How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the SoundCloud link

    Open the track on SoundCloud and copy its URL from the address bar or the Share menu. Public tracks work without any download.

  2. 2

    Paste it into LiteScribe

    Paste the link into the upload screen. LiteScribe extracts the audio and transcribes it automatically, separating speakers where there is more than one voice.

  3. 3

    Get speaker-labeled text

    You receive a transcript with speaker diarization, timestamps, an AI summary, and topic tags, so host and guests are clearly distinguished.

  4. 4

    Turn it into show notes

    Export to TXT, DOCX, or PDF, or ask AI to draft show notes, chapters, or a blog post directly from the transcript, ready to publish alongside the audio.

When the recording should stay on your machine

Some recordings are not worth uploading anywhere, whatever the tool promises. For a saved file, the LiteScribe desktop app offers fully offline transcription, running the speech model and the AI summary locally so the recording never leaves your computer. The web and mobile apps transcribe in the cloud, so this is a desktop-only path. See what Local Mode runs on your machine for what runs where.
