Problem & Audience:

• Listeners often want searchable text or summary of episodes to quote, study, or reference. Several Reddit threads ask exactly for ‘paste a link, get a transcript’ (e.g. r/podcasts post 1b9qm4e in Mar-2024, r/podcast post 1bzsqe6 in Apr-2024, r/podcasting post 18c3eor in Dec-2023, etc.). Each thread contains multiple up-votes and comments, showing repeated unmet demand from non-podcaster listeners (not creators).

Keyword demand:

• “podcast transcription” – 2 900 global searches / mo, KD 18 (low) CPC $5.62 → clear monetisable intent.
• “spotify podcast transcript” – 590 / mo, KD 0, CPC $7.17 (meets 500-volume & <30 difficulty rules).
• “podcast transcript generator from link” – 110 / mo, KD 9.
• “podcast transcript generator free” – 90 / mo, KD 24.
• “podcast transcript spotify” – 140 / mo, KD 0.
• Many long-tails around “apple podcast transcript”, “download podcast transcript”, etc. Together they surpass 3-4 k searches / mo with mostly sub-30 difficulty.
