Automatic Podcast Transcription

Podcasts have become a terrific method for artists and businesses to dialogue with their audiences. Even though podcasts are mostly audio, more and more people prefer visuals to enhance their listening experience. Despite this, 80 percent of social networking videos are viewed with the audio turned down. And many of those social media videos did not have subtitles and captions! To boost the number of people who listen to your podcast, consider making subtitles available.
You can boost engagement when more people comprehend the information delivered in the podcast. Unfortunately, making transcripts of your podcast shows can be time-consuming and expensive.
