Spotify-Podcast-Extractor

Save available Spotify podcast transcripts as Markdown, TXT, HTML, JSON or CSV, with speaker labels. Processed locally.

Bring a podcast conversation into your notes. Spotify-Podcast-Extractor exports the transcript already available on a Spotify episode page. Review the original wording, check the first and last lines, and save a file through your browser. FEATURES • Five formats: Markdown, plain text, an offline HTML reading page, JSON and CSV. • Obsidian-ready Markdown: each speaker turn has a clearly labeled callout. Speaker 1 is blue; Speaker 2 is green. Missing speaker information is marked without guessing identities. • Review before downloading: sentence count, character count, first and last lines, and a full transcript preview. • Reads offscreen transcript text as well as visible text. Original wording and repeated sentences are preserved. • English and Chinese interface. Switching languages does not translate the original transcript. • Local processing. No extension account, API key, analytics or transcript upload. • Free and open source under the MIT license. HOW TO USE 1. Open a podcast episode in Spotify’s web player that has a Transcript tab. 2.
