What is a podcast transcript?
A podcast transcript is a reference to your podcast audio, word-for-word. It usually includes speaker names and time stamps for easier referencing.
It is usually published on the podcast website, partly since some of the major podcast directories do not offer the option to include a transcript along with the audio.
If you still do not have a website for your podcast, don't worry - with Ebby, you can publicly share your transcripts with your audience (at no extra charge).
Don't confuse podcast transcripts with show notes
Show notes are a summary (or an overview) of your show and may include information such as guest bio, links to resources, and general context. On the other hand, podcast transcription is the process of converting your audio into text, word for word.
What is it good for?
Podcast transcripts are incredibly beneficial for you as the host, and as a marketer:
- Search engines love text and so converting your audio to text will increase your ranking in search results.
- Easily accessible podcasts attract people with hearing impairment, non native speakers, and those who rather read than listen (yes, they exist).
- Text helps you repurpose content and publish your show in other formats: write articles, use quotes from the show in your emails and social media marketing campaigns. Transform the text into images and even videos.
How to transcribe a podcast
You can transcribe a podcast yourself or hire someone else to do it for you. If you choose not to do it yourself, you can choose between hiring a human transcriptionist, or use an automatic transcription service.
Every option has its advantages and disadvantages so you should choose the method that best fits your needs.
Where to place my podcast transcriptions?
If you transcribe your podcast and make it available, always mention it anywhere you can: in your intro, in podcast directory pages, etc.
It's important for people who listen to your show (via apps rather than your website) to know transcripts are available, and to attract more people to your website.
You have several options to choose from when it comes to making your show transcripts available to your subscribers:
The recommended approach is to include the transcript on the same page with the episode's audio, usually below the show notes.
Another option is to make the transcript downloadable. That means that instead of having the transcript included on a web page, your readers will download a file.
The downside for this approach is that you don't get to enjoy some of the benefits your transcript provides, and it's a bit less friendly for your readers.
