One timestamp
The Same 12:10 Turns Up in Five Places
A transcript is not a document that floats free of the episode. Every passage keeps the time it came from, so you can always get back to the audio it belongs to.
- 1
The passage itself
The transcript is split into short passages, each labelled with the time it starts—12:10 here.
- 2
The line highlighted during playback
Play the episode and the passage at 12:10 is highlighted as you reach it. Click the timestamp on any passage to move the audio to that point.
- 3
Where a search lands
Search the full text and every match sits inside a timed passage — a hit on this line lands you at 12:10.
- 4
The chapter that points at it
AI chapters and quotes carry the same times, so choosing the one that covers 12:10 moves playback to that part of the episode.
- 5
The time code in your export
Markdown, SRT, and VTT each carry 12:10 through to the file you download.
- Markdown
**[12:10]** - SRT
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:20,000 - VTT
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:20.000
TXT export and Copy give you the words without time codes.
- Markdown
Your transcript, its timestamps, and the AI summary stay for as long as you keep them. The source audio is separate: episodes transcribed with only signup credits have their audio deleted 7 days after the transcript is ready—the text and its timestamps are unaffected, you just cannot play along with the original any more. Audio transcribed with subscription or pay-as-you-go credits is kept until you delete it.

Which iHeart Link Works
PodText works from the page a single episode lives on. Three parts of the URL decide whether a link can be used.
iheart.com/podcast/sample-show-12345678/episode/sample-episode-98765432- 1The domain
- 2The show the episode belongs to
- 3The /episode/ part names the one episode — the trailing digits are its id
- An episode link
- Contains /episode/ and ends in digits. This is the specific link to paste.
- A show page link
- Stops at /podcast/. A show page does not say which episode you mean, so PodText asks you to open the episode and copy its link instead.
- A live radio link
- A live station stream is not a recorded podcast episode, so it cannot be transcribed.
Want several episodes from the same show? A public RSS feed lists them so you can pick and transcribe them one at a time.
