Transcripts have long been promoted as ways to make your podcast more findable and accessible. But it's only recently that podcast transcripts have become actually useful!
\n
\nAlthough I didn't plan it this way, the timing of this episode is perfect because I just launched a new feature on Podgagement that automatically transcribes audio feedback from your audience!: https://podgagement.com/

\n1. Don't believe the myths about podcast transcripts
\n
\nMyth 1: "Transcripts are good for podcast SEO"
\n
\nMyth 2: "Transcripts make your podcast accessible"
\n
\n2. (Optional) Use transcripts with podcast-production tools
\n
\n- Here are my current favorite transcription-based tools to help when your episode is still in this early post-production stage right after you've record:
\n- Descript (audio and video): https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/descript
\n- Adobe Podcast (audio)
\n- Adobe Premiere Pro (audio and video): https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/audition
\n- Adobe Audition (audio transcript features coming soon)
\n- Hindenburg (audio)
\n
\n3. Make properly formatted podcast transcripts
\n
\n- Easy access to artificial intelligence (AI) tools has made creating transcripts a whole lot faster, easier, and cheaper. The editing tools I mentioned all use AI to generate their transcripts, or you could use other services, too:
\n- Castmagic: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/castmagic
\n- Capsho: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/capsho
\n- Auphonic
\n- Buzzsprout's Cohost AI addon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout
\n- Transistor's AI transcripts feature
\n- Otter
\n- Rev
\n
\n- These use OpenAI's free and open-source Whisper model.
\n- MacWhisper Pro (macOS, free and paid versions)\u2014this is what I used and usually get really good results from: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/macwhisper
\n- Whisper GUI (Windows, free): https://grisk.itch.io/whisper-gui
\n- Run Whisper from the command line (free, but super geeky): https://github.com/openai/whisper
\n
