PixScriptHow to Get an iVoox Transcript (3 Methods)
iVoox hosts over 2 million audio programs and 100 million episodes, making it the dominant podcast and radio platform across Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru. The platform is built for listening: through the mobile app on your commute, in a browser at your desk, or connected to a smart speaker at home. Getting an iVoox transcript takes a few extra steps, but the process is fast once you know which method fits your situation.
Three methods work reliably in 2026. The first covers every iVoox program without exception, whether it's a Spanish-language political interview show, a Latin American true crime podcast, or a radio program archived on the platform. The second takes under a minute if the show's creator has already set up RSS transcript support. The third skips the audio download entirely for shows that also post to YouTube.
iVoox has no built-in transcription. To get an iVoox transcript, download the episode MP3 from the episode page or the show's RSS feed, then upload it to PixScript for a timestamped, exportable transcript. If the creator publishes RSS transcripts, Overcast or Pocket Casts will show them. Shows that also post to YouTube can be transcribed directly from the URL.
Does iVoox Have a Transcript Feature?
No. iVoox hosts and streams audio but doesn't generate or store text versions of episodes.
iVoox, founded in 2008 in Madrid, Spain, is the dominant audio platform across Spanish-speaking markets. As of 2025, the platform hosts more than 2 million audio programs and 100 million episodes, with registered users exceeding 40 million across Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru. Content spans podcasts, radio programs, audiobooks, and conference recordings, available primarily in Spanish alongside French, Portuguese, Italian, and English. iVoox Free gives listeners access to all content with ads; iVoox Premium (€4.99 per month) removes ads and enables offline playback. As of 2026, iVoox offers no built-in transcription feature on either plan. The platform stores audio as MP3 files accessible through public RSS feeds, and most podcast episodes carry a download button on the web player. The accessibility obligation under WCAG 2.1 Level AA falls on content creators rather than the platform, meaning whether a given iVoox show has a transcript depends entirely on what the creator has configured through their hosting provider.
iVoox's catalog pulls from public RSS feeds. That's actually useful: the RSS XML for any podcast links directly to each episode's MP3. Once you have the file, transcription takes under 2 minutes with PixScript.
The platform is available on iOS, Android, web, Amazon Echo, and Google Home. None of those integrations include transcription. If you need text from an iVoox show, you'll pull the audio yourself using one of the three methods below.
Method 1: Download the Episode MP3 and Upload to PixScript
This method works for every iVoox program: podcast episodes, radio archives, and interview shows alike.
Step 1: Get the episode audio.
For most podcast episodes on iVoox, the web player shows a download icon below the playback controls. Click it and the browser saves the MP3 directly to your device. That's the fastest route when it's available.
If the download icon isn't there, or if you're working with a radio program, go to the show's RSS feed. Search the podcast name followed by "RSS feed" or "podcast feed." Open that URL in your browser and you'll see an XML file listing every episode, each with a direct audio link. Right-click the audio URL for the episode you want and save the file. Most podcast hosting platforms (Spreaker, Podbean, RSS.com, and others) generate a public feed that works this way regardless of which listening app the show is hosted on.
Many Spanish-language shows also maintain their own websites with direct download links per episode. If you know the show's website, check there first.
Step 2: Upload to PixScript.
Go to pixscript.com and click "Upload File." Select the MP3 you downloaded. PixScript transcribes the audio and returns a full text transcript with timestamps, usually within 90 seconds for a 30-minute episode.
Step 3: Export or translate the transcript.
Download the result as TXT, PDF, SRT, or VTT depending on what you need. TXT and PDF work for show notes, research, and reference documents. SRT and VTT are the caption formats for video republishing.
On Pro and Business plans, the translation feature is worth noting here: iVoox carries a large volume of Spanish-language content, and PixScript translates transcripts into 10 languages on Pro or 50+ languages on Business. If you're pulling quotes or research from a Spanish podcast to use in English-language content, transcription and translation happen in the same workflow. You don't need a second tool.
For a full look at transcribing podcast audio across multiple tools, how to transcribe a podcast episode for free walks through the options.
The free plan handles files up to 5 minutes. Pro ($9/month, or $69/year) handles up to 30 minutes. Business ($19/month, or $149/year) removes the length cap, which matters for full radio programs or long-form interviews running 60 to 90 minutes.
Method 2: Check for a Podcast Transcript in Your Podcast App
Some podcast creators publish transcripts directly through their RSS feed using the Podcast Index podcast:transcript namespace. If the creator has done this, certain podcast apps display the transcript alongside the episode player.
Apps that support the standard include Overcast, Pocket Casts, and Podverse. iVoox doesn't support the podcast:transcript namespace, so checking there won't work even if the creator has published a transcript through their feed.
To check:
- Search the podcast in Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Podverse.
- Open the episode and look for a "Transcript" tab near the player controls.
- If the creator published one, it loads as full searchable text.
This takes about 10 seconds when it works. Most iVoox shows, especially radio programs and large-scale production podcasts, haven't enabled RSS transcripts. Independent creators with smaller, dedicated audiences are more likely to have set this up. If there's no Transcript tab in Pocket Casts, the creator hasn't enabled it and Method 1 is the next step.
The podcast:transcript standard has been gaining adoption since 2023. More hosting platforms are adding easy toggle switches for creators to enable it, so it's worth checking before going through the download workflow, even if the odds vary by show.
Method 3: Use the Show's YouTube Channel
A significant share of iVoox podcasts also publish video versions to YouTube. Interview shows, debate podcasts, and news programs particularly tend to do this, especially those with any significant following. If the show has a YouTube channel, paste the video URL directly into PixScript and skip the MP3 download entirely.
- Search the show name on YouTube.
- Find the specific episode you want.
- Copy the URL from the address bar.
- Go to pixscript.com, paste the URL, and click "Transcribe."
PixScript pulls the audio track from the video and returns the same timestamped transcript you'd get from a file upload. For shows that post full episodes to YouTube consistently, this tends to be the fastest of the three methods.
One practical note for Spanish-language content specifically: many of the most popular iVoox shows in Spain and Latin America, including politics, economics, and culture podcasts, maintain active YouTube channels with full episode uploads. Search the show name in Spanish on YouTube; many upload their content under the same episode titles they use on iVoox.
The limitation: some pure-radio programs and regional shows don't have YouTube channels, or they only post clips rather than full episodes. For those cases, Method 1 is more reliable. If you find a YouTube version, use the full episode URL rather than a clip to get a complete transcript.

Which iVoox Transcript Method Should You Use?
Each method fits a different situation.
| Situation | Best Method |
|---|---|
| Any show, guaranteed result | Method 1 (MP3 download + PixScript upload) |
| Podcast with RSS transcript support | Method 2 (Overcast or Pocket Casts) |
| Show also posts full episodes to YouTube | Method 3 (PixScript + YouTube URL) |
| Spanish podcast you want in English | Method 1, then use PixScript translation |
The practical order: try Method 2 first since it's instant. If there's no Transcript tab in Pocket Casts, check whether the show has a YouTube channel (Method 3). If neither option is available, Method 1 covers everything regardless of the platform.
One combination that works well for research: use Method 3 to get the transcript via YouTube, then run PixScript's AI rewrite to turn it into structured show notes or a blog post outline. For anyone pulling content from Spanish-language interview or analysis shows regularly, pairing the transcript with the rewrite tool saves a lot of editing time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does iVoox have a transcript feature?
No. iVoox doesn't offer native transcription as of 2026. The platform streams and hosts audio but doesn't generate or store text versions of episodes. For a searchable transcript, download the episode MP3 from the episode page or RSS feed and upload it to PixScript, or check whether the podcast creator has published transcripts through their RSS feed in Overcast or Pocket Casts.
How do I download an MP3 from iVoox?
On the iVoox web player, most podcast episodes show a download icon below the player controls. Click it to save the MP3 directly. If the download icon isn't available, find the show's public RSS feed by searching the podcast name plus "RSS feed," open the XML in your browser, and right-click the audio link for the episode you want.
Can I translate an iVoox Spanish podcast transcript into English?
Yes. After transcribing the episode in PixScript, the translation feature converts the text into English or any of 10 languages on Pro, or 50+ languages on Business. That covers Spanish to English, Spanish to French, or between most major language pairs. Transcription and translation run in the same workflow, so you don't need a separate tool.
Is PixScript free for iVoox transcripts?
The free plan covers 10 transcripts per month with a 5-minute length limit per file. Most podcast episodes run longer, so Pro ($9/month, or $69/year) handles files up to 30 minutes. Business ($19/month, or $149/year) removes the length cap entirely, which matters for radio programs and long-form interview shows.
Does iVoox Premium include transcription?
No. iVoox Premium (€4.99 per month) removes ads and enables offline playback, but doesn't include transcription or any text output. For a full transcript, you'll need a dedicated tool like PixScript alongside iVoox.
If you work with Spanish-language podcasts or any audio from iVoox regularly, PixScript keeps the workflow in one place: upload or link the audio, get a timestamped transcript, translate if needed, and export to SRT, VTT, TXT, or PDF depending on what you need.
