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!
Although 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/

Don't believe the myths about podcast transcripts

Myth 1: "Transcripts are good for podcast SEO"
Myth 2: "Transcripts make your podcast accessible"

(Optional) Use transcripts with podcast-production tools


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:
Descript (audio and video): https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/descript
Adobe Podcast (audio)
Adobe Premiere Pro (audio and video): https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/audition
Adobe Audition (audio transcript features coming soon)
Hindenburg (audio)


Make properly formatted podcast transcripts



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:


Castmagic: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/castmagic


Capsho: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/capsho


Auphonic


Buzzsprout's Cohost AI addon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout


Transistor's AI transcripts feature


Otter


Rev


These use OpenAI's free and open-source Whisper model.


MacWhisper Pro (macOS, free and paid versions)—this is what I used and usually get really good results from: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/macwhisper


Whisper GUI (Windows, free): https://grisk.itch.io/whisper-gui


Run Whisper from the command line (free, but super geeky): https://github.com/openai/whisper
