Search
Search across millions of hours of transcribed audio: podcasts, government meetings, and your own recordings. Find exactly what was said, who said it, and when, with timestamps that take you straight to that moment in the audio.
Search Types
Two retrieval modes, one search bar. Pick by what you're hunting: the exact words, or the idea behind them.
Text Search
Find exact words and phrases in transcripts. Best for specific quotes, names, or terminology.
Example: "artificial intelligence regulation"
Semantic Search
Find conceptually related content even if different words are used. Best for topics and ideas.
Example: "impact of AI on jobs" finds discussions about automation and employment
Search Syntax

Search Results
Every result is a citable moment, not just a link. Each one carries:
- Transcript snippet — the relevant portion of the conversation with your search terms highlighted
- Timestamp — click to jump directly to that moment in the episode
- Speaker identification — see who said what (when available)
- Episode context — podcast name, episode title, and publish date
Tips for Better Results
- Start broad, then narrow down with filters if you get too many results
- Use semantic search for topics, text search for specific quotes or names
- Try different phrasings — podcasters may discuss topics using various terms
- Use date filters to find the most recent discussions on evolving topics
Troubleshooting
No results found?
Try broader search terms, remove filters, or use semantic search to find conceptually related content. Not all podcasts are indexed yet.
Too many irrelevant results?
Use exact phrases with quotes, filter by specific podcasts or date ranges, or switch to text search for precise matching.
Speaker filter not showing expected names?
Speaker identification is automatic and may not always correctly identify guests. Try searching for the speaker's name directly in the query.
Looking for a specific podcast?
If a podcast isn't in our index, you can submit it for processing. Popular podcasts are prioritized.
