Turn an episode into a week of posts
Castmagic takes a recorded episode and returns show notes, timestamps, clips, a newsletter and social posts from the same upload, which is the repurposing job most podcasters do by hand on a Monday. Custom prompts let you fix the house style once. Hours are a library total rather than monthly, so a long back catalogue eats a plan on import.

Transcription built for newsrooms
Trint transcribes and translates at newsroom scale, with live transcription from a phone, shared drives for a team and an editor that keeps text locked to audio while several people work in the same file. It is the dearest thing in this category by a distance. What that buys is unlimited volume under a fair-use cap, 50 languages in and 70 out.
Our note
This is the top of the market and priced like it. Unless several people are editing the same transcript, or the deadline is measured in minutes, Sonix or TurboScribe do the transcription for a fraction of the money.
