Podcast Transcript — view and copy the script
Every podcast generated by LearnCastAI contains the full script as text. You can view it on the podcast detail page anytime, select it and copy it for subtitles, study notes or handouts.
This guide shows you where to find the script, how to copy it reliably, and what to do if it doesn't appear.

Common questions about the script
Three typical situations — and how to solve them.
Script not visible at first glance
The script section is collapsed by default. Users who only see the player often miss the "Script" button that expands the text view.
Scroll down on the podcast detail page — the "Script" button sits below the player. Click it to reveal the full text.
Script completely missing
If the script section doesn't appear at all, the podcast is likely still generating — or, for very old podcasts, the script may not have been persisted.
Check the podcast status. If it shows "Ready" and nothing appears, a support ticket is the fastest way forward.
How do I save the text as a file?
There is currently no native TXT export button on the script page. This is intentional — most users paste the script straight into Word, Notion or Google Docs.
Select all text with Ctrl+A (Mac: Cmd+A), copy with Ctrl+C (Mac: Cmd+C), and paste into your favorite editor.
3 steps to the transcript
How to get the script out of your podcast into any notes, document or subtitle tool.
Open the podcast detail page
Sign in and click the podcast you want in the dashboard. The detail page shows player, actions and script.
If the podcast is still generating, wait until the status switches to "Ready" — only then is the script available.
Expand the "Script" section
Below the player you'll see a button labeled "Script" with an arrow icon. Click it — the full text expands.
The section contains the complete transcript, formatted with paragraphs. For dialog podcasts, speakers are labeled as "Speaker A" / "Speaker B".
Select and copy the text
Click once inside the script area. Select all text with Ctrl+A (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+A (Mac) and copy with Ctrl+C / Cmd+C.
Switch to Word, Notion, Google Docs, your email client or a subtitle editor and paste with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V.
What you can do with the script
Six use cases where the transcript saves you time.
Full verbatim text
The script contains exactly what the AI voices read out — word for word. You don't miss any punchline or definition.
Speaker labels preserved
For dialog podcasts, speaker markers (e.g. "A:" and "B:") stay intact. Learning partners or roles can be clearly assigned.
Use for subtitles
If you cut the podcast into a video (e.g. with an avatar), the script is the foundation for subtitles and notes.
Print as study notes
Paste the script into Word, adjust formatting, print — your custom cheat sheet or study group handout is ready.
Quick keyword search
Use Ctrl+F in your browser to find individual terms in the script. Much faster than scrubbing through an audio file.
Multilingual scripts
When you generate podcasts in different languages, the script comes in that language too — perfect for language teaching and ESL learners.
Upload problems LearnCastAI — fix errors when uploading files
You have your learning material ready, click upload — and nothing happens, or you receive an error message. Upload problems LearnCastAI are frustrating, but they are usually resolved within a few minutes. The most common causes for uploads that fail are well-known and well-documented. This guide walks you through the most common upload problems LearnCastAI users encounter and shows you how to fix them without technical support. This way you do not lose valuable learning time and can quickly start your AI podcast.
The most common upload errors and their solutions
The most common upload problems LearnCastAI encounters include: First, an unsupported file format — check that your document is in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format; other formats may not be processed. Second, a file that is too large — the maximum upload limit is currently 50 MB; larger files must be split. Third, a corrupted document — try re-generating the PDF or copying the text into a new Word document. Fourth, connection drops — especially on mobile connections; switch to a stable Wi-Fi and try again.
Preventive measures for smooth uploads
To avoid upload problems LearnCastAI encounters from the start, we recommend the following best practices: always save documents as PDF/A or PDF 1.4 for maximum compatibility. Remove password protection and usage rights from PDFs before uploading. Keep documents under 30 MB for fast and reliable uploads. Use a modern browser in the latest version. Disable browser extensions that may block upload dialogs, such as certain ad blockers or script blockers.
Should upload problems LearnCastAI causes persist despite all measures, our support team is ready to help. Describe the error, name the file format and your operating system — we help quickly and straightforwardly. Your goal is to learn, not to wrestle with technical hurdles.
