About Spoken
Spoken is an API tool that provides transcripts for any podcast episode in clean Markdown format. This efficient solution replaces manual audio transcribing processes with a single API call, saving time and resources for developers and allowing them to focus on building their products. Spoken also uniquely distinguishes real speaker names instead of using generic labels such as 'Speaker 1', enhancing the readability and comprehension of the transcripts.One key feature of Spoken is its ability to detect speaker names by analyzing the context of the transcript, thus eliminating manual lookup tables or post-processing requirements. Additionally, it offers an easy search facility where users can query by text or paste a URL from various podcast platforms, including Spotify, YouTube, and other podcast apps.Designed to be integrated with AI agents, Spoken's transcripts can be used as input data for various applications like summarizers, RAG pipelines, podcast tools, etc. It provides a straightforward integration process, supporting any agent framework and accepting simple HTTP calls.Despite being a paid service, Spoken allows potential users a trial experience where they can evaluate the transcript's quality and format using a demo API key.
