Embeds

Embeddable Podcast Clips

Share podcast moments anywhere on the web. Audioscrape's embed widget turns any transcribed episode into a shareable, playable clip — for blogs, articles, newsletters, and social media.

What it is

What's an Embed?

A small, self-contained audio player that can be placed on any website. It includes:

  • Audio playback — play a specific clip from any episode, starting at a chosen timestamp.
  • Live transcript — teleprompter-style transcript that highlights as the audio plays.
  • Episode info — podcast name, episode title, and speaker attribution.
  • Links back — viewers can click to hear the full episode on Audioscrape.
Workflow

Creating an Embed

Four clicks, no code beyond a paste:

  1. 1. Find a moment

    Search for a topic, browse episodes, or navigate directly to an episode page on Audioscrape.

  2. 2. Select a segment

    Click on any transcript segment to start playback from that moment. The transcript highlights speaker turns.

  3. 3. Click Share

    Click the share button next to any segment to open the share modal.

  4. 4. Copy the embed code

    Select the "Embed" tab and copy the HTML code. Paste it into your website, blog, or CMS.

The snippet

Embed Code

The embed code is a simple iframe that you can paste anywhere HTML is supported: 

<iframe
  src="https://www.audioscrape.com/embed/episode/[ID]/segment/[TIME]"
  width="100%"
  height="400"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="autoplay"
></iframe>

The embed is responsive and works on all devices. Height can be adjusted (recommended: 350–450px).
