24 alternatives to SpotScribe

Hey HN, I'm Jack, and I built SpotScribe because I was constantly frustrated trying to reference specific quotes from podcasts I'd listened to. I'd remember hearing something insightful but couldn't find it without scrubbing through entire episodes. Spotify doesn't provide transcripts for most podcasts, so I built this tool to extract them automatically. Beyond transcription, I added AI summarization to quickly understand key points, and a chat feature so you can ask questions about the episode content and get instant answers. It's been useful for my own research and note-taking, and I'm…

    Hi HN, wanted to share a project that I’ve been working on recently. PodText allows users to find anything said on a podcast. You can also listen and share clips to a specific part of the podcast audio, simply by highlighting the text of that part. Currently there are just over 25k podcast episodes and I’m adding a lot more in the coming weeks (yes my GPU bill is painful). In order to monetize it, I’m building a sponsorship database to help sponsors find podcasts and vice versa. This will be sold in the form of a $99/month “PodText Business” subscription. I bet I could charge a lot more…

    Hi HN, A couple months ago, a friend mentioned that there are too many great podcasts to keep up with. We searched for a solution but didn't find one and realized that many other listeners likely face the same problem. So, I built PodSnap.AI, a service that keeps track of new podcast episodes and automatically sends AI-generated text and audio summaries to your inbox as soon as they are published. This way, users can quickly get the key insights and decide whether to watch the full episode. The service supports podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. It's still beta, so I'd highly…
