The short answer
Start with a short pilot: create a project, import or record a clip, correct its transcript, make one edit, test sound cleanup and export. Keep the original audio so you can compare the result and move tools if needed.
- Test with your own imperfect audio
- Check transcript cuts against sound
- Verify plan limits and raw-track export

Set up a project
Name the show and decide whether you are recording in the browser or uploading existing tracks. Check microphone permissions before an interview.
Edit the recording
Correct names in the transcript, remove a filler word, then listen across the edit. Apply noise cleanup cautiously.
Export and compare
Download the finished file and, if available, separate tracks. Play them outside the product and compare with the untouched source.
Example
The edit that deserves a second listen
A transcript may label “can” where a guest said “can’t”. Verify meaning in the audio before deleting or publishing a quote.
When this kind of studio fits
Fast spoken-word edits
Transcript-based editing can speed up a solo show; inspect cut boundaries and speaker labels.
Remote recording
Test connection reliability, separate tracks and recovery options with your actual guests.
Production control
Check whether advanced mixing, collaboration and export are available on your current plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is Podcastle free?
Check its current plan page for recording, AI credits, exports and commercial terms; free-tier limits can change.
Does transcript editing replace listening?
No. Review the audio around every important cut, especially names, numbers and negations.
