For years, podcasters had to finish recording, upload their file, wait 20–60 minutes for a transcript to come back, and then start editing. That workflow is dead. Real-time transcription means your words are on screen the moment you say them.
When you can see your transcript live, you catch mistakes in the moment. Mispronounced a guest's name? You know immediately. Went off on a tangent? You can see it building in real time and course-correct before it becomes a problem.
With a live transcript, your show notes, social clips, and newsletter excerpts are already forming while you record. By the time you hit stop, 80% of your post-production is done. PLAI handles the rest automatically.
PLAI uses Deepgram's streaming API — one of the fastest and most accurate transcription engines available. It handles accents, crosstalk, brand names, and podcast-specific vocabulary better than any general-purpose transcription tool.
