of points that actually matter, no manual pulling required. Audio-only episode? Upload it here and write the show notes yourself from the transcript.

Turning a written summary into a slide deck to present to the team? If you already have it as a PDF, ScanReviver's PDF to PowerPoint turns each page into a slide that looks the same.

Once the deck itself is finished, ScanReviver's PowerPoint to PDF locks every slide in place so it opens the same on whatever machine the team uses.

Common questions

Does it write my show notes for me?

It gives you the full, accurate transcript for free, so turning that into topics and highlights is quick editing rather than typing from scratch. If your episode is also on YouTube, paste the link into our YouTube summarizer for an automatic summary instead.

Is it free for full episodes?

Yes. No daily cap and no per-minute charge, up to 60 minutes and 1.5 GB per file. Ads keep the GPU running.

Is this a podcast show notes generator?

Sort of, by hand: it doesn't invent your show notes, but it gives you the exact words of the episode for free, so writing topics-and-highlights show notes from the transcript takes minutes instead of a re-listen.

Can I get exact quotes for clips or social posts?

Yes. Every word comes with a timestamp, so you can pull an exact quote or cut a clip without re-listening to the episode.

Do you keep my audio?

No. Your file is deleted right after processing and results are wiped within 45 minutes. See privacy.
