Overview

Scribbler pulls the substance out of long audio and video. A library of popular podcasts is already processed, anything else can be requested on demand, and each result comes with a summary, a full transcript with timestamps, search, and a chat interface over the content.

Timestamps are what make it usable rather than merely convenient. A summary tells you an episode discussed something; a timestamp takes you to the ninety seconds where it was actually discussed, which is the difference between replacing the listen and navigating it. Email digests keep subscribed shows arriving.

The free tier costs nothing with credits at $0.40 an hour, and Premium is $10 a month with chat, subscriptions and cheaper rates at $0.30 and $0.20. Hourly credits mean a heavy listening habit still costs real money, summaries flatten the conversational texture that is often the point of a podcast, and transcription accuracy drops on crosstalk and strong accents.
